NOTE: This mode delivers a bolus of oxygen at 15 BPM across all Pulse Settings (1, 2, 3 or 4).

4. Connect 1/8” silicon tubing to the oxygen flow port of the measurement device and the Cannula Nozzle Fitting on the POC.

5. Allow approximately five minutes for the device to reach full oxygen concentration and to stabilize. If you change the Pulse Setting, allow the device time to stabilize at the new setting before recording readings.

NOTE: It is normal for oxygen concentration values to cycle up and down. The highest value should be considered final for the device. If the swing is more than 2%, the unit is not yet stable enough to measure.

6. To exit Auto Pulse Mode, press the “OK” button or hold down the “Power” button until the unit turns off. When powered back on, the device will be in normal operating mode.

Maintenance FAQ

1. Does the Activox 4L model have scheduled maintenance?

Like all POCs, the Activox 4L will eventually require a sieve bed change. In the Service Life section of the Operator’s Manual, it is suggested that the patient run the device weekly for a few hours if it is has not been used on a regular or daily basis. Frequent Low Oxygen Purity and High Temperature alarms may indicate that the system requires service.

2. What type of rechargeable batteries are in the LifeChoice Activox 4L and what are the recommendations to extend the overall service life of the rechargeable batteries?

All Inova Labs POCs use Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries. The characteristics of Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries include: high voltage/light weight, no memory effect, and flat discharge voltage.

• A partial discharge reduces stress and prolongs battery life. It is recommended the battery be recharged, if possible, prior to total discharge. The Operator’s Manual informs the patient to “recharge the battery, even if only partially depleted as often as possible.

• Extreme temperature swings effect the battery’s cycle life. Leaving the device or external battery in a hot car, especially if exposed to the sun, is very stressful and can damage the cells.

• When not in use, store the device and/or External Battery is a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, we recommend keeping the device on a charger full-time so the it will retain sufficient charge to perform Repressurization. This will help extend sieve bed life. For long- term storage of the External Battery, we recommend keeping about a 40% charge on the battery. This allows for some selfdischarge while still retaining sufficient charge to keep the protection circuit active.

3. What is the standard warranty of the LifeChoice Activox 4L?

The basic description of the warranty is that from date of shipment from Inova Labs, the device’s internal hardware is covered for three years while the batteries, sieve bed and accessories are covered for one year. Please refer to the Limited Warranty that is included in the Sales Agreement and in every Operator’s Manual for a complete description.

4. How do I initiate a return for service to Inova Labs?
