1.0 Introduction

1.1 Equipment Provider Responsibility

All Equipment Providers of the Focus™ Portable Oxygen Concentrator
must assume responsibilities for handling, operational check-out, patient
instruction, and maintenance. These responsibilities are outlined below
and throughout this manual.

This unit is not to be used for life support. Geriatric, pediatric, or any other patients unable to
communicate discomfort while using this unit may require additional monitoring. Patients with
hearing and/or sight impairment(s) may need assistance with monitoring alarms.

As an Equipment Provider, you must do all of the following:

■ Inspect the condition of each Focus unit immediately upon
delivery to your business location. Note any sign of damage,
external or internal, on the delivery receipt, and report it
directly to both the freight company and AirSep Corporation
immediately.

■ Check the operation of each Focus unit before delivery to a
patient. Always operate the unit for a minimum of 10 minutes,
and check that the oxygen concentration level is within
specifications, as described in Section 5 of this manual.

■ Deliver Focus units only to patients authorized by a physician’s
prescription. Focus must not be used as a life-supporting
device.

■ Instruct patients how to use Focus in conjunction with the
Patient Manual.

■ Instruct patients to notify their physicians and/or Equipment
Providers if they experience any signs of discomfort.

■ Be available to service each patient at any time.

■ Maintain Focus in accordance with Section 7.

■ Repair components and replace parts only as outlined in this
manual. Use only AirSep parts for replacement in Focus Oxygen
Concentrators.
