NOTE: For push-on style connector, hold the unit in
place throughout the fill.
6. Open the vent valve to begin lling your Sprint/
Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller. You should hear some
oxygen escaping; do not worry. The hissing sound
you hear is perfectly normal.
NOTE: Liquid level gauge readings are most accurate
30 seconds or more after the Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow
Stroller is filled.
7. You may also see vapor around the connection.
This is normal and is due to the great difference
in temperature between the liquid oxygen and the
warm air surrounding the units.
8. When the unit is full, close the vent valve. You
can tell that the unit is full when the hissing sound
changes in tone, and some liquid comes out of the
vent line.
NOTE: Closing the valve after a nearly continuous
stream of liquid is discharging fills the Sprint/Stroller/
Hi Flow Stroller most completely, but wastes some
liquid oxygen.
NOTE: Closing the valve at the first sign of liquid
discharge does not fill the Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow
Stroller as completely, but saves liquid oxygen.
9. For the push-on style connectors, push the release button down until the units separate. For all
other connectors rotate the unit until it separates
from the stationary unit.

Sprint / Stroller / Hi Flow Stroller
Troubleshooting
The following information is intended to help you troubleshoot and solve simple operational problems that
you may experience when using your Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller.
Issue Solution
The Portable makes a
hissing sound.
• Hissing can occur to maintain the correct operating pressure within the Portable.
It is most likely to hiss after filling or when the position of the Portable is
changed. Hissing can last for approximately 10 minutes after filling. Additionally,
it can occur when the flow control valve is at a low setting.
• If the portable has been laid in an improper position return the portable to an
upright position and allow several minutes for the unit to stabilize
The Portable flow stops
during use.
• Ensure that the cannula is firmly attached to the Oxygen Outlet.
• Ensure that the cannula is not kinked.
• Check the contents indicator/level gauge and fill the portable if needed.
• Ensure the flow control knob is not in the off (“0”) position.
The Portable does not fill. • Verify that there is oxygen in the Reservoir.
• Ensure that the Portable and Reservoir fill connectors are fully engaged throughout the filling process.
The Portable vent valve
does not close properly
at the end of the filling
process.
• If the vent valve fails to close and the hissing sound and oxygen vapor cloud
continue, carefully remove the Portable by depressing the release button on the
Reservoir. Venting from the bottom of the Portable will stop in a few minutes.
Allow the unit to warm until you can close the vent valve. The Portable may
require as much as 60 minutes to restore adequate pressure for accurate oxygen
flow. If needed, use an alternate source of oxygen such as a flow control valve
attached to the Reservoir.
The Portable does not
disengage easily from the
Reservoir after filling.
• The Portable and Reservoir fill connectors may have become frozen.
• DO NOT USE FORCE. Allow a few minutes for the frozen parts to warm, then disengage the Portable when the ice has melted. To prevent the units from freezing
together, always wipe the male fill connector on the Reservoir and the female fill
connector on the Portable with a clean, dry cloth before filling.

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of
the Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller, including
cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable
to the frequency of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance
d = 1,2 √P
d = 1,2 √P
d = 2,3 √P
where P is the maximum output power rating
of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the
transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as
determined by an electromagnetic site surveya,
should be less than the compliance level in
each frequency rangeb.

the Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller may be reduced to 1m. The 1m test distance is permitted by IEC 61000-4-3.
a
For some services, only the uplink frequencies are included.
b
The carrier shall be modulated using a 50% duty cycle square wave signal.
c
As an alternative to FM modulation, 50% pulse modulation at 18 Hz may be used because while it does not represent actual modulation, it
would be worst case.
