GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual provides the information necessary to operate the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION electronic
oxygen conserver with built-in regulator in accordance with a physician’s prescription.
The EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver can be used with
any CGA 870 post-valve cylinder (see Fig. A) at home
or away from home to provide your specific oxygen
requirements. It requires two (2) 1.5 volt AA alkaline
batteries for operation.
Statements in this manual preceded by the following
words are of special significance:
WARNING!
Indicates there is a possibility of injury to you or others.
CAUTION!
Indicates there is a possibility of damage to the device or to other property.
*
NOTE
Indicates points of particular interest or emphasis that allow for more efficient and convenient
operation of the equipment.
The CHAD Therapeutics EVOLUTIONTM MOTION Model OM-900M is intended for prescription use
only, to be used as part of a portable oxygen delivery system for patients that require supplemental
oxygen up to 6 liters per minute, in their home and for ambulatory use.
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES & PRECAUTIONS
Read this instruction manual carefully to ensure your complete understanding before operating your
EVOLUTIONTM MOTION electronic conserver. This manual is part of the unit and must be available at
all times. Use the unit for the designated purpose only (see “Purpose” on page 7).
For your own safety and that of your patients, please observe the following points:
OPERATING THE UNIT
WARNING!
Failure to observe the following warnings may result in damage to the unit or injury to life or
limb:
• Smoking near oxygen equipment is strictly prohibited. While using your EVOLUTIONTM MOTION
conserver, your clothes may come into contact with oxygen-enriched air, making your clothes more
flammable. This also applies for a time after use, until the increased oxygen concentration has
escaped from your clothing. For this reason, you must keep cigarettes, matches, burning tobacco
and open flames, such as lighted candles or fireplaces, away from the area where the system is
being stored or operated.
• Avoid the creation of any spark, such as static electricity caused by any type of friction, near the
oxygen equipment.
*
NOTE: Oxygen will not burn; however, it does vigorously accelerate the burning of any flammable material.
• Cannula tubing is a disposable accessory that should be replaced periodically following normal
usage. Continue reuse of cannula tubing may cause contamination which may lead to respiratory
distress. Disposable tubing should be disposed of in accordance with local ordinances and/or
regulations for disposal. Replacements are available through your homecare provider. (OC-401S,
case of fifty (50) 4 ft [1.52m] cannulas or equivalent).

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES & PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! (Cont.)
Please remember that this is for your own safety!
• Keep all parts free of oil and grease. Hydrocarbon compounds such as oil, grease, petroleum-based
products, cleaning agents containing alcohol, hand cream or adhesive bandages can cause
explosive reactions if they come into contact with highly compressed oxygen. Please wash and
dry your hands properly prior to operating your oxygen equipment.
• Never use aerosol sprays near the oxygen equipment.
• Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixture.
• Keep your oxygen equipment at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any electrical appliance.
• Be sure to turn off the oxygen supply by closing the cylinder valve when not in use.
• Do not use cannula tubing that is longer than 7 ft. (2.13 m).
• Do not use a mask or pediatric or other low-flow cannula tubing when operating the unit.
• Do not use the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver as a handle for carrying your oxygen cylinder.
CAUTION!
• To prevent the unit from overheating, do not place it near any heating devices and do not expose
it to direct sunlight. Do not expose the unit to extreme temperatures.
• Your EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver must not be immersed in liquid or cleaned with liquid
agents. Prevent water or other liquid substances from entering the unit.
• Protect your EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver from the cold and from continued exposure to
water, such as rain.
• Please observe the section “Hygienic Preparation” on page 17 in order to avoid infection or
bacterial contamination.
• Prevent dust or any small particles from entering the unit.
• Take care not to get entangled in the nasal cannula tube, which could impede movement and
lead to discomfort around the throat.
• Your EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver is protected against interference. To ensure safety of
5
use, however, do not use a mobile phone in the immediate vicinity of the unit.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES & PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION! (Cont.)
• Oxygen conserving systems only work reliably upon sufficiently strong inhalation. Therefore,
please observe the following:
• Do not use the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION at night or while sleeping;
• Do not use the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION for babies or children;
• Do not use the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION if you only breathe through your mouth.
• Do not use the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION if you breathe more than 40 times per minute.
• Closely observe the permissible ambient conditions listed in the “Technical Data” section on
pages 23-26. Failure to observe them may lead to a fire risk or damage to the unit.
• Tighten all screwed unions by hand only. Do not use a tool.
• Do not use the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION with a humidifier.
• Do not use if leaking or damaged.
• Always open the cylinder valve slowly.
• Be sure to carry extra AA-size alkaline batteries in the event they are needed.
*
NOTE:
• Always ensure that your oxygen cylinder is sufficiently full. We recommend always keeping a full
spare cylinder in reserve.
• Oxygen supplied by this equipment is supplemental only and is not intended for life support applications.
ACCESSORIES/REPAIRS
CAUTION!
• Malfunctions and a lack of biocompatibility may result if third-party articles are used. Please bear
in mind that in these cases any guarantee entitlement and liability shall lapse where accessories
recommended in the instruction manual or original spare parts are not used.
• Servicing and repair work must only be carried out by the manufacturer (CHAD Therapeutics) or
by trained personnel. Refer repairs to authorized personnel.
Please contact your Home Care Provider if you have any questions.

INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The EVOLUTIONTM MOTION electronic conserver is designed for use as part of a portable
ambulatory oxygen system for the purpose of facilitating long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT). It
provides mobile LTOT patients with an extended operating time of their mobile system. The
EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver includes a combination of a low-pressure regulator and an
oxygen conserver and is capable of delivering a precise amount of supplemental oxygen at the
optimal point in the breathing cycle. Operationally, the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver greatly
increases efficiency in the delivery of oxygen, maximizing the beneficial effects and eliminating
unnecessary oxygen waste.
The EVOLUTIONTM MOTION is not suitable for use during sleep.
The EVOLUTIONTM MOTION is not suitable for children.
Use the unit exclusively for the purpose described above.
USER QUALIFICATION
Prior to beginning therapy, patients must be given instruction by qualified personnel on how to
use the unit.

INTRODUCTION
FUNCTION
The EVOLUTIONTM MOTION OM-900M oxygen therapeutic device, which combines a regulator,
motion sensor, and an oxygen conserver, is designed for use as part of an ambulatory oxygen
system.
When we breathe, approximately one-third of the time is spent inhaling, and two-third exhaling. As a
result, oxygen delivered by continuous flow is wasted during exhalation. By eliminating oxygen flow
during exhalation, a two-thirds savings is possible. Additionally, the application of the EVOLUTION
MOTION is based on the fact that only oxygen inhaled at the beginning of the breath actually reaches
the alveoli and is absorbed by the body. The oxygen inhaled during the remainder of the breath is
not used and is exhaled again.
However, it is the addition of the patented motion-sensing technology which makes the OM-900M a
unique therapeutic device. For those patients who have increased oxygen requirements based on
their activity level, the OM-900M stores two selectable settings; one for rest and one for activity. By
sensing the user’s activity, the device can automatically switch from a lower setting in “Rest” mode
to a higher setting in “Active” mode to meet the user’s increased oxygen needs.
For these reasons, the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION OM-900M is designed to be an integral component
of a lightweight, long-lasting ambulatory system.
