INTRODUCTION
This Operator’s Manual will provide familiarity with the LifeChoice®
Activox® Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) model XYC100B-P4L and
its accessories. Be sure to read all of the enclosed information in its entirety
before using the device.
The device is an internally powered, Type BF device when powered by
the Internal Battery and a Class II, Type BF device when connected to the
external AC Power Supply, DC Power Supply or rechargeable External
Battery. The essential performance of the device is to provide oxygen
at a volume that remains within tolerance (the tolerance was defined
based on technical judgment from within the manufacturer’s expertise
in this specific medical application). In addition, the device’s ability to
detect certain error conditions (such as low purity or no breath) and create
an alarm is also considered a part of essential performance.
Operation with the DUO2 Stationary Base Concentrator
The Activox 4L can be purchased as part of the Inova Labs Activox DUO2
system. The system is composed of an Actiovox 4L POC and the DUO2
stationary base concentrator. If your POC came with the Activox DUO2
system, please refer to the Activox DUO2 Operator’s Manual for POC
operating and charging instructions.
The POC and stationary base can be disconnected and used independently
yet it is recommended they be connected. When connected:
This manual applies to the LifeChoice Activox POC XYC100B-P4L.

supplemental, high concentration oxygen to these patients. It is not lifesupporting nor life-sustaining. It may be used continuously in a home,
institution or travel environment. The LifeChoice Activox is also portable.
This device should be used only when prescribed by a physician.
1. U.S. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
2. It is the responsibility of the patient and/or provider to make back-up
arrangements for an alternative oxygen supply.
3. Availability of an alternate source of oxygen is required in case of power
outage or mechanical failure.
4. The device is to be operated in the approved carry case provided.
5. The device should be located as to avoid pollutants or flames.
6. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical
electrical equipment.
7. The device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment
other than the the Activox DUO2.
8. When traveling by air, the device and External Battery must be transported
as carry-on (not checked) baggage.
9. The device and External Battery contain lithium-ion batteries that are subject
to special shipping regulations. If shipping either the device or External
Battery, notify the shipper that the shipment will contain lithium-ion batteries.
10. In the event of a battery’s cell leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in
contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected
area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
1. The device is not intended to be life-sustaining or life-supporting.
2. In certain circumstances, oxygen therapy can be hazardous. Please
seek medical advice before using this device.
3. The device is designed to provide a flow of high purity oxygen
up to 4 LPMeq pulse. The device should only be used by patients
prescribed oxygen therapy within this range.
4. As the device will alarm through audio and visual indicators, patients
who are unable to communicate discomfort, hear, see and/or
understand the alarms may require additional monitoring.
