HOMEFILL II INFORMATION

HomeFill II is an accessory device to the oxygen concentrator that enables the patient to refill custom portable oxygen cylinders for personal use.

NOTICE

The HomeFill II compressor is for use with specially designed Invacare Platinum™5, 10 and XL HomeFill II compatible oxygen concentrators.

The oxygen concentrator can be set to the following maximum flowrates when operating with HomeFill II compressor:

Platinum 5 and XL: 3 L/min. or less.

Platinum 10: 5 L/min. or less.

To determine if your oxygen concentrator is HomeFill II compatible, examine the lower right corner of the rear of the oxygen concentrator for an outlet fitting. Refer to the illustration below.

HomeFill™II Compressor 7 Part No 1100873

SECTION 1—IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 WARNING

SECTION 1 - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product. DO NOT use this product or any available optional equipment without first completely reading and understanding these instructions and any additional instructional material such as Owner’s Manuals, Service Manuals or Instruction Sheets supplied with this product or optional equipment. If you are unable to understand the Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a health care professional, dealer or technical personnel before attempting to use this equipment otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

CAUTION

“Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on order of a physician, or any other practitioner licensed by the law of the State in which he/she practices to use or order the use of this device.”

When using the HomeFill II, basic precautions should ALWAYS be followed, including the following:

 WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS,ELECTROCUTION, FIRE, OR INJURY TO PERSONS.

NEVER use near any type of flame or flammable/explosive substances, vapors or atmosphere.

Part No 1100873 8 HomeFill™II Compressor

SECTION 1—IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT allow oil from your hands or other sources to come into contact with the compressor coupling or bottle fittings. These substances may become flammable in the presence of oxygen and cause injury. Avoid touching the bottle fitting whenever possible. Example of items to avoid are hand creams or lotions, cooking oils, suntan oils or sunblocks and similar oily products. If you use these types of products Invacare suggests you wash your hands prior to using the HomeFill unit. If the bottle fitting should come in contact with such substances it should be cleaned off with a damp cloth prior to connecting it to the compressor.

NEVER oil or lubricate the compressor coupler or bottle fittings. NEVER use any penetrating oil or lubricant such as WD-40 or 3 in One. If connection difficulty is experienced verify that the bottle fitting is being inserted straight down into the compressor coupler. If continued difficulty is experienced contact your supplier for assistance.

Before moving or repositioning either the compressor or concentrator, ALWAYS push the power switch to the Off (O) position, disconnect the AC power cord and the interconnect hose between the compressor and concentrator. Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit or personal injury.

Children should ALWAYS be supervised around the HomeFill II unit. When used with the HomeFill table or similar elevated support surfaces, a child could pull over any such table causing the unit to fall. Failure to observe this warning may result in personal injury or product damage.

Use extreme care when handling and filling an oxygen cylinder. Full oxygen cylinders are under pressure and can become a projectile if dropped or mishandled.

NEVER transport a compressor with a cylinder connected to or stored on the compressor, otherwise injury or damage can occur.

HomeFill™II Compressor 9 Part No 1100873

SECTION 1—IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT store filled oxygen cylinders near a furnace, hot water tank, in the trunk of a car or other high temperature area. Storage in areas such as this can result in bursting of the cylinder or fire.

The use of this device is limited to the oxygen patient. Cylinders MUST be used ONLY by the oxygen patient and are not to be distributed to any other individual for any purpose.

Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.

DO NOT use outdoors.

The maximum patient flow while filling cylinders with the IOH200 is 3 L/min. for Platinum 5 and XL, 5 L/min. for Platinum 10. Patients with a higher prescribed flow should not transfill while receiving supplemental oxygen treatment from the Platinum Concentrator.

NEVER block the air openings of the product or place it on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air opening may be blocked. Keep the openings free from lint, hair and the like.

DO NOT disassemble. The unit is provided with double insulation and has no serviceable parts. Refer to Servicing of Double-Insulated Products on page 11. If any service is required, contact Invacare Technical Service.

If the compressor has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or submersed in water, call a qualified technician for examination and repair.

Part No 1100873 10 HomeFill™II Compressor

SECTION 1—IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

If any leakage of the oxygen cylinder is detected DO NOT attempt to use the cylinder. Turn the flow selector knob on the regulator to Off. If leakage persists, place the cylinder outdoors and notify your Home Health Care Provider or Service Representative of this condition.

The HomeFill II is equipped with a high pressure relief valve to ensure the user’s safety. When activated, this safety feature will make an extremely loud noise. If this noise occurs, turn the unit Off and contact your Home Health Care Provider or Service Representative.

Unplug unit from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use only identical replacement parts. Refer to Servicing of Double-Insulated Products on page 11.

Servicing of Double-Insulated Products

In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated product, nor is a means for grounding to be added to the product. Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and is to be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product MUST be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated product is marked with the words "DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED". The

symbol ( ) is also able to be marked on the product.

CAUTION

DO NOT unplug the power cord by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug not the cord, otherwise damage may occur.

SECTION 4—COMPRESSOR OPERATION

Turning the Compressor On

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 4.5 on page 30.

1. Make sure the concentrator is On. Refer to the concentrator Owner’s Manual.

CAUTION

The concentrator flow rate to the patient MUST be set at maximum: 3 L/min. or less for Platinum 5, XL and 5 L/min. for Platinum 10. Otherwise, the oxygen level to the compressor will be <90% and the compressor will not fill the cylinder.

2. Set the concentrator flow rate to the patient to 3 L/min. or less for Platinum 5, XL and 5 L/min. for Platinum 10. Refer to the concentrator Owner’s Manual.

3. Make sure the cylinder is connected to the compressor. Refer to Connecting the Cylinder to the Compressor on page 23.

4. Push the power switch on the control panel to the On ( ) position.

5. Examine the control panel. The following sequence of events should occur:

A. 0-3 minutes - The O2 Below Normal (YELLOW) light

will be lit while the compressor warms up.

B. After three minutes - The FILLING (GREEN) light will

be on while the cylinder is filling.

C. The FULL (GREEN) light will be on when the cylinder

is finished filling. Proceed to STEP 6.

NOTE: The O

BELOW NORMAL (YELLOW) light may come on

if the oxygen level from the concentrator has not yet reached or drops below 90%. The compressor will begin or resume filling when the
