SAFETY SUMMARY

CAUTION

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

Risk of electric shock. DO NOT disassemble. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE OPERATING THIS PRODUCT.

WARNING

The use of oxygen therapy requires that special care be taken to reduce the risk of fire. Any materials that will burn in air, and some that will not, are easily ignited and burn rapidly in high concentrations of oxygen. For safety concerns, it is necessary that all sources of ignition be kept away from the product and preferably out of the room in which it is being used. NO SMOKING signs should be prominently displayed.

A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease or greasy substances come in contact with oxygen under pressure. These substances MUST be kept away from the oxygen concentrator, tubing and connections, and all other oxygen equipment. DO NOT use any lubricants unless recommended by Invacare.

For optimum performance, Invacare recommends that each concentrator be on and running for a minimum of 30 minutes at a time. Shorter periods of operation may reduce maximum product life. If it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water, call Qualified Service Personnel for examination and repair.

Keep the cord away from HEATED or HOT surfaces. NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening. 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. Fill humidifier with water to the level shown by the manufacturer. DO NOT overfill.

SAFETY SUMMARY

WARNING (CONTINUED)

Keep at least 3 inches away from walls, draperies, furniture, and the like.

Invacare recommends that Crush-Proof oxygen tubing (supplied by Invacare) be used with this product and NOT exceed 50 ft. (15.2m) in length.

MAINTENANCE The Invacare Oxygen Concentrator was specifically designed to minimize routine preventive maintenance at intervals of once per year. Only professionals of the healthcare field or persons fully conversant with this process such as authorized or factory trained personnel should perform preventive maintenance or performance adjustments on the oxygen concentrator.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE Most electronic equipment is influenced by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). CAUTION should be exercised with regard to the use of portable communications equipment in the area around such equipment.

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

WARNING

ALWAYS unplug this product IMMEDIATELY after using. Avoid using while bathing. If continuous usage is required by the physicians prescription:

The concentrator must be located in another room at least seven (7) feet from the bath.

DO NOT come in contact with the concentrator while wet. DO NOT place or store product where it can drop into

water or other liquid.

DO NOT reach for product that has fallen into water. UNPLUG IMMEDIATELY.

A product should NEVER be left unattended when plugged in.

SAFETY SUMMARY

WARNING (CONTINUED)

This device is to be used only in accordance with the prescription of a physician and this Owners Manual. If at any time the patient or attendant conclude that the patient is receiving an insufficient amount of oxygen, the supplier and/or physician should be contacted immediately. No adjustments should be made to the flowrate unless prescribed by a physician.

Close supervision is necessary when this product is used near children or physically-challenged individuals.

Use this product for only intended use as described in this manual. DO NOT use parts, accessories or adapters other than those

authorized by Invacare. DO NOT connect the concentrator in parallel or series with

other oxygen concentrators or oxygen therapy devices. Use of some administration accessories or certain humidifiers

not specified for use with oxygen concentrator may impair the performance.

In certain circumstances oxygen therapy can be hazardous. Invacare recommends that you seek medical advice before using this machine.

This equipment is to be used as an oxygen supplement and is not considered life supporting or life sustaining.

Avoid creation of any spark near medical oxygen equipment. This includes sparks from static electricity created by any type of friction.

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTION

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE.

INTRODUCTION/ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Your Oxygen Concentrator is intended for individual use in the home. It is an electronically operated device that separates oxygen from room air. It provides high concentration of oxygen directly to you through a nasal cannula or mask. Clinical studies have documented that oxygen concentrators are therapeutically equivalent to other types of oxygen delivery systems.

Your Provider will show you how to use your oxygen concentrator. He/She should be contacted with any questions or problems regarding your Oxygen Concentrator.This Owners Manual will tell you about your concentrator and will serve as a reference as you use your concentrator.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SELECT A LOCATION

You may select a room in your house where using your oxygen concentrator would be most convenient. Your concentrator can be easily rolled from room to room on its casters.

Your Oxygen Concentrator will perform best when operated under the following conditions. Usage in environments other than those described may result in the need for increased equipment maintenance. The air intake of the unit should be located in a well ventilated area to avoid airborne pollutants and/or fumes.

ECOMMENDED END-USER GUIDELINES FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE:

Temperature: 50°F - 95°F (10°C - 35°C) Electrical: No extension cords. Placement: No closer than 3-inches from the wall,

furniture, draperies, or similar surfaces.

Tubing and Cannula: 7 ft. cannula with a maximum 50 ft. of

Crush-Proof Tubing (DO NOT PINCH).

Environment: Smoke and soot-free. No confined spaces

(Example: NO closets). Relative Humidity: 20 to 60% Time of Operation: Up to 24 hours per day. Flow Rate From 1/2 L/min. to 5 L/min.

For flow rates less than 1 L/min., use the

Pediatric Flowmeter.

Minimum OperatingTime: 30 Minutes

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Ensure that your concentrator is at least (3) three-inches away from walls, draperies or furniture to assure sufficient air flow. Avoid deep pile carpets and heaters, radiators or hot air registers.

PLUG IN POWER CORD

1. Plug in power cord to an electrical outlet.

CONNECT HUMIDIFIER (IF SO PRESCRIBED)

1. Fill humidifier with distilled water to the level indicated by the

manufacturer.

WARNING

DO NOT overfill humidifier. Replace the humidifier cap and securely tighten. DO NOT reverse the oxygen input and output connections.

Water from the humidifier bottle WILL travel through the cannula back to the patient.
