SECTION 4—TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Intended Use

Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use by patients with respiratory disorders who require supplemental oxygen. The device is not intended to sustain or support life. The concentrator is intended for use within a home or institutional environment.

Technical Description

The Invacare Perfecto2 concentrator is used by patients with respiratory disorders who require supplemental oxygen. The

device is not intended to sustain or support life. The oxygen concentration level of the output gas ranges from

87% to 95.6%. The oxygen is delivered to the patient through the use of a nasal cannula.

The Invacare Perfecto2 concentrator uses a molecular sieve and pressure swing adsorption methodology to produce the

oxygen gas output. Ambient air enters the device, is filtered and then compressed. This compressed air is then directed toward one of two nitrogen adsorbing sieve beds. Concentrated oxygen exits the opposite end of the active sieve bed and is directed into an oxygen reservoir where it is delivered to the patient.

The Invacare Perfecto2 concentrator is capable of operation by the patient in a home environment or in an institutional

environment. Device operates at a nominal 230 VAC/50 Hertz supply.

NOTE: Both concentrator models (IRC5PO2AW and IRC5PO2VAW) have identical operating parameters with the exception of the product weight and power consumption.

Service information will be available upon request to qualified technical personnel only.
