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

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.

Part No 1118353 5 Platinum™Series

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

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 the concentrator 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 technician for examination and repair.

Keep the cord away from heated or hot surfaces.

DO NOT move or relocate concentrator by pulling on the cord.

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.

SECTION 5—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. 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 owner’s manual will tell you about your concentrator and will serve as a reference as you use your concentrator.

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.
