INTRODUCTION

This instruction guide will acquaint you with the DeVilbiss oxygen concentrator. Make sure that you read and understand this guide before operating your unit. Important safeguards are indicated throughout this guide; pay special attention to all safety information. Contact your Sunrise Medical/DeVilbiss equipment provider should you have any questions.

WARNING

For your safety, the oxygen concentrator must be used according to the prescription determined by your physician.

DANGER

Oxygen causes rapid burning. Do not smoke while your oxygen concentrator is operating, or when you are near a person utilizing oxygen therapy. Do not use within 5 feet (1.6m) of hot, sparking objects or naked sources of flame.

Why Your Physician Prescribed Supplemental Oxygen

Today, many people suffer from heart, lung, and other respiratory diseases. Many of these people can benefit from supplemental oxygen therapy. Your body requires a steady supply of oxygen to function properly. Your physician prescribed supplemental oxygen for you because you are not getting enough oxygen from room air alone. Supplemental oxygen will increase the amount of oxygen that your body receives.

Supplemental oxygen is not addictive. Your physician prescribed a specific oxygen flow to improve symptoms such as headaches, drowsiness, confusion, fatigue, or increased irritability. If these symptoms persist after you begin your supplemental oxygen program, consult your physician.

How Your DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrator Works

Oxygen concentrators are the most reliable, efficient, and convenient source of supplemental oxygen available today. The oxygen concentrator is electrically operated. The unit separates oxygen from room air which allows high-purity supplemental oxygen to be delivered to you through the oxygen outlet. Although the concentrator filters the oxygen in a room, it will not affect the normal amount of oxygen in your room.

SETTING UP YOUR OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR

1.Position your unit near an electrical outlet in the room where you spend most of your time.

DANGER

Keep the oxygen concentrator at least 5 feet (1.6 m) from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of flame.

NOTE– Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch. No other appliances should be plugged into the wall outlet.

2.Position your unit at least 6 inches (16 cm) from walls, draperies, or any other objects that might prevent the proper flow of air in and out of your oxygen concentrator. The oxygen concentrator should be located so as to avoid pollutants or fumes.

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR

1.Before operating your unit, always check to be sure the air filter (located on the back of your unit) is clean. Proper cleaning of this filter is discussed in the Caring For Your Concentrator section on page 7.

2.Attach the appropriate oxygen accessories to the oxygen outlet.

Oxygen Tubing Connection:

a.Thread the oxygen outlet connector onto the oxygen outlet.

b.Attach the oxygen tubing directly to the connector (Figure 3).

Oxygen Tubing Connection With Humidification:

If your physician has prescribed an oxygen humidifier as part of your therapy, follow these steps:

a.Fill the humidifier bottle with distilled water. Do not overfill. (If using a prefill, go to letter b.)

b.Thread the wing nut located on the top of the humidifier bottle to the oxygen outlet so that it is suspended (Figure 4). Make sure it is securely tightened.

c.Attach the oxygen tubing directly to the humidifier bottle outlet fitting (Figure 5).

3.Your physician has prescribed either a nasal cannula, catheter, or face mask. In most cases, they are already attached to the oxygen tubing. If not, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for attachment.

4.Remove the power cord completely from the line cord strap. Make sure the power switch is in the “Off” position, and insert the plug into the wall outlet. The unit is double insulated to guard against electric shock.

NOTE–(only 115 volt units) The plug on the DeVilbiss oxygen concentrator has one blade wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a wall outlet only one way. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

WARNING

Improper use of the power cord and plugs can cause a burn, fire, or other electric shock hazards. Do not use the unit if the power cord is damaged.

OPERATING YOUR DEVILBISS OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR

DANGER

Oxygen causes rapid burning. Do not smoke while your oxygen concentrator is operating, or when you are near a person utilizing oxygen therapy. Keep the oxygen concentrator at least 5 feet (1.6 m) from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of flame.

O p e r a t i o n

DEVILBISS OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS WITH OSD ONLY
The OSD (Oxygen Sensing Device) is a device within your concentrator that monitors the oxy-
gen produced by your unit. When the unit is turned	“On,” all four lights (Power, Service
Required, Low Oxygen, and Normal Oxygen) on the front panel will illuminate briefly. After a
few seconds, only the Power and Normal Oxygen lights will remain lit.
The OSD lights on the front panel are defined as follows:
• Green Normal Oxygen light–acceptable oxygen level.
• Yellow Low Oxygen light– below an acceptable oxygen level.
If the oxygen purity falls below the acceptable level, the green Normal Oxygen light will shut
off and the yellow Low Oxygen light will illuminate. Switch to your reserve oxygen system.
Refer to the Minor OSD Troubleshooting section in this guide on page 8 and contact your
Sunrise Medical/DeVilbiss provider.		Figure 6
As an added safety feature should the oxygen purity continue to drop, an intermittent audible
signal will sound. Contact your Sunrise Medical/DeVilbiss provider immediately. Do not
attempt any other maintenance.

NOTE– If the Service Required light illuminates and the audible signal alarms but the unit is not operating, there is no power to the unit. Refer to the Minor Troubleshooting chart on page 8 and contact your Sunrise Medical/DeVilbiss provider if necessary.

NOTE– If an audible low-frequency vibration sound is detected, the unit is not operating properly. Refer to the Minor Troubleshooting chart on page 8, and contact your Sunrise Medical/DeVilbiss provider if necessary.

2.Check the flow meter to make sure that the flow meter ball is centered on the line next to the prescribed number of your flow rate.

CAUTION– It is very important to follow your oxygen prescription. Do not increase or decrease the flow of oxygen– consult your physician.

NOTE– Your Sunrise Medical/DeVilbiss provider may have preset the flow meter so that it can not be adjusted.

NOTE– If the flow meter knob is turned clockwise, the flow decreases (and eventually will shut off the oxygen flow). If the knob is turned counterclockwise, the flow increases.

NOTE– The low-flow alarm will activate if the flow meter ball is set below .3 lpm. The unit will continue to run; however, the Service Required light will come on accompanied by an audible alarm. Adjust the flow meter to your prescribed flow.

3.Your DeVilbiss concentrator is now ready for use, properly position the cannula or mask (Figure 6). Allow 20 minutes for oxygen concentrator to reach stated performance.

RESERVE OXYGEN SYSTEM

As a precaution, your Sunrise Medical/DeVilbiss provider may supply you with a reserve oxygen system. If your unit loses electrical power or fails to operate correctly, the Patient Alert System will sound to signal you to switch to your reserve oxygen system (if provided) and contact your Sunrise Medical/DeVilbiss provider.
