Our goal is to make your new anesthesia machine as easy to use and care for as possible.
This device is meant to be operated under the normal surveillance and control of a
veterinarian trained in its use. However, you need to know more about this device than
just how to operate it.
Please read this manual in its entirety before using the anesthesia
machine.
If you have any comments or questions, we welcome the opportunity to address them.
Please contact us directly at 877–620–1500.
Thank you!

GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
Only persons who have read and understood this entire manual
should be allowed to operate the O2 concentrator
.
The WARNINGS below indicate a potential
hazardous situation. If conditions are not
avoided a situation could occur that results
in serious injury or death.
• Oxygen is not a ammable gas, but it
accelerates the combustion of materials. Do
not use in explosive atmosphere. To avoid risk
of re and explosion the concentrator should
be kept away from Flames, Heat sources,
Incandescent sources, Smoking Materials,
Matches, Oil, Grease, Solvents, Aerosols, etc.
• Use of other accessories not described in this
User's Guide are not recommended.
•
• No modication to the equipment is allowed.
• Device must have power to operate. In the
event of power loss and for continued op-
eration a backup source is recommended.
The CAUTIONS below indicate a potentially
hazardous situation. If conditions are not
avoided a situation could occur that results in
property damage or minor injury or both.
• Use the power cord provided, and check that
the electrical characteristics of the power
socket used match those indicated on the
manufacturer’s plate on the rear panel of
the device.
• We recommend against the use of extension
cords and adapters, as they are potential
sources of sparks and re.
• The concentrator has an audible alarm to
warn the user of problems. In order that the
alarm may be heard, the maximum distance
that the user can move away from it must
be determined to suit the surrounding noise
level.
• DO NOT disassemble due to danger of
electrical shock. Refer servicing to qualied service personnel.
• Do not use in a specifically magnetic
environment (MRI, X-ray, etc.). May cause
device malfunction.
• This unit may be equipped with a polarized
plug. That is one blade wider than the other.
If it does not t into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Do not defeat this
safety feature.

by persons authorized by the party in
question.
• Electrical installation of the corresponding
premises complies with local electrical
codes. (e.g. IEC / NEC).
• Device is used in accordance with the
instructions for use.
If the replacement parts used for the periodic
servicing by an approved technician do not
comply with the manufacturer’s specications,
the manufacturer is not responsible in the event
of an accident.

ashes until concentration is achieved.
IMPORTAINT!
Only the outside of the concentrator is to be
cleaned. Use a damp sponge or cloth with
water only.
Acetone, solvents or any other inammable
products must not be used.
Do not use abrasive powders.
FILTERS - IMPORTAINT!
Fine Filter (#1 g. 4.1)
and Cabinet Filter Cleaning (#2)
The cabinet lter (#2 Fig.4.1) must be cleaned
in warm water and household detergent weekly
or after approximately 100 hours of use. Dry
before reinstalling. More frequent cleaning is
recommended in dusty environments.

5.1. Accessories and spare parts
The accessories used with the O2 concentrator
must:
• be oxygen compatible.
• be biocompatible.
The connectors, tubes must be designed for
oxygen usage.

5.3. Operating principle
The compressor sends ltered room air to a
solenoid valve, which allows compressed air to
pass to the column in production. The columns
contain a molecular sieve, whose function is to
adsorb the nitrogen and thus allow oxygen to pass.
The oxygen enriched product is then directed
through a pressure reducing valve continuing
to the oxygen product outlet tting.
During this time, the column which is being
"regenerated" is connected to the ambient air
and ow of oxygen enriched product is passed
through it (from the column "in production"). In
this way, when one column is in production, the
other is in a nitrogen desorption or "regenera-
tion" phase. The oxygen enriched product nally
passes through a nal product lter located prior
to the oxygen outlet tting.
5.4. Alarms - Safety devices - Indications
5.4.1. Alarms
• No voltage detection
In the event of a loss of mains power, an intermittent audible alarm is activated and the green
light turns o. Test alarm by actuating the I/O
(ON/OFF) switch when the power cord is not
plugged into the wall outlet.
Page 9
• Process fault
5.4.3 Indicators (continued)
In the case of a process fault, a visible and audible alarm is activated (continuous red light or
lighted alarm and audible alarm).
• Oxygen Concentration
If the oxygen concentration level falls below the
required range the red light comes on and the
green light goes out. After a 15 minute delay
the audible alarm will sound.
5.4.2. Safety devices
• Compressor motor
Thermal safety is ensured by a thermal switch
situated in the motor winding (145 ± 5 oC).
• Electrical protection
A 5 amp circuit breaker is incorporated into the
front cabinet of all models.
• The red indicator warns of a process fault.
One event that can cause the red indicator
to be illuminated is low oxygen concentration. The low oxygen concentration red
indicator will light when oxygen concentration falls below a predetermined set
point. Another event that will cause the
red indicator to light is a blocked oxygen
ow. In this case the green indicator and
red indicator will be illuminated simultaneously.
Class II devices with insulated casings (EN606011 standard)
• Safety valve
This is tted on the compressor outlet and is
calibrated to 2.7 bar (40 psig).
5.4.3 Indicators
• The green indicator light (Fig.5.1) indicates
that power is applied to the device. When
rst turned on the indicator will ash until
correct oxygen concentration is achieved.
At that time the green indicator will remain
illuminated and the device is ready to provide
oxygen enriched air to the patient.

5. 5. OCSI (oxygen concentration status
indication module) function
5.5.1. Operating principle
5.5.4 Maintenance of the Device Alarms
No special maintenance is required. The alarm
set-point is factory set and the setting cannot be
adjusted. All models are set at 84%.
The oxygen monitor (Item 2 Fig 2.1) is an
electronic module capable of checking the
eective oxygen concentration supplied by
the concentrator.
The oxygen monitor measures the concentration and activates an audible and visual alarm if
it falls below the alarm set point percentage.
(Refer to Section 5.4 for information on the
operation of the indicators and alarms for the
OCSI function)
Yellow Indicator Green Indicator
The equipment supplier veries that the device
is still operating correctly when the routine
checks are performed.
