SECTION 6—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SECTION 6—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Introduction Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use. 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.
SECTION 6—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Your oxygen concentrator will perform best when operated under the conditions outlined in the Typical Product Parameters on page 13. 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. Set Up 1. Plug in power cord to an electrical outlet. 2. Connect Humidifier (if so prescribed).
SECTION 6—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3. Insert a flathead screwdriver in the plate groove on the top edge of the filter access door and gently pry the filter access door off (FIGURE 6.2). 4. Pull up and remove the humidifier bottle adapter (FIGURE 6.2). 5. Replace the filter access door and install the air scoop onto the filter access door by inserting the six tabs on the air scoop into the six slots on the sides of the filter access door.
SECTION 6—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 10. After assembly, ensure that oxygen is flowing through the cannula.
