SPECIAL NOTES Disposal Instructions This device and its packaging contain no hazardous materials. No special precautions need to be taken when disposing the device and/or it’s packaging. Principles of Operation The oxygen conserving regulator is designed to be used with high pressure oxygen systems. It consists of a cylinder connection, cylinder contents gauge (if equipped), high to low pressure regulator, orifice plate and a conserving demand module.
SPECIAL NOTES DANGER DO NOT SMOKE while using this device. Keep all matches, lit cigarettes or other sources of ignition out of the room in which this product is located and away from where oxygen is being delivered. NO SMOKING signs should be prominently displayed. Textiles and other materials that normally would not burn are easily ignited and burn with great intensity in oxygen enriched air.
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The oxygen conserving regulator includes a combination of low‐pressure regulator and an oxygen conserver, designed for use with a cylinder as an ambulatory oxygen system. It is capable of delivering a precise amount of supplemental oxygen at the optimal point in the breathing cycle. The conserver greatly increases the efficiency in the delivery of oxygen, maximizing the beneficial effects and eliminating unnecessary oxygen waste.
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES When using the oxygen conserving regulator, basic precautions should ALWAYS be followed, including the following: WARNING SECTION 1 ‐ GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product.
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES DO NOT attempt to repair product. DO NOT immerse product in any kind of liquid. Store product in a clean area when not in use. NEVER smoke in an area where oxygen is being administered. NEVER use aerosol sprays near the equipment. ALWAYS confirm prescribed dose before administering to patient and monitor on a frequent basis. DO NOT use if dirt or contaminants are present on or around cylinder, valve, product or connecting devices.
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES DO NOT allow cylinders to tip or fall. Secure gas cylinders so they cannot fall. Ensure cylinder is always in upright position. DO NOT allow oil from your hands or other sources to come into contact with the cylinder post valve. These substances may become flammable in the presence of oxygen and cause injury. Avoid touching the cylinder post valve whenever possible.
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES DO NOT place the unit under such items as blankets, bed coverings, chair cushions, clothing and away from heated or hot surfaces, including space heaters, stoves and similar electrical appliances. When this product is in use a small amount of oxygen is vented. With regards to clothing ‐ wearing the unit under clothing may saturate fabrics with oxygen and cause them to burn rapidly if exposed to sparks or flame.

SECTION 3—INSTALLING THE CONSERVING REGULATOR SECTION 3—INSTALLING THE CONSERVING REGULATOR WARNING DO NOT allow oil from your hands or other sources to come into contact with the regulator gasket or cylinder post valve. These substances may become flammable in the presence of oxygen and cause injury. Avoid touching the cylinder post valve whenever possible. Example of items to avoid are hand creams or lotions, cooking oils, suntan oils or sun blocks and similar oily products.
SECTION 3—INSTALLING THE CONSERVING REGULATOR NOTE: For information on how to operate the cylinder, consult your equipment provider. NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 3.1. 1. Loosen the cylinder post valve T‐Handle. 2. Lower the conserver over any CGA870 post valve cylinder with the alignment pins toward the holes on the cylinder neck. 3. Align the two pins and gasket with the FIGURE 3.1 Attaching the corresponding holes on IOC100P to the Cylinder the cylinder post valve.
SECTION 4—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SECTION 4—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DANGER NEVER smoke in an area where oxygen is being administered. NEVER use near any type of flame or flammable/explosive substances, vapors or atmosphere. CAUTION DO NOT use pediatric, low flow nasal cannulas or oxygen masks with the oxygen conserving regulator. DO NOT block the cannula connection or kink cannula tubing when the oxygen conserving regulator is in use. This may damage the oxygen conserving regulator. 1.
SECTION 4—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4. Listen for leaks. If a leak is present, close the cylinder valve, check the CGA870 seal washer, and reinstall. If the leak persists, DO NOT use the equipment. Contact your Home Care Provider for repair. 5. Check the oxygen pressure gauge to verify the cylinder pressure. 6. Ensure that the vent hole on the side of the unit is not obstructed. 7. Position the cylinder so the oxygen cylinder valve outlet is pointing away from the user and any other person(s). 8.
SECTION 4—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING NO OXYGEN is delivered in between settings. To obtain desired flow, the indicating pointer MUST align with a specific number on the dial. To avoid injury to patient, ALWAYS confirm prescribed setting before administering to patient and monitor flow on a frequent basis. 10. Turn the selector switch until indicating pointer is aligned with the prescribed setting. FIGURE 4.2 on page 21. NOTE: The continuous flow setting (CF) is designed for emergency use only.
SECTION 4—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 12. When finished using the system, close the oxygen supply cylinder valve and continue breathing through the nasal cannula until no further oxygen flow is detected. 13. Remove the nasal cannula and turn the selector switch to the “0” OFF position. 14. When not in use, store in a clean, dry location. Continuous Flow Setting (CF) Selector Switch FIGURE 4.
SECTION 5—REMOVING THE CONSERVING REGULATOR SECTION 5—REMOVING THE CONSERVING REGULATOR DANGER NEVER attempt to remove the oxygen conserving regulator from an oxygen cylinder unless the cylinder valve is completely closed. CAUTION DO NOT try to loosen the T‐handle beyond the stop. Otherwise, damage to the oxygen conserving regulator will occur. NOTE: For information on how to operate the cylinder, consult your equipment provider. 1. Completely close the oxygen cylinder valve. 2.
