SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Platinum ™ Series 20 Part No 1118353
Flowrate
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.6 on page 20.
1. Turn the flowrate knob to the setting prescribed by your
physician or therapist.
CAUTION
Never set the flow greater than 5 L/min on the IRC5.
Never set the flow greater than 10L/min on the IRC10.
ƽ WARNING
DO NOT change the L/min setting on the flowmeter unless a
change has been prescribed by your physician or therapist.
NOTE: To properly read the flowmeter, locate the prescribed flowrate
line on the flowmeter. Next, turn the flow knob until the ball rises to
the line. Now, center the ball on the L/min. line prescribed.
2. If the flowrate on the flowmeter ever falls below 0.5 L/min
for Platinum 5 (1 L/min for Platinum 10) for more than
about one minute, the LOW FLOW alarm will be
triggered. This is a rapid beeping of the audible alarm.
Check your tubing or accessories for blocked or kinked
tubing or a defective humidifier bottle. After rated flow is
restored, more than 0.5 L/min for Platinum 5 (1 L/min for
Platinum 10), the LOW FLOW audible alarm will go off.
NOTE: The use of some accessories such as the pediatric flowstand
and the HomeFill compressor will deactivate the Low Flow Alarm.
