INTRODUCTION

Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use in the home. 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.

He/She should be contacted with any questions or problems regarding

your oxygen concentrator. This owners manual will tell you about your

concentrator and will serve as a reference as you use your concentrator.
