8 MN166-1 rev B
The Manufacturer recommends an alternate source of supplemental oxygen in the event of a power outage, alarm condition,
or mechanical failure. Consult your physician or Equipment Provider for the type of reserve system required.
It is very important to select only the prescribed level of oxygen. Do not change the flow selection unless you have
been directed to do so by a licensed clinician.
The portable Oxygen Concentrator may be used during sleep under the recommendation of a qualified clinician.
If the Oxygen Concentrator has been stored for an extended period of time outside its normal operating temperature range,
the unit should be allowed to return to normal operating temperature before being turned on. (Refer to the Specifications
section in this manual.)
Operating or storing the Oxygen Concentrator outside of its normal operating temperature range can affect performance and
decrease battery run time and/or increase battery charge time. Refer to the Specifications section in this manual for storage
and operating temperature limits.
For oxygen concentrators equipped with batteries: Store in a cool and dry location to help ensure the longevity of your
battery. Storing your Oxygen Concentrator for extended periods of time at high temperatures or with a fully charged or
completely discharged battery can degrade its overall battery life. Do not attempt to open the battery; there are no
serviceable parts inside the battery. Keep batteries away from children.
ONLY USE the Manufacturer’s provided batteries. For proper battery disposal, contact your Equipment Provider or your local
government agency for disposal requirements.
In the event of an alarm or you observe the Oxygen Concentrator is not working properly; consult the Troubleshooting
section in this manual. If you cannot resolve the problem, consult your Equipment Provider.
Do not attempt any maintenance other than the possible solutions listed within this manual. DO NOT remove covers, only
your Equipment Provider or a qualified service technician should remove the covers or service this device.
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) and United Nations (UN) Regulations require the removal of the battery from
the device for all international airline travel when the oxygen concentrator is checked as luggage. When shipping the oxygen
concentrator, the battery must also be removed from the device and packaged properly.
Ensure the cannula is fully inserted and secure. This ensures that the Oxygen Concentrator can properly detect inspiration
for oxygen delivery. During inhalation, you should hear or feel oxygen flow to the prongs of the nasal cannula.
Always follow the cannula manufacturer’s instructions for proper use. Replace the disposable cannula as recommended by
the cannula manufacturer or your Equipment Provider. Additional supplies are available from your Equipment Provider.
Cannula tubing must be non-kinking, which can be used for a total length of up to 25 ft (7.6 m) maximum
