If the alarm is weak or does not sound at all, consult your Equipment Provider immediately.
Position the unit away from curtains or drapes, hot air registers or heaters. Be certain to place the unit on a
flat surface and make sure all sides are at least 1 foot (30 cm) away from a wall or other obstruction. Do
not place the unit in a confined area. Choose a dust and smoke free-location away from direct sunlight. Do
not operate the unit outdoors unless the unit is plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI )
protected outlet.
If the humidifier bottle tubing is not properly connected to the humidifier bottle fitting or the oxygen outlet,
an oxygen leak can occur.
Normally, you should not need to adjust the flowmeter on your unit. If you turn the flowmeter adjustment
knob clockwise, you will decrease and can shut off the flow of oxygen from your unit. For your
convenience, the flowmeter is marked in ½ lpm increments from 1 to 5 lpm. For units with the pediatric
flowmeter option, the flowmeter is marked in 1/8 lpm increments for flow settings up to 2 lpm.
To prevent a voided AirSep warranty, follow all manufacturers¶ instructions.
