Operating With Humidifier
Following these steps if your physician prescribed an oxygen humidifier as part of your therapy:
1. Remove or unscrew the reservoir bottle from the humidifier (If you have a pre-filled
unit, do not perform this step. Proceed directly to step 4.)
2. Fill the reservoir with cool or cold water (distilled water is preferred) to the fill line indicated
on the bottle. DO NOT OVERFILL.
3. Screw the reservoir bottle back together. Figure 6
4. On the top of the humidifier, turn the thread nut counterclockwise while you connect the
humidifier to the oxygen outlet, and tighten securely (Figure 6).
5. Connect oxygen tubing from the nasal cannula, face mask, or other accessories to the
humidifier outlet fitting (Figure 7).
The use of certain humidifiers not specified for use with this oxygen concentrator may
