Owner’s Manual - Oxygen Therapy Door Chapter 1 - General Information Introduction The SSCI Oxygen Therapy Door transforms your standard Regal cage into an oxygen therapy chamber. The clear door features a continuous-flow nebulizer with .25 in (.635 cm) inner diameter x .062 in (.16 cm) thick tubing to deliver a regulated flow of medicated, moist oxygen. A thermometer/hygrometer mounted on the door monitors cage temperature and humidity for optimal treatment.

Owner’s Manual - Oxygen Therapy Door Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel Introduction Stainless steel is steel alloyed with chromium to make it highly resistant to stain, rust and corrosion. Note: This does NOT mean that stainless steel will never rust or corrode. Science has not yet developed a steel which is completely stainless or corrosion PROOF. The type of stainless steel and finish selected by SSCI for the Oxygen Therapy Door is the best available for the intended use.
Chapter 1 - General Information Deodorizing Agents, Disinfectants and Sanitizers The large selection of brands and combinations of chemicals available for deodorizing, disinfecting and sanitizing is staggering. Select one or more agents for use in your facility only after weighing all the benefits claimed by each product.

Owner’s Manual - Oxygen Therapy Door There is no oxygen flow into the cage. Remedial Action First: Make sure that the oxygen supply is turned on at the source and that your oxygen supply tank is not empty. Second: Make sure the oxygen therapy door is properly closed and latched and not allowing oxygen to escape. Third: Make sure the nebulizer bottle is in place and fully tightened. Fourth: Check the regulator on the nebulizer to make sure it is properly adjusted.
Chapter 5 - Troubleshooting There is excessive oxygen leakage from the cage. Remedial Action Note: Some oxygen leakage is normal.
