Do not place the cannula into nasal passages until the POC is fully powered on. Breathing through the Cannula during start-up may prevent the system from powering on. Control Panel: All user controls are located on this panel.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The LifeChoice Activox POC is recommended and designed to be operated and stored in its carry case at all times. To configure the carry case as a backpack, please reference the Carry Case Configuration Instructions. Follow these steps before first use: 1. Charge the POC before initial use. The Pro Model can take up to 4.5 hours to fully charge and the Sport Model can take up to 3 hours. Begin charging by connecting the AC Adapter to the unit and charger end to an electrical outlet. 2.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS continued 2. AC Adapter/Charger: An AC Adapter/Charger allows the POC to be powered from a standard 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz outlet. When the unit is operated from an AC Adapter/Charger, power from the AC outlet powers the unit and recharges the internal and/or External Battery. (See Battery Charging section for details.) Using an AC Adapter/Charger that is not specified by Inova Labs with the POC may damage the unit and will void all warranties. 3.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS continued 3. It can take a fully discharged Internal Battery up to 4.5 hours with the Pro Model or 3 hours with the Sport Model to reach a 100 percent charge level. Press the Battery Check button to check the charging process. 4. When the Internal Battery is fully charged, the INT Battery Check LED will turn off. NOTE: The charge indicator will show 4 solid green lights when the battery has a charge level of 96 percent or more.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS continued 4. When the External Battery is fully charged, the EXT Battery Check LED will turn off. NOTE: The charge indicator will show 4 solid green lights when the battery has a charge level of 96 percent or more. When the battery reaches a full 100 percent charge, the EXT LED will turn off.
Carry Case Configuration Instructions Backpack 1. Adjust each strap to make sure they are the same length. 2. Unfold the snaps that are tucked into the mesh pocket on the backside of the Carry Case. 3. Attach one strap to the top left and bottom right snaps on the Carry Case making sure the shoulder pad is near the top clip. 4. Attach the second strap to the top right and bottom left snaps on the Carry Case making sure the shoulder strap is near the top clip. 5.
OPERATING PROCEDURE 1. Locate and position the POC so that the Fan Inlet Vent and Fan Outlet Vent are not obstructed. The unit, particularly the air inlet slots and the air outlet areas, should be positioned in a well-ventilated space. 2. Power the POC using one of the four modes described in the Powering the LifeChoice Activox POC section. 3. Press the Power Button once to turn the unit on.
5. Select a Pulse Setting of 1, 2, or 3 as prescribed by your doctor. The device utilizes PULSE-WAVE™ Delivery which delivers oxygen congruent with your inhalation rate. Because this type of delivery is very gentle, you may not feel the pulse of oxygen. To verify that oxygen is being delivered, reference the LED above your selected Pulse Setting. This LED will flash every time a breath is detected and a bolus of oxygen is delivered. 6. Place the nasal cannula in the nasal passages and breathe normally.
LIGHT INDICATORS/ALARMS NORMAL OPERATION INDICATORS Normal Operation Audible Alert POC turned on Brief audible tone Light Indication Green LEDs of Power, Active-High and Pulse Setting 1 are illuminated.
Alarm Indicators Problem No breath detected by the unit for approximately 75 seconds Audible Alert Light Indication Action Amber Alarm LED light flashes Check cannula connection. Breathe through nose and alarm will shut off. If alarm persists, contact your provider.
