GENERAL INFORMATION This manual provides information necessary to operate the BONSAI® VELOCITY pneumatic conserver with built-in regulator. The BONSAI® VELOCITY conserver can be used with any CGA 870 post-valve cylinder [see Fig. A] at home or away from home to provide your specific oxygen requirements. Statements in this manual preceded by the following words are of special significance: WARNING! Indicates there is a possibility of injury to you or others.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES & PRECAUTIONS WARNING! • Read and understand this manual before operating your BONSAI® VELOCITY pneumatic oxygen conserver. • This device is not intended for use during sleep or by patients who: - Breathe more than 40 breaths per minute, - Consistently fail to trigger equipment (e.g., mouth breathers). Smoking near oxygen equipment is strictly prohibited.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES & PRECAUTIONS CAUTION: • Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. • Prevent water or other liquid substances from entering the unit. • Prevent dust or any small particles from entering the unit. • Do not expose the unit to extreme temperatures. • Always maintain a backup supply of oxygen. • Do not use humidifier bottles. • Do not use if leaking or damaged. • Refer repairs to authorized service personnel.
INTRODUCTION The BONSAI® VELOCITY pneumatic oxygen conserver includes a combination of a lowpressure regulator and an oxygen conserver. It is designed for use with a cylinder as an ambulatory oxygen system and is capable of delivering a precise amount of supplemental oxygen at the optimal point in the breathing cycle. The BONSAI® VELOCITY conserver greatly increases the efficiency in the delivery of oxygen, maximizing the beneficial effects and eliminating unnecessary oxygen waste.
DESCRIPTION OF PARTS & CONTROLS • Cylinder Adjustment Knob: This is used to attach the unit to any CGA 870 post-valve cylinder. • Oxygen Pressure Gauge : Enables the user to monitor the contents of the compressed oxygen cylinder and is protected by a rubber guard. The BONSAI® VELOCITY conserver is equipped with a gauge that reads up to 4,000 PSI. Cylinder Adjustment Knob • Selector Switch: Enables the user to select the desired setting, as well as “OFF” and “cf 2” or “cf 4” (continuous flow).
DESCRIPTION OF PARTS & CONTROLS • CF Setting: Enables the user to switch from pulse mode (oxygen delivery on demand) to continuous flow mode in the unlikely event of unit malfunction. The CF setting is designed for emergency use only [see Fig C]. [There are two CF Settings; 2 LPM and 4 LPM] * NOTE: Remember that in continuous flow mode, the oxygen will be consumed at a much faster rate. Return to another source before depleting the oxygen cylinder.
ASSEMBLY AND USE • Make certain that your hands are free of oil, grease, and other contaminants. • Inspect the unit to ensure that it has the appropriate viton (or equivalent) seal washer (gasket), in good working condition, attached to the inlet nozzle. • Secure the cylinder in an upright position. • Inspect the valve of the cylinder and the BONSAI® VELOCITY conserver to ensure they are free of contaminants.
ASSEMBLY AND USE INSTALLING THE SYSTEM: STEP 1: Loosen the cylinder adjustment knob. STEP 2: Lower the BONSAI® VELOCITY conserver over any post-valve cylinder with the alignment pins toward the holes on the cylinder neck [see Fig. F]. STEP 3: Line-up the two pins and the seal washer (gasket) with the corresponding holes on the cylinder post valve. * NOTE: The cylinder adjustment knob should be aligned with the indentation on the post valve.
ASSEMBLY AND USE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: STEP 1: Make sure that the BONSAI® VELOCITY conserver is set to the “OFF” position before opening the cylinder valve. STEP 2: To reduce the risk of rapid oxygen recompression and fire, open the cylinder valve slowly and completely so the pressure gauge moves slowly as it indicates the cylinder pressure. STEP 3: Listen for leaks. If a leak is present, close the cylinder valve, check the CGA seal, and reinstall. If the leak persists, DO NOT USE THE EQUIPMENT.
OXYGEN CYLINDER DURATION Because the total delivery of oxygen via the BONSAI® VELOCITY conserver is related to breathing rates, it is user adaptive in that the total oxygen delivered per minute will automatically adjust with user need, as expressed by increased or decreased breathing rates. For example, at all settings, twice as much oxygen per minute will be delivered if one breathes twenty (20) times per minute as compared with ten (10) times per minute. Please refer to the table below as a guide.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE The BONSAI® VELOCITY conserver is designed for a long and accurate life; however, as with any pneumatic device, normal prudent care is required. The unit should be kept clean and free from moisture and dust, as well as extreme temperature. Do not expose the unit to water, such as when bathing or swimming. It is advisable to keep the system in its carrying bag to afford a degree of protection. Clean the outside of the unit periodically with a clean, lint-free cloth.
