If you suspect that an oxygen delivery system has been damaged, contact your Service Representative IMMEDIATELY. Your Service Representative MUST handle all maintenance.
SAFETY SUMMARY WARNING (CONTINUED) the supplier and/or physician should be contacted IMMEDIATELY. No adjustments should be made to the flowrate unless prescribed by a physician. DO NOT attempt to alter the switches in the battery compartment. These switches are preset by your Home Health Care Dealer and control the breath delivery prescription. RISK OF FIRE: Oxygen does not burn. However, it will accelerate burning of flammable materials.
SAFETY SUMMARY WARNING (CONTINUED) DO NOT wear the Demand Oxygen Delivery Device under any clothing. OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Never attempt to lubricate the oxygen delivery system. DO NOT insert any object (except suitable AC/DC Adapter) in external power jack of Demand Oxygen Delivery Device. This may cause an electrical shock which could cause burns. DO NOT subject the Demand Oxygen Delivery Device to temperatures below -40°F (-40°C) or above 158°F (70°C). To do so could damage the electronics and battery.
SAFETY SUMMARY WARNING (CONTINUED) DO NOT use a humidifier with the Demand Oxygen Delivery Device. DO NOT expose the Demand Oxygen Delivery Device or system to water or any other liquids. RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE Most electronic equipment is influenced by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). CAUTION should be exercised with regard to the use of portable communications equipment in the area around such equipment. PART NO.

Store the repackaged equipment in a dry area. 3.
INTRODUCTION INVACARE VENTURE DEMAND OXYGEN DELIVERY DEVICE Ordinary oxygen supply units deliver oxygen continuously. The normal breathing pattern is to inhale about one-third of the time, and exhale two-thirds of the time. This means that continuous flow units may be inefficient during user exhalation. In contrast, the Venture Demand Oxygen Delivery Device (Venture DODD) senses your inhalation and instantly releases a programmed pulse of oxygen at a specified flowrate at the beginning of inhalation.
FEATURES VENTURE DEMAND OXYGEN DELIVERY DEVICE COMPONENTS AND DEFINITION OF TERMS (FIGURE 1) ON/OFF Buttons - Determines flow selection method. The ON button turns Power ON for normal pulse operation ( ) and the OFF button disengages the electronics for continuous flow operation ( ). NOTE: The OFF button does NOT stop flow delivery and is NOT recommended for unit shutdown. See SETUP AND NORMAL PULSE OPERATION in the OPERATION Section of this manual.

OPERATION THE USE OF OXYGEN The type of oxygen administrating equipment to be used, as well as the flowrate and time of usage, must be prescribed by a physician. Your physician should verify your Venture DODD flowrate prescription. WARNING If at anytime the attendant or the end user concludes that an insufficient amount of oxygen is being received, the supplier and/or physician should be contacted immediately. No adjustments should be made to the flowrate unless prescribed by a physician.
OPERATION 3. If using an oxygen cylinder, check that the regulator is properly attached before opening the cylinder valve. 4. Connect the Venture DODD to the regulator by performing one (1) of the following: A. If using an Oxygen Cylinder and Regulator: On a 20 psig regulator, connect the tubing (supplied with the Venture DODD) from the barb fitting of the regulator to the barb inlet fitting on the Venture DODD.
OPERATION 6. Set the prescribed flow rate on the oxygen source by performing one (1) of the following: A. If using an Oxygen Cylinder and Regulator: OPEN cylinder valve and adjust regulator to prescribed flow rate. B. If using a Liquid Oxygen Reservoir: Set flow control knob on reservoir to prescribed flowrate. 7. Press the ON button to engage pulse mode. The unit will pulse each time the user inhales, the GREEN PULSE LED will blink with each oxygen pulse delivery. 8.
OPERATION NOTE: Whenever the pulse mode is used, the battery is monitored. If the SECOND BATT. LED illuminates, either replace the battery or switch to continuous mode if oxygen supply is adequate. When in continuous mode, the battery is NOT used. NOTE: When in the continuous flow mode, the oxygen supply will be used considerably faster then in the pulse mode. If using a portable oxygen supply, make plans for an alternative source of oxygen. Replace the battery as soon as possible. 9.
MAINTENANCE PROLONGING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY The Venture DODD battery is powered by a single D-cell battery. The Alkaline battery type is recommended for longest life. NOTE: The Alkaline battery should last for approximately 80 hours with normal use, but will last even longer if you follow this procedure: 1. Use the battery to its fullest capacity prior to replacing. This is accomplished by running the unit from the battery until it stops working (approximately 15 to 30 minutes after the SECOND BATT.
MAINTENANCE CARE OF YOUR VENTURE DEMAND OXYGEN DELIVERY DEVICE AND SYSTEM CLEANING THE OUTER CASE WARNING DO NOT submerge in water to clean. DO NOT open outer case. If outer case is removed by anyone EXCEPT an Invacare Dealer the warranty will be voided. CAUTION Use no oil. Never apply waxes, polishes, or other similar compounds to any surface of the Venture Demand Oxygen Delivery Device, as these compounds may be flammable. Clean outer case with damp cloth.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTIONS O2 LED - (GREEN) Blinking. Indicates Oxygen Pulse Flow in normal pulse delivery. This is normal operation. O2 LED - (GREEN) Indicates Venture DODD not sensing presence of oxygen in pulse delivery. Turn unit OFF, check cylinder pressure is above refill limit (500 psig) and post valve is open, check regulator is set to correct flowrate.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTIONS LED - (RED) Solid, Continuous Beep. Possible internal sensor problem. End user possibly not receiving oxygen. Turn unit off then on again. If problem still exists, call your Home Health Care Dealer or Service Representative IMMEDIATELY and go to continuous mode if oxygen supply is adequate. No lights illuminate or RED and YELLOW LEDs on together. Electronic failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTIONS External input will not power device (Cont.). Incorrect power adapter. Check that power adapter used within specification for operating voltage of external power supply. Call your Home Health Care Dealer or Service Representative IMMEDIATELY. "Low" battery light comes on too soon after battery replacement. Battery life expired. Check battery manufacturer's expiration date.
