SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Introduction Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use in the home. It is an electronically operated device that separates oxygen from room air. It provides high concentration of oxygen directly to you through a nasal cannula. Clinical studies have documented that oxygen concentrators are therapeutically equivalent to other types of oxygen delivery systems. Your provider will show you how to use your oxygen concentrator.
SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Recommended Guidelines for Optimum Performance Temperature: (10°C - 35°C) 50°F - 95°F Electrical: No extension cords.
