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: 50°F - 95°F (10°C - 35°C) Electrical: No extension cords. Placement: No closer than three inches from the wall, furniture, draperies, or similar surfaces. Tubing and Cannula: 7 ft cannula with a maximum 50 ft of Crush-Proof Tubing (DO NOT pinch). Environment: Smoke and soot-free. No confined spaces (Example: No closets). Relative Humidity: 20 to 60% Time of Operation: Up to 24 hours per day.
SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Connect Humidifier (If So Prescribed) WARNING For optimum performance, Invacare recommends that each concentrator be on and running for a minimum of 30 minutes at a time. Shorter periods of operation may reduce maximum product life. DO NOT overfill humidifier. DO NOT reverse the oxygen input and output connections. Water from the humidifier bottle will travel through the cannula back to the patient. NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.1, FIGURE 5.
SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FIGURE 5.2 Humidifer Bottle Adapter 5. Attach the humidifier bottle adapter to the humidifier bottle by turning the wing nut on the humidifier bottle counterclockwise until it is securely fastened. See Detail “A” in FIGURE 5.3. 6. Place the humidifier bottle/adapter assembly in the humidifier compartment on the concentrator. See Detail “B” in FIGURE 5.3. 7. Attach oxygen tubing from the humidifier bottle/adapter assembly to oxygen outlet connector on the concentrator.
SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FIGURE 5.
SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Power Switch NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.4. 1. Press power switch to on position. All the panel lights and the audible alarm will come on for one second, indicating that the unit is functioning properly. After one second, only the GREEN system ok/power light will stay on. FIGURE 5.4 Power Switch Flowrate NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.5 on page 22. 1. Turn the flowrate knob to the setting prescribed by your physician or therapist.
SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 2. If the flowrate on the flowmeter ever falls below 0.5 L/min for Perfecto2 5 for more than about one minute, the LOW FLOW alarm will be triggered. This is a rapid beeping of the audible alarm. Check your tubing or accessories for blocked or kinked tubing or a defective humidifier bottle. After rated flow is restored, more than 0.5 L/min for Perfecto2 5 , the LOW FLOW audible alarm will go off.
SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Initial Startup of the Concentrator NOTE: Concentrator may be used during the initial start warm-up time (approximately 30 min.) while waiting for the O2 purity to reach maximum. When the unit is turned on, the GREEN light will come on (SYSTEM OK/O2 greater than 85%). After five minutes, the oxygen sensor will be operating normally and will control the indicator lights depending on oxygen concentration values.
SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Indicators (If Your Unit Does Not Feature the O2 Sensor) NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.7. IRC5P Model Indicator Light Explanation RED light ( ) - Total Unit Shut-Down. Switch IMMEDIATELY to a back-up oxygen supply. Call supplier IMMEDIATELY. GREEN light (I/O) - On/Off. System okay.
