Low Oxygen Purity
This alarm can be triggered when the oxygen purity falls below 82%.
This can occur if you are breathing at a high breath rate that exceeds
the oxygen production capacity of the device or if the device requires
sieve bed replacement. Take slow deep breaths until your breath rate
recovers.This allows the device time to restore purity levels. If the alarm
stops, the device is safe to use. If the alarm persists for an extended
period of time after you have recovered your breath, change to another
source of oxygen and contact your equipment provider.
No Breath Detected
This alarm can be triggered by a kinked cannula, unattached cannula
or shallow and/or mouth breathing. Check the cannula connection and
hose for kinks and fix if found. If the cannula was not impaired and is also
attached properly, the alarm could be caused by shallow and/or mouth
breathing. Breathe deeply through your nasal cannula and the alarm
should stop. If the alarm persists, switch to another source of oxygen and
contact your equipment provider.
High Temperature
This alarm is triggered when the internal temperature of the device
exceeds 140°F (63°C). When this alarm is activated, the device will
power off and the audible alarm will cease. The red Alarm Indicator and
the alarm title remain until the device sufficiently cools. Move the device
away from any potential heat source and change to another source of
