1. Introduction
This user manual serves as a reference for users of the X-PLOR and should be read in its
entirety before operating the X-PLOR. The term “POC” (Portable Oxygen Concentrator)
may be used to refer to the X-PLOR. “Patient” and “User” are used interchangeably.
X-PLOR enables patients who need a POC to be treated at home according to a
clinician’s prescription.
Before using the X-PLOR for the first time, make sure the battery is fully charged.
This can take up to 6 hours for the 8-cell battery. The battery must be charged and
connected to the X-PLOR in order to operate the POC.
Please refer to the X-PLOR manual for detailed information regarding any warnings,
cautions, specifications, and additional information. We hope the manual answers all of
your questions, but if you still have questions, please call your equipment provider.
INDICATION FOR USE
The X-PLOR is a small, portable, software-monitored oxygen delivery system for patients
with acute or chronic respiratory disorders and whose physicians have prescribed
concentrated oxygen (typically 82% to 96% by volume) in order to enhance their blood
oxygen saturation (as measured by pulse oximetry). It may be used as needed or
continuously in home, institutional, travel, or mobile environments.
INTENDED USE
X-PLOR delivers concentrated oxygen in pulse mode by responding to the patient’s
inhalations. It is a portable, prescription-only device, and is designed for indoor and
outdoor use. The prescribed oxygen delivery setting should be reassessed periodically
by a healthcare provider.
INTENDED LIFE
The expected service life for the X-PLOR is 5 years. The service life of the replaceable
cartridge will depend on operating conditions. Replace the cartridge as needed, when
indicated by the alarm message (For more information on the Replaceable Cartridge
see Chapter 5). The battery has an expected life of 500 full charge/discharge cycles.

3. Operating the X-PLOR
The X-PLOR is a pulse mode POC.
Normal Pulse Dose Mode:
Pulse dose is designed to work with a patient’s inhaling and exhaling patterns. It senses
a change in air pressure and releases a pulse of air, also known as a bolus, through a
nasal cannula. Once a breath is detected, a breath icon will appear in the upper left
corner of the LCD screen. This icon will appear each time a breath is detected and a
pulse of oxygen is delivered. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to set the oxygen flow level (1-4).
No Breath Detected Mode:
If the X-PLOR does not detect a breath from the user for 45 seconds, a No Breath Detect
alarm icon will display and an alarm (beep) will sound. After another 45 seconds if a new
breath is not detected, the X-PLOR will go into No Breath Detected Mode [Auto pulse 15
breaths per minute (BPM) at current setting] until unit detects another breath.

displayed on the screen. Then release the cannula, allowing the bolus of
oxygen to release. Repeat the process several times to verify the flow of oxygen.
Positioning the nasal cannula on your face:
1. Position the nasal cannula with the nasal prongs facing upward and curved toward
the face.
2. Insert the two nasal prongs into the nostrils.
3. Wrap the headset loop up and over both ears or for alternative placement: Secure
headset loop behind your head.
4. Glide the bolo up under your chin.
5. Leave enough space to fit at least two fingers between the
bolo and chin.
6. Once the cannula is secured, breathe normally through your
nose. X-PLOR will detect a breath and deliver the oxygen
during inhalation.

NOTIFICATIONS
The X-PLOR has only one type of alarm (an icon on the display combined with an audible
tone): that arises when monitored equipment functions indicate that the user’s attention
is required. Alarm notifications are audible at levels ranging from 65 dB(A) to 85 dB(A),
depending on the equipment condition and the user’s position. The maximum distance
that the user can move away from the POC is determined by the surrounding noise level.
ALARMS
X-PLOR monitors various parameters during operation and utilizes an intelligent alarm
system to indicate a malfunction of the POC. Mathematical algorithms and time delays are
used to reduce the probability of false alarms while still ensuring proper notification of an
alarm condition. All alarms are classified as Low Priority technical alarm condition.
The following alarm messages are accompanied by a sound and a yellow . If the
suggested procedures does not clear the alarm condition, switch to a backup source of
oxygen and contact your equipment provider.
