Sprint / Stroller / Hi Flow Stroller
Introduction
The Sprint, Stroller, and Hi Flow Stroller are in-
tended for the administration of supplemental oxy-
gen to the patient in the end user’s home and can
also be used in institutions such as nursing homes
or sub-acute care facilities. The Sprint/Stroller/
Hi Flow Stroller provide an ambulatory source of
oxygen for an extended period of time.
The device is used by COPD patients or those
with diminished breathing capacity. The device is
prescribed to the patient. The device is sold to a
provider that is trained to operate and service the
Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller. The provider trains
the user.
The device is not intended for life support nor does
it provide any patient monitoring capabilities. It
is recommended to have an alternate source of
supplemental oxygen in the event of mechani-
cal failure. These portable devices also have a
quick disconnect valve that can be coupled with
a reservoir lox device for translling the portable
device. The reservoir unit is lled by your health
care provider.
This user manual contains the instructions for using
the Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller. Refer to the
user manual supplied with the stationary unit for its
operation.

2. Make sure the ow control knobs on both the
Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller and reservoir are
in the off (0) position
3. Make the Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller ll con-
nector is in the upright position to the stationary
connector.
4. Rotate the Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller coun-
terclockwise ( ) until you feel the pin and slot
engage.
5. Carefully and rmly rotate the Sprint/Stroller/Hi
Flow Stroller back to the upright position. Now

NOTE: Continued on step 6.
NOTE: For push-on style connector, hold the unit in
place throughout the fill.
6. Open the vent valve to begin lling your Sprint/
Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller. You should hear some
oxygen escaping; do not worry. The hissing sound
you hear is perfectly normal.
NOTE: Liquid level gauge readings are most accurate
30 seconds or more after the Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow
Stroller is filled.
7. You may also see vapor around the connection.
This is normal and is due to the great difference
in temperature between the liquid oxygen and the
warm air surrounding the units.
8. When the unit is full, close the vent valve. You
can tell that the unit is full when the hissing sound
changes in tone, and some liquid comes out of the
vent line.
NOTE: Closing the valve after a nearly continuous
stream of liquid is discharging fills the Sprint/Stroller/
Hi Flow Stroller most completely, but wastes some
liquid oxygen.
NOTE: Closing the valve at the first sign of liquid
discharge does not fill the Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow
Stroller as completely, but saves liquid oxygen.
9. For the push-on style connectors, push the re-
lease button down until the units separate. For all
other connectors rotate the unit until it separates
from the stationary unit.

completely before replacing it in the cup.
NOTE: If heavily soiled, the pad can be machine
washed (with bleach to disinfect).
• To replace, simply insert pad into bottom
cover and rezip the bottom zipper.
NOTE: If the knob will not push in and engage the
cup, hold the cup and pull the knob out until it clicks
into the open position. Now replace the cup as previ-
ously described.
Frost Reduction
Under certain environmental conditions, with
continuous use, and especially with the portable
not being moved, it may develop excessive frost
around the vaporizer coil and on the case. You may
reduce this frost by tapping the unit and/or wiping
any accumulated frost off the case.
WARNING: DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF
EXCESSIVE MOISTURE / ICE BUILD UP IT
IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE HI FLOW
STROLLER REMAIN IDLE FOR 1 HOUR
AFTER USE TO DECREASE MOISTURE
BUILDUP.
Due to the higher ow rates associated with the Hi
Flow Stroller, condensation and some frosting will
occur on the unit, particularly on ow settings of
10 LPM and higher. It is recommended that the unit
be allowed at least 1 hour of inactivity after use to
decrease the possibility of excessive build up due to
continuous usage.

Sprint / Stroller / Hi Flow Stroller
Troubleshooting
The following information is intended to help you troubleshoot and solve simple operational problems that
you may experience when using your Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller.
Issue Solution
The Portable makes a
hissing sound.
• Hissing can occur to maintain the correct operating pressure within the Portable.
It is most likely to hiss after filling or when the position of the Portable is
changed. Hissing can last for approximately 10 minutes after filling. Additionally,
it can occur when the flow control valve is at a low setting.
• If the portable has been laid in an improper position return the portable to an
upright position and allow several minutes for the unit to stabilize
The Portable flow stops
during use.
• Ensure that the cannula is firmly attached to the Oxygen Outlet.
• Ensure that the cannula is not kinked.
• Check the contents indicator/level gauge and fill the portable if needed.
• Ensure the flow control knob is not in the off (“0”) position.
The Portable does not fill. • Verify that there is oxygen in the Reservoir.
• Ensure that the Portable and Reservoir fill connectors are fully engaged through-
out the filling process.
The Portable vent valve
does not close properly
at the end of the filling
process.
• If the vent valve fails to close and the hissing sound and oxygen vapor cloud
continue, carefully remove the Portable by depressing the release button on the
Reservoir. Venting from the bottom of the Portable will stop in a few minutes.
Allow the unit to warm until you can close the vent valve. The Portable may
require as much as 60 minutes to restore adequate pressure for accurate oxygen
flow. If needed, use an alternate source of oxygen such as a flow control valve
attached to the Reservoir.
The Portable does not
disengage easily from the
Reservoir after filling.
• The Portable and Reservoir fill connectors may have become frozen.
• DO NOT USE FORCE. Allow a few minutes for the frozen parts to warm, then dis-
engage the Portable when the ice has melted. To prevent the units from freezing
together, always wipe the male fill connector on the Reservoir and the female fill
connector on the Portable with a clean, dry cloth before filling.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation dis-
tance (d) in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmit-
ter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the trans-
mitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 at 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
* This table is included as a standard requirement for equipment which has been tested to specific test
levels and over specific frequency ranges and been found compliant with regulations.

NOTE: If necessary to achieve the IMMUNITY TEST LEVEL, the distance between the transmitting antenna and
the Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller may be reduced to 1m. The 1m test distance is permitted by IEC 61000-4-3.
aFor some services, only the uplink frequencies are included.
bThe carrier shall be modulated using a 50% duty cycle square wave signal.
cAs an alternative to FM modulation, 50% pulse modulation at 18 Hz may be used because while it does not represent actual modulation, it
would be worst case.
