Introduction
Operator Prole:
AirSep’s Stationary Concentrators are intended
to supply supplemental Oxygen to users suffering
from discomfort due to ailments which affect the
efciency of ones lungs to transfer the oxygen in
air to their bloodstream. Users can benet from
supplemental oxygen therapy for respiratory care at
home, in the hospital, or at a medical facility. Oxygen
Concentrator use requires a physician’s prescription,
and are not intended for life support use.
Although Oxygen therapy can be prescribed for
patients of all ages the typical oxygen therapy patient
is older than 65 years of age and suffers from chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients
typically have good cognitive abilities and must be
able to communicate discomfort. If the user is unable
to communicate discomfort, or unable to read and
understand the concentrator labeling and instructions
for use, then use is recommended only under the
supervision of one who can. If any discomfort is felt
while using the concentrator, patients are advised
to contact their healthcare provider. Patients are
also advised to have back-up oxygen available (i.e.
cylinder oxygen) in the event of a power outage or
concentrator failure. There are no other unique skills
or user abilities required for concentrator use.
This Patient Manual will acquaint you with AirSep’s
VisionAire 2 and VisionAire 3 Oxygen Concentrators.
Make sure you read and understand all of the
information contained in this guide before operating
your concentrator. Should you have any questions,
your Equipment Provider will be happy to answer
them for you.
Why Your Physician Prescribed Oxygen
Many people today suffer from a variety of heart,
lung, and other respiratory diseases. A signicant
number of these patients can benet from
supplemental oxygen therapy for respiratory care at
home, in the hospital, or at a medical facility.
Oxygen is a gas that makes up 21% of the room air
we breathe. Our bodies depend on a steady supply
to function properly. Your physician has prescribed
supplemental oxygen therapy because your body is
not able to get enough oxygen from room air. Oxygen
is a non-addictive drug, and your physician prescribed
a ow sufcient to improve your condition.
Please keep in mind that unauthorized oxygen therapy
can be dangerous. You must seek medical advice
before you use this unit. The Equipment Provider who
supplies your oxygen equipment will demonstrate how
to set the prescribed ow rate.
What is an Oxygen Concentrator?
Oxygen concentrators were introduced in the mid-
1970s and have become the most convenient, reliable
source of supplemental oxygen available today.
Without an oxygen concentrator, the average patient
would require a delivery of 12 bottles/cylinders
of oxygen each month. Your oxygen concentrator
produces all the oxygen you need, with no deliveries
required.
The air we breathe contains approximately 21%
oxygen, 78% nitrogen, and 1% other gases. In the
VisionAire 2 or VisionAire 3 unit, room air passes
through a regenerative adsorbent material called
molecular sieve. This material separates the oxygen
from the nitrogen and other gases. The result is a
constant supply of high concentration supplemental
oxygen that is delivered to the patient.
Note: There is never a danger of depleting the
oxygen in a room when you use your VisionAire 2 or
VisionAire 3 unit.

to place the unit on a at surface and make sure
all sides are at least 1 foot (30 cm) away from a wall or
other obstruction. Do not place the unit in a conned
area. Choose a dust and smoke free-location away from
direct sunlight. Do not operate the unit outdoors unless
the unit is plugged into a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
protected outlet.
1. Locate the unit near the electrical outlet in the
room where you spend most of your time.
2. Insert the power cord plug into the electrical outlet.
3. Set the I/0 power switch to the “I” position to turn
the unit on. An audible alarm will loudly sound for
approximately 5 seconds.
4. The low oxygen concentration indicator remains
on for a few minutes and until the oxygen
concentration reaches minimum concentration
requirements, (only pertains to unit equipped with
an Oxygen Monitor)
5. To set the flow of supplemental oxygen, turn the
flowmeter adjustment knob left or right until the
ball inside the flowmeter centers on the flow line
number prescribed by your physician. To view
the flowmeter at the proper angle, note that the
back line and the front number line must give
appearance of one line.
6. The concentrator is now ready for use.
Note:Optimal oxygenconcentration isobtained within 10
minutesafterthedeviceisswitchedon(90%oftheconcen-
tration is obtained after approximately 5 minutes).
