The EVOLUTION MOTION OM-900M electronic oxygen conserver includes a combination of a low-pressure regulator and an
oxygen conserver. It is designed for use with a cylinder as an ambulatory oxygen system and is capable of delivering a specific
amount of supplemental oxygen at the optimal point in the breathing cycle. The EVOLUTION increases the efficiency in the
delivery of oxygen, maximizing the beneficial effects and eliminating unnecessary oxygen waste.
The addition of the patented motion-sensing technology makes the OM-900M a
unique therapeutic device. For those patients who have increased oxygen
requirements based on their activity level, the OM-900M stores two selectable
settings; one for rest and one for activity. By sensing the user’s activity, the
device can automatically switch from a lower setting in “Rest” mode to a higher
setting in “Active” mode to meet the user’s increased oxygen needs.

while riding in an
automobile.
The device may be interpreting the car's
motion as activity.
PROBLEM
PROBABLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Replace or recharge the batteries.
The activity time was not long enough to
activate the activity sensor.Continue activity and monitor situation.
The Activity light will illuminate after 3-4 seconds
of activity.
Sometimes the Activity
light or Activity Mode
stays on longer.
Switching times between Rest and Active
Modes are variable. The time in which the device switches from Active
Mode back to Rest Mode varies depending upon
the length of time the user remains active, the
longer the device takes to switch back to Rest
Mode once the activity has stopped. This is proper
operation of the unit.
Non-functioning units are subject to warranty provisions and the manufacturer repair/return policy.
If necessary, call your Home Care Provider.
The battery may be dead or depleted.
The device has been designed to be very responsive
to a user's activity. As a result, the device may
interpret a person sitting in a car, bus, train,
elevator or other forms of mobile transportation as
activity. If you are a passenger, you may choose to
adjust the Active Mode temporarily to equal your
Rest Mode. If you are the driver, consult your
physician to see if the Active flow setting is
appropriate. NEVER adjust your settings while
driving.

Drive Medical recommends that at least the following procedures be completed by an appropriately trained
individual (i.e., biomedical technician, equipment technician, respiratory therapist, nurse) between uses by
different patients.
STEP 1:Dispose of nasal cannula.
Because the total delivery of oxygen via the EVOLUTION is related to breathing rates, it is user adaptive. Thetotal oxygen
delivered per minute will automatically adjust with user need. Forexample, at all settings, twice as much oxygen per minute
will be delivered if one breathes twenty (20) times per minute as compared with ten (10) times per minute. These cylinder
durations can vary widely depending on whether more time is spent in Rest or Active mode and depending on breath rate.
Please refer to the table below as a guide.
