DANGER!
Risk of Injury or Death
This product is to be used as an oxygen supplement and
is not intended to be life-supporting or life-sustaining.
ONLY use this product if the patient is capable of
spontaneous breath, able to inhale and exhale without
the use of a machine.
–DO NOT use in parallel or series with other oxygen
concentrators or oxygen therapy devices.
DANGER!
Risk of Injury or Death
Depending on their medical condition, patients on flow
rates greater than 5 l/m may be at an increased risk for
serious injury or death in the event of failure.
–ALWAYS discuss this increased risk with your health
care provider BEFORE using this product if you are
prescribed a flow rate greater than 5 l/m.
DANGER!
Risk of Injury or Death
While Invacare strives to produce the best oxygen
concentrator in the market today, this oxygen

General
1.3 Description
The Invacare Perfecto2concentrator is used by patients with
respiratory disorders who require supplemental oxygen. The device
is not intended to sustain or support life.
The oxygen concentration level of the output gas ranges from 87%
to 95.6%. The oxygen is delivered to the patient through the use
of a nasal cannula.
The Invacare Perfecto2concentrator uses a molecular sieve and
pressure swing adsorption methodology to produce the oxygen
gas output. Ambient air enters the device, is filtered and then
compressed. This compressed air is then directed toward one of
two nitrogen adsorbing sieve beds.
Concentrated oxygen exits the opposite end of the active sieve bed
and is directed into an oxygen reservoir where it is delivered to the
patient.
The Invacare Perfecto2concentrator is capable of operation by the
patient in a home environment or in an institutional environment.
Device operates at a nominal 230 VAC/50 Hertz supply.
Both concentrator models (IRC5PO2AW and
IRC5PO2VAW) have identical operating parameters with the
exception of the product weight and power consumption.
Refer to typical product parameters.
Service information will be available upon request to qualified
technical personnel only.
1.4 Contraindications
Invacare is not aware of any contraindications for the Invacare
Perfecto2Concentrator Series.

2.3 Radio Frequency Interference
WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
To reduce the risk of injury or product damage from
interference with wireless equipment:
–Keep concentrator at least 9.8 ft (3.0 m) away from
wireless communication equipment such as wireless
home network devices, mobile phones, cordless
phones and base stations, walkie-talkies, etc.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with EMC limits
specified by IEC/EN 60601-1-2. These limits are designed to provide
a reasonable protection against electromagnetic interference in a
typical medical installation.
Other devices may experience interference from even the low levels
of electromagnetic emissions permitted by the above standards.
To determine if the emissions from the concentrator are causing
the interference, turn the concentrator Off. If the interference
with the other device(s) stops, then the concentrator is causing the
interference. In such rare cases, interference may be reduced or
corrected by one of the following measures:
•Reposition, relocate, or increase the separation between the
equipment.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the other device(s) is connected.

Usage
6 Usage
6.1 Introduction
Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use indoors.
It is an electronically operated device that separates oxygen from
room air. It provides high concentration of oxygen directly to you
through a nasal cannula. Clinical studies have documented that
oxygen concentrators are therapeutically equivalent to other types of
oxygen delivery systems.
Your provider will show you how to use your oxygen concentrator.
He/She should be contacted with any questions or problems
regarding your oxygen concentrator. This user manual will tell you
about your concentrator and will serve as a reference as you use
your concentrator.
6.2 Select a Location
WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
To avoid injury or damage from airborne pollutants
and/or fumes and for optimal performance:
–Locate and position the concentrator in a well
ventilated space so that the air intake and the air
exhausts are not obstructed.
–NEVER block the air openings of the concentrator
or place it on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch,
where the air opening may be blocked.
–Keep the openings free from lint, hair and similar
foreign items.
–Keep concentrator at least 12 inches (30,5 cm) away
from walls, draperies and furniture.
–Avoid use in presence of pollutants, smoke or fumes,
flammable anesthetics, cleaning agents or chemical
vapors.
–Place concentrator in a well ventilated area to avoid
airborne pollutants and/or fumes.
–DO NOT use in a closet.
WARNING!
Risk of Injury
To avoid injury during therapy:
–The oxygen concentrator MUST be placed on a level
surface for use.
–DO NOT relocate the oxygen concentrator while in
use.
1195656-A 17

Invacare® Perfecto₂™Series
You may select a room in your house where using your oxygen
concentrator would be most convenient. Your concentrator can be
easily rolled from room to room on its casters.
Your oxygen concentrator will perform best when operated under
the conditions outlined in typical product parameters.
Usage in environments other than those described may result in the
need for increased equipment maintenance. The air intake of the
unit should be located in a well ventilated area to avoid airborne
pollutants and/or fumes.
6.3 Setting Up the Concentrator
1. Plug in power cord to an electrical outlet.
2. Connect Humidifier (if so prescribed).
6.3.1 Setting Up the Humidifier
WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
To avoid burns from steam or hot water, inhalation of
water and/or water damage to the concentrator:
–DO NOT fill humidifier bottle with hot water. Allow
boiled water to cool to room temperature before
filling.
–DO NOT overfill humidifier.
–Replace the humidifier cap and securely tighten.
Confirm that the cap is not cross-threaded on the
humidifier bottle.
–DO NOT reverse the oxygen input and output
connections. Water from the humidifier bottle will
travel through the cannula back to the patient if input
and output connections are reversed.
–When using tubing connections longer than 2.1 m
(7 feet) in length, position the humidifier as close
to the patient as possible to allow for maximum
humidification output.

Usage
WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
Failure to properly install the humidifier bottle or other
accessories to the concentrator will impact the flow of
oxygen.
–To check for proper operation of the oxygen
concentrator and accessories, place the end of the
nasal cannula under the surface of a half-full cup of
water and look for the bubbles.
–If there are no bubbles, check all connections
(including humidifier bottle and other accessories, if
applicable) and repeat. Contact your dealer or service
provider immediately if bubbles still do not appear.
