SAFETY SUMMARY
SAFETY SUMMARY
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock. DO NOT disassemble. Refer servicing
to qualified service personnel.
READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE
OPERATING THIS PRODUCT.
WARNING
The use of oxygen therapy requires that special care be taken
to reduce the risk of fire. Any materials that will burn in air,
and some that will not, are easily ignited and burn rapidly in
high concentrations of oxygen. For safety concerns, it is
necessary that all sources of ignition be kept away from the
product and preferably out of the room in which it is being
used. NO SMOKING signs should be prominently displayed.
A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease
or greasy substances come in contact with oxygen under
pressure. These substances MUST be kept away from the
oxygen concentrator, tubing and connections, and all other
oxygen equipment. DO NOT use any lubricants unless
expressly recommended by Invacare.
For optimum performance, Invacare recommends that
each concentrator be on and running for a minimum of 30
minutes at a time. Shorter periods of operation may reduce
maximum product life.
If the concentrator has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or
dropped into water, call Qualified Service Personnel for
examination and repair.
Keep the cord away from HEATED or HOT surfaces.

SENSO2OXYGEN PURITY INDICATOR
(IF YOUR UNIT FEATURES THE O2SENSOR FEATURE)
This feature monitors the purity of oxygen generated by the oxygen
concentrator. If purity falls below factory preset standards, indicator
lights on the control panel will illuminate.
INITIAL STARTUP OF THE CONCENTRATOR
NOTE: Concentrator may be used during the initial start warm-up time
(approximately 30 min.) while waiting for the O2purity to reach maximum.
When the unit is turned on, the green light will come on (SYSTEM OK/O2
greater than 85%). After 5 minutes, the oxygen sensor will be operating
normally and will control the indicator lights depending on oxygen concentra-
tion values. The explanation of the indicator light functions are as follows.
WARNING
DO NOT change the L/min. setting on the flowmeter unless
a change has been prescribed by your physician or therapist.
NOTE: To properly read the flowmeter, locate the prescribed flowrate line on
the flowmeter. Next, turn the flow knob until the ball rises to the line. Now,
center the ball on the L/min. line prescribed (FIGURE 7).
2. If the flowrate on the flowmeter ever falls below 0.5 L/min. for
more than about one minute, the LOW FLOW ALARM will be
triggered. This is a rapid beeping of the audible alarm. Check your
tubing or accessories for blocked or kinked tubing or a defective
humidifier bottle. After rated flow is restored, more than
0.5 L/min., the Low Flow audible alarm will go off.
