SAFETY SUMMARY
SAFETY SUMMARY
CAUTION
Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale or rental
by or on order of a physician, or any other practitioner
licensed by the law of the State in which he/she practices
to use or order the use of this device.
Risk of electric shock. DO NOT disasse ble. 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 aterials that will burn in air,
and so e 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 fro the
product and preferably out of the roo in which it is being
used. NO SMOKING signs should be pro inently displayed.
A spontaneous and violent ignition ay occur if oil, grease
or greasy substances co e in contact with oxygen under
pressure. These substances MUST be kept away fro the
oxygen concentrator, tubing and connections, and all other
oxygen equip ent. DO NOT use any lubricants unless
reco ended by Invacare.
For opti u perfor ance, Invacare reco ends that
each concentrator be on and running for a ini u of 30
inutes at a ti e. Shorter periods of operation ay reduce
axi u product life.
If the concentrator has a da aged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, if it has been dropped or da aged, or dropped
into water, call Qualified Service Personnel for exa ination
and repair.
Keep the cord away fro HEATED or HOT surfaces.
Do not ove or relocate concentrator by pulling on
the cord.
NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.

5PART ONE
WARNING (CONTINUED)
NEVER block the air openings of the product or place it on a
soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air opening
ay be blocked. Keep the openings free fro lint, hair and
the like. Fill hu idifier with water to the level shown by the
anufacturer. DO NOT overfill.
Keep unit at least 3 inches away fro walls, draperies,
furniture, and the like.
Invacare reco ends that Crush-Proof oxygen tubing
(supplied by Invacare) be used with this product and NOT
exceed 50 ft. (15.2 ) in length.
MAINTENANCE
The Invacare Oxygen Concentrator was specifically designed to
ini ize routine preventive aintenance at intervals of once
per year. Only professionals of the healthcare field or persons
fully conversant with this process such as authorized or factory
trained personnel should perfor preventive aintenance or
perfor ance adjust ents on the oxygen concentrator.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
Most electronic equip ent is influenced by Radio Frequency
Interference (RFI). CAUTION should be exercised with regard
to the use of portable co unications equip ent in the area
around such equip ent.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS, ELECTROCUTION,
FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS.
Avoid using while bathing. If continuous usage is required by the
physicians prescription:
The concentrator ust be located in another roo at least
seven (7) feet fro the bath.
DO NOT co e in contact with the concentrator while wet.
DO NOT place or store product where it can drop into
water or other liquid.

PART ONE
SAFETY SUMMARY
WARNING (CONTINUED)
DO NOT reach for product that has fallen into water.
UNPLUG IMMEDIATELY.
A product should NEVER be left unattended when plugged in.
This device is to be used only in accordance with the prescrip-
tion of a physician and this Owners Manual. If at any ti e the
patient or attendant conclude that the patient is receiving an
insufficient a ount of oxygen, the supplier and/or physician
should be contacted i ediately. No adjust ents should be
ade to the flowrate unless prescribed by a physician.
Close supervision is necessary when this product is used
near children or physically-challenged individuals.
Use this product for only intended use as described in this
anual.
DO NOT use parts, accessories or adapters other than those
authorized by Invacare.
DO NOT connect the concentrator in parallel or series with
other oxygen concentrators or oxygen therapy devices.
Use of so e ad inistration accessories or certain hu idifiers
not specified for use with oxygen concentrator ay i pair the
perfor ance.
In certain circu stances oxygen therapy can be hazardous.
Invacare reco ends that you seek edical advice before using
this achine.
This equip ent is to be used as an oxygen supple ent and is not
considered life supporting or life sustaining.
Avoid creation of any spark near edical oxygen
equip ent. This includes sparks fro static electricity created
by any type of friction.
POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTION
As a safety feature, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse

INTRODUCTION
Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use in the home. 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 ill sho you ho to use your oxygen concentrator.
He/She should be contacted ith any questions or problems regarding
your oxygen concentrator. This o ners manual ill tell you about your
concentrator and ill serve as a reference as you use your concentrator.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SELECT A LOCATION
You may select a room in your house here using your oxygen
concentrator ould be most convenient. Your concentrator can be
easily rolled from room to room on its casters.
Your oxygen concentrator ill perform best hen operated under
the follo ing conditions. Usage in environments other than those
described may result in the need for increased equipment mainte-
nance. The air intake of the unit should be located in a ell ventilated
area to avoid airborne pollutants and/or fumes.

INITIAL STARTUP OF THE CONCENTRATOR
NOTE: Concentr tor m y be used during the initi l st rt w rm-up time
( pproxim tely 30 min.) while w iting for the O2 purity to re ch m ximum.
When the unit is turned on, the green light ill come on (SYSTEM OK / O2
greater than 85%). After 5 minutes, the oxygen sensor ill be operating
normally and ill control the indicator lights depending on oxygen concentra-
tion values. The explanation of the indicator light functions are as follo s.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SENSO2 OXYGEN PURITY INDICATOR
(IF YOUR UNIT FEATURES THE O2 SENSOR FEATURE)
This feature monitors the purity of oxygen generated by the oxygen
concentrator. If purity falls belo factory preset standards, indicator
lights on the control panel ill illuminate.
NOTE: The use of some ccessories such s the pedi tric flowst nd nd the
Homefill II compressor will de ctiv te the Low Flow Al rm.
WARNING
DO NOT change the L/ in. setting on the flow eter unless
a change has been prescribed by your physician or therapist.
NOTE: To properly re d the flowmeter, loc te the prescribed flowr te line on
the flowmeter. Next, turn the flow knob until the b ll rises to the line. Now,
center the b ll on the L/min. line prescribed (FIGURE 7).
2. If the flo rate on the flo meter ever falls belo 0.5L/min. for
more than about one minute, the LOW FLOW ALARM ill 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 flo is restored, more than 0.5 L/
min., the LOW FLOW audible alarm ill go off.
