1 Preliminary remarks
1.1 General information
This technical information describes the oxygen concentrator Kröber O2.
It is only valid in connection with the instructions for use Kröber O2.
The Kröber O2 is normally equipped with a humidifier directly attached to the KröberO2.
Additionally there is a humidifier for patient-side humidification available.
The minimum performance specifications for the Kröber O2 oxygen concentrator are as
follows:
up to 4 lpm flow: 95 % O2 +/- 3 %
up to 5 lpm flow: 85 % O2 +/- 3 %
up to 6 lpm flow: 75 % O2 +/- 3 %
These specifications must be determined and documented during the routine maintenance
procedure.
Necessary equipment: oxygen meter
flow meter 0-6 lpm
All settings mentioned in this Technical Information are benchmarks and provide a basis for
optimizing the performance data.
Data retrieved from the microcontroller are helpful for further analysis and error investigation
by the trained service technicians.
1.2 Warranty
Differing from our General Terms of Business we grant an extended warranty of 30.000
operating hours for all functional parts (e.g. compressor, control board, valve technology,
etc.) used in our oxygen concentrator Kröber O2 . This extended warranty is valid for
maximum 5 years from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not cover filters and zeolites, damage caused by improper handling and
mechanical damage of parts (e.g. transport damage).
Our warranty is limited to the free-of-charge replacement delivery for defective parts. The
defective components must be returned to us for inspection. Locally arising costs for travel
and labour time will not be refunded. If units are returned to us free of charge for warranty
repair we will also cover the labour costs for probable warranty repairs.
