Chapter 1: Introduction
Your health care professional has determined that supplemental oxygen is of benet to you and has prescribed an
oxygen concentrator set at a specic ow setting to meet your needs. DO NOT change the ow settings unless your
health care professional tells you to do so. Please read and understand this entire manual before using the device.
Intended Use
The EverFlo / EverFlo Q Oxygen Concentrator is intended to provide supplemental oxygen to persons requiring
oxygen therapy. The device is not intended to be life supporting or life sustaining.
The device is for use in the home or hospital/institutional environment.
About Your EverFlo / EverFlo Q
The device produces concentrated oxygen from room air for delivery to a patient requiring low ow oxygen
therapy. The oxygen from the air is concentrated using a molecular sieve and a pressure swing adsorption process.
Your home care provider will show you how to operate the concentrator and will be available to answer any
questions. If you have additional questions or problems, contact your home care provider.

EverFlo / EverFlo Q User Manual
EverFlo models that are compatible with the UltraFill Oxygen Filling Station will include an additional connection
port for connection to the UltraFill Oxygen Filling Station. The performance of the EverFlo is not aected when the
port is connected to the UltraFill Oxygen Filling Station. The port is for connection to the UltraFill Oxygen Filling
Station only, not for connecting the patient oxygen cannula. The patient oxygen cannula is connected to the
EverFlo as shown later in this manual.
When the EverFlo is connected to the UltraFill Oxygen Filling Station, the maximum ow of the device that can be
delivered to the patient will be reduced from 5 LPM to 3 LPM.
Note: When connected to the UltraFill Oxygen Filling Station, the EverFlo device disables its no ow and high ow
alarms when a cylinder is in the process of being lled. If you are breathing from the EverFlo at this time and an
occlusion occurs in the cannula, the EverFlo will not sense the disruption of the ow of oxygen to you. If you are
breathing from the EverFlo device while lling a cylinder, ensure that you place your oxygen cannula in a position
to avoid it being kinked or crushed. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

EverFlo / EverFlo QUser Manual
Warnings and Cautions
Warnings
A warning represents the possibility of harm to the operator or patient.
• For proper operation, your concentrator requires unobstructed ventilation. The ventilation ports are located
at the rear base of the device and at the side air inlet filter. Keep the device at least 15 to 30 cm away from
walls, furniture, and especially curtains that could impede adequate airflow to the device. Do not place the
concentrator in a small closed space (such as a closet). The device should not be used adjacent to or stacked
with other equipment. For more information, contact your home care provider.
• Do not remove the covers of this device. Servicing must be referred to an authorized and trained Philips
Respironics home care provider.
• In the event of an equipment alarm or if you are experiencing any signs of discomfort consult your home care
provider and/or your health care professional immediately.
• Oxygen generated by this concentrator is supplemental and should not be considered life supporting or life
sustaining. In certain circumstances oxygen therapy can be hazardous; any user should seek medical advice
prior to using this device.
• Where the prescribing health care professional has determined that an interruption in the supply of oxygen,
for any reason, may have serious consequences to the user, an alternate source of oxygen should be available
for immediate use.
• Oxygen vigorously accelerates combustion and should be kept away from heat or open flame. Not suitable for
use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• Oxygen makes it easier for a fire to start and spread. Do not leave the nasal cannula or mask on bed coverings
or chair cushions, if the oxygen concentrator is turned on, but not in use; the oxygen will make the materials
flammable. Turn the oxygen concentrator off when not in use to prevent oxygen enrichment.
• Accessories used to connect the patient to the oxygen concentrator must be compatible to the requirements
of ISO 80601-2-69. Application accessories shall include a means to reduce the propagation of fire, including
having a fire stop device that stops fire and flow of oxygen to the patient.
• Do not smoke, allow others to smoke, or have open flames near the concentrator when it is in use. Smoking
during oxygen therapy is dangerous and is likely to result in facial burns or death.
• Do not use oil or grease on the concentrator or its components as these substances, when combined with
oxygen, can greatly increase the potential for a fire hazard and personal injury.
• Do not use the oxygen concentrator if either the plug or power cord is damaged. Do not use extension cords
or electrical adapters.
• Do not attempt to clean the concentrator while it is plugged into an electrical outlet.
• Device operation above or outside of the voltage, LPM, temperature, humidity and/or altitude values specified
may decrease oxygen concentration levels.
• Your home care provider is responsible for performing appropriate preventive maintenance at the intervals
recommended by the device manufacturer.
• Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment. See the EMC
section of this manual for distances to observe between RF communications equipment and the device to

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be
used no closer to any part of the device, including cables, than
the recommended separation distance calculated from the
equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance:
d = 1.2
d = 1.2 80 MHz to 800 MHz
d = 2.3 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz
Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter
in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and dis
the recommended separation distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from xed RF transmitters, as determined
by an electromagnetic site survey a, should be less than the
compliance level in each frequency range b.
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with
the following symbol:
Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is aected by absorption and reection from structures,
objects, and people.
a: Field strength from xed transmitters such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM
and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to
xed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured eld strength in the location in which the Device is
used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Device.
b: Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, the eld strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
