Intended Use
The intended use of the UltraFill System is to provide supplemental oxygen to patients and to supply pressurized
oxygen to ll cylinders for the patients' personal ambulatory use. The device is not intended to be life supporting or
life sustaining.
Device Description
The UltraFill System is comprised of an oxygen lling station, a compatible oxygen concentrator, one or more oxygen
cylinder(s) and an oxygen conserving device or regulator.
While the UltraFill is lling a cylinder, a 5-liter concentrator will provide patient ow up to a maximum of 3 lpm and
ll the cylinder continuously. The UltraFill cannot be used with a 5-liter concentrator when the required patient ow
is greater than 3 lpm. When the required patient ow is greater than 3 lpm, the Millennium M10 concentrator will
provide ow up to a maximum of 7 lpm.

How tHe SyStem workS
The UltraFill Home Oxygen Filling Station lls Respironics oxygen cylinders with gaseous oxygen supplied from an
oxygen concentrator.
The UltraFill Station is attached to the concentrator via a pneumatic tube.The oxygen concentrator takes room air
and feeds oxygen enriched air to the UltraFill.The UltraFill compresses oxygen into a cylinder at a very high pressure.
This cylinder can then be used for ambulatory oxygen. While the cylinder is lling you can continue to breathe from a
5-liter concentrator at ow rates up to 3 LPM and a 10-liter concentrator at ow rates up to 7 LPM.
The UltraFill Station is only used for lling a cylinder. You cannot breathe oxygen gas directly from it. This device is not
intended to be life supporting or life sustaining.
To ensure the correct use of this device, please read the information in this manual carefully before trying to operate
this device. After reading this manual, keep it in a safe place where you can refer to it any time a question arises.
