Q50
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
This guide provides you with basic instructions on how to set up
and operate the Vapotherm Q50 Compressor. The Vapotherm Q50
Compressor should only be used with the Vapotherm Precision Flow®.
Do no block or restrict the air exhaust underneath the compressor. This
could result in failure to deliver therapy as intended. When the unit is
placed on the oor, be sure that any ooring, such as carpet, does not
restrict the air exhaust. Do not remove the compressor feet.

HIGH ALTITUDE CONSIDERATIONS
• The specications provided in the Instructions for Use are for sea
level conditions, unless otherwise noted.
• The density of air is lower at higher altitudes and has an impact
on the ow capacity of the compressor.
• This table provides guidance for operating at higher altitudes.
• Operating above the ow rates show for a given altitude and FiO2
level may result in condensation or water collecting in the water
trap at the back of the Precision Flow device.
• Monitor the water trap regularly and empty the trap if necessary
to prevent possible water entrainment into the Precision Flow.
• It is normal for the Precision Flow air water trap to be less than
1/4 full.

SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure the Precision Flow and Q50 are unplugged.
Mount the compressor as needed.
Install and connect the High Altitude / High Flow Kit:
Remove the water trap from the air port on the back of the Precision Flow
Install the auto-draining water trap assembly on the Precision Flow.
Connect the free end of the air hose to the DISS tting on the Q50
Compressor.
Connect oxygen supply, if needed, and pressurize.
Plug in and toggle the on/o󰀨 switch on the back of the Q50 compressor.
Plug in the Precision Flow.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Check or verify that:
The power supply is appropriate for Q50 power requirements.
The Precision Flow is powered o󰀨 and unplugged.
The air hose is securely connected to the Q50 and the Precision Flow.
The oxygen hose, if needed, is connected to an oxygen source and the
Precision Flow, and the source is pressurized.
The Q50 water bottle and the Precision Flow water traps are empty.
The Q50 air intake on the back of the unit and the exhaust on the bottom of
the unit are unobstructed.
RUNNING
Check the water bottle and Precision Flow water traps once per shift.
Remove and clean air intake lter once per week.
