CAUTION: In the event of an alarm or you ob-
serve the Oxygen Concentrator is not working
properly; consult the troubleshooting section of
this manual. If you cannot resolve the problem,
consult your Equipment Provider.
CAUTION: If the humidifier bottle tubing is not
properly connected to the humidifier bottle
fitting or to the oxygen outlet, an oxygen leak
can occur.
CAUTION: Normally, you should not need to ad-
just the flowmeter on your unit. If you turn the
flowmeter adjustment knob clockwise, you will
decrease and can shut off the flow of oxygen
from your unit. For your convenience, the flow-
meter is marked in ½ LPM increments. For units
equipped with the 2 LPM flowmeter option, the
flowmeter is marked in 1/8 LPM increments for
flow settings up to 2 LPM.
Note: . Ensure the cannula is fully inserted and
secure. You should hear or feel oxygen flow to
the prongs of the nasal cannula. If oxygen does
not seem to flow, first verify that the flow meter
ball is registering a flow. Then, place the tip of the
cannula into a glass of water; if bubbles come out
of the cannula, oxygen is flowing. If bubbles do not
appear, refer to the troubleshooting section of this
manual.
Note: Always follow the cannula manufacturer's
instructions for proper use. Replace the disposable
cannula as recommended by the cannula manufac-
turer or your Equipment Provider. Additional sup-
plies are available from your Equipment Provider.
Note: Allow the unit to run for at least 5 minutes at
2 LPM or above before use.
Note: Always follow the cannula manufacturer's
instructions for proper use. Replace the disposable

Note: The Manufacturer does not recommend the
sterilization of this equipment.
Note: If the unit has not been used for an extended
period of time, it needs to operate for several
minutes before power failure alarm can become
activated.
