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 affected 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 flow 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 flow and high flow
alarms when a cylinder is in the process of being filled. 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 flow of oxygen to you. If you are
breathing from the EverFlo device while filling 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.
