CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance: The operator is not required to perform any preventive maintenance on the equipment. In the event of a fault,
please contact your clinician or your distributor.
Cleaning: The FlowOx™ device can be cleaned if needed with wipes moistened with water and/or alcohol impregnated wipes.
Note: Do not get the Control Unit [4] wet ● Do not use any abrasives or oxidizing agents such as detergents or hypochlorite
(bleach) if the FlowOx™ system is to be used for further treatment.
Recyclability: Used Pressure Chambers should either be cleaned with hypochlorite solution prior to disposal as non-hazardous
domestic waste or be disposed of as hazardous waste in a hospital or professional healthcare setting. Not doing so could risk
spreading diseases to others ● Do not dispose of the Control Unit [4] with your general waste. It contains a battery and other
electronic components and must be disposed as electronic waste. When its end-of-life is reached, contact Otivio or your
authorized distributor ● The Pressure Chamber [1] is a disposable item and has a lifetime of one year.
Replacement parts: Please contact your clinician if you need replacement parts, i.e. Padding (810-00002) [17], Seal (810-
00003) [20], and/or the Absorbgel Pouch (431-00002) [26].
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If an error occurs, the Treatment Ongoing symbol [27] disappears from the Display [10], Error code is shown on Multi Screen
[8] and a General Error symbol [35] or Air Leakage symbol [40] is shown. If an error code appears on the Multi Screen [8], it
should be documented, and the clinician informed as soon as possible. Error Codes:
E1 Minor Air Leakage | Higher leakage than normal but treatment still being delivered effectively ● Solution: Clinician should
advise patient at next check-up, that it is important to adjust the Seal [20] and the Hose with Filter [24] so that there is minimal
leakage. Note: this error only shown in data log
E2 Major Air Leakage | Higher leakage than normal and treatment not being delivered ● Solution: Check the Seal [20], Hose
with Filter [24] and adjust if necessary. Restart the device by pressing On/Off Button [7]
E3 Low Air Volume | Not enough air to function (Low air volume) ● Solution: check for obstruction, e.g. kinked hose. Restart
the device by pressing On/Off Button [7]
E4 Data transfer error | Data not transferred, e.g. due to taking out USB Memory Stick [32] too early or software error ●
Solution: Switch off the device and try inserting the USB Memory Stick [32] into the Control Unit [4] again ● Note: if the
problem persists, contact clinician or local distributor ● The Control Unit [4] can be reset by pressing On/Off button [7] for 13
seconds
