OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1:
Make sure that the EVOLUTION selector knob is set to the " PULSE " position before opening the oxygen source
valve. Battery saving technology has eliminated the need for an "OFF" position. The unit will go to " Sleep Mode"
after three minutes of non-use. The unit will turn on again when an inspiration is detected or the Selector Button
is pressed.
WARNING: Fire Hazard
To reduce the risk of rapid oxygen recompression and fire, open the oxygen source valve slowly and completely
s o the pressure gauge moves slowly as it indicates the source pressure.
STEP 2:
If a leak is present (see "Checking for Leaks" section above), close the oxygen cylinder valve, check the seal
washer and reinstall. If the leak persists, DO NOT USE THE EQUIPMENT. Contact your Home Care Provider for
repair or replacement.
STEP 3 :
Check the oxygen pressure gauge to verify that the oxygen cylinder pressure is within the operating range.
STEP 4 :
To select the setting on the EVOLUTION (1-7) that corresponds to the appropriate delivery setting, press and
hold the Selector Button until the appropriate dosage LED display light is illuminated.
NOTE: To check your current setting, press and release the Selector Button in the center of the
Selector Knob.
STEP 5 :
Ensure cannula is properly attached to the EVOLUTION
STEP 6 :
Properly position the cannula with the nasal prongs facing upward and insert the prongs
into nose. Wrap the cannula tubing over the ears and position in front of body
The conserver will now start to deliver oxygen. The amount of oxygen delivered per pulse is
determined by the setting . A sound may be heard each time the unit delivers a pulse of oxygen.
Adequate saturation will be achieved because of the precise time in the breathing cycle in which
the pulse of oxygen is delivered.
CAUTION : To help prevent possible damage to the unit and to maintain its cleanliness , keep the EVOLUTION
in a carrying bag. Several bags are available for use with different cylinder sizes and configurations: contact your
Home C are provider for more information about carry bags.
