supply of oxygen to function properly . Your physician prescribed supplemental oxygen for you, because you are not getting enough oxygen from room air alone . Supplemental
oxygen will increase the amount of oxygen that your body receives .

irritability . If these symptoms persist after you begin your supplemental oxygen program, consult your physician .
The oxygen delivery setting has to be determined for each patient individually with the configuration of the equipment to be used, including accessories.
The proper placement and positioning of the prongs of the nasal cannula in the nose is critical to the amount of oxygen delivered to the respiratory system of the patient .
Your Delivery settings of the oxygen concentrator should be periodically reassessed for the effectiveness of therapy .
How Your DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrator Works
