There are many types of humidifiers, oxygen tubing and cannulas/masks that can be used with this device. Certain humidifiers and accessories may impair the device's
performance. A mask or any nasal cannula can be used with continuous flow delivery and may be sized according to your prescription as recommended by your homecare
provider who should also give you advice on the proper usage, maintenance, and cleaning .
NOTE– A maximum of 50 feet (15 meters) of crush-proof oxygen tubing plus 7 feet (2.1 meters) of cannula plus a bubble humidifier is allowed between the concentrator and
the patient.
NOTE– The oxygen supply accessory (patient tubing) shall be equipped with a means that in case of fire stops the delivery of
oxygen to the patient. This means of protection should be located as close to the patient as practicable.
SETTING UP YOUR OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR
1 . Position your unit near an electrical outlet in the room where you spend most of your time .
DANGER
Keep the oxygen concentrator and cannula at least 5 feet (1.6 m) from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of flame.
NOTE– Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch. No other appliances should be plugged into the wall outlet.
2. Position your unit at least 6 inches (16 cm) from walls, draperies, or any other objects that might prevent the proper flow of air in and
out of your oxygen concentrator . The oxygen concentrator should be located so as to avoid pollutants or fumes .
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR
1. Before operating your unit, always check to be sure the air filter (located on the back of your unit) is clean. Proper cleaning of this filter
is discussed in the Caring For Your Concentrator section on page 5 .
2 . Attach the appropriate oxygen accessories to the oxygen outlet .
Oxygen Tubing Connection:
a . Thread the oxygen outlet connector onto the oxygen outlet .
b . Attach the oxygen tubing directly to the connector (Figure 1) .
Oxygen Tubing Connection With Humidification:
If your physician has prescribed an oxygen humidifier as part of your therapy, follow these steps (If using a prefill, go to step b.):
a. Fill the humidifier bottle with distilled water. Do not overfill.
b. Thread the wing nut located on the top of the humidifier bottle to the oxygen outlet so that it is suspended (Figure 2). Make sure
it is securely tightened .
c. Attach the oxygen tubing directly to the humidifier bottle outlet fitting (Figure 3).
3 . Your physician has prescribed either a nasal cannula or face mask . In most cases, they are already attached to the oxygen tubing . If
not, follow the manufacturer's instructions for attachment .
4 . Remove the power cord completely from the line cord strap . Make sure the power switch is in the "Off" position, and insert the plug
into the wall outlet . The unit is double insulated to guard against electric shock .
NOTE– (only 115 volt units) The plug on the DeVilbiss oxygen concentrator has one blade wider than the other. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a wall outlet only one way. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
WARNING
Improper use of the power cord and plugs can cause a burn, fire, or other electric shock hazards. Do not use the unit if the power
cord is damaged.
