7.5 STORING YOUR CONCENTRATOR
Step
Instruction
7.5.1
Store your concentrator
1.1 Remove the battery from the concentrator.
1.2 Store concentrator, battery and power accessories in a cool, dry place.
1.3 Store your battery with a charge of 40-50%.
DO NOT store in temperatures less than 41˚F (5˚C) or higher than 95˚F (35˚C) for extended
periods of time.
DO NOT place objects on top of the concentrator or packaged concentrator.
7.6 RESPONDING TO ALARMS
WARNING:
If you are unable to hear or see alarms, do not have normal tactile sensitivity, or cannot communicate discom-
fort, consult your clinician before using this device.
Pressing the bell button will enable (turn on) and disable (turn off) the no-breath-detect alarm. When the audible
no-breath-detect alarm is ON (because the concentrator has not detected a breath for 60 seconds, see Section 8:
alarms for no-breath-detect alarm conditions), the concentrator will emit three beeps, repeated every 25 seconds
and will have a flashing yellow light. When this alarm is triggered, the concentrator will begin to deliver pulses of
oxygen at a rate of 20 boluses per minute. When the audible no-breath-detect alarm is OFF, the concentrator will
respond the same way when no breath is detected for 60 seconds BUT the repeating 3 beeps will not be produced.
Whether the no-breath-detect mode is on or off, it does not impact the alarm functionality of any other device
alarms or notifications.
Important: The alarm system is tested during the startup sequence. You should see all alarm lights briefly turn on
and the audible alarm indicator chirp. If alarms are suspected of misoperating, contact your distributor for verifica-
tion that alarms are working correctly.
7.7 TRAVELING WITH YOUR CONCENTRATOR
The FAA allows this device on board most U.S. aircrafts.
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the patient to check with the specific airline carrier when traveling domesti-
cally and internationally.
When traveling with the device, be sure to bring the AC Power Supply and the External Battery Charger (if you have
one) with you. It is advisable to use external power (i.e., plugged into a wall) whenever it is available to keep the
battery fully charged.
Bring enough charged batteries with you to power your concentrator for no less than 150% of the expected dura-
tion of your flight, ground time before and after the flight, security screenings, connections and a conservative
estimate for unanticipated delays. Note that per FAA regulations, all extra batteries are to be individually wrapped
and protected to prevent short circuits and carried in carry-on baggage onboard aircraft only.
The AC Power Supply cannot be used to charge the device battery when onboard aircraft. If traveling by bus, train
or boat, contact your carrier to find out about power port availability.
