CHECKING FOR LEAKS:
CAUTION : This should be performed before each use.
STEP 1 : Close the valve on the oxygen cylinder by turning the valve clockwise .
STEP 2 : Depressurize the conserver by inhaling several times using the nasal cannula.
The gauge indicator should drop to zero.
STEP 3 : Check that all tube connections are tight. If necessary, tighten them by hand.
CAUTION : Do not use a tool.
STEP 4 : Ensure that the unit is set to the " PULSE " position.
STEP 5 : Slowly open the valve on the oxygen cylinder by turning the valve counter clockwise until the needle in the
gauge indicator no longer moves.
STEP 6 : Close the oxygen cylinder valve again by turning the valve clockwise.
STEP 7 : Observe the needle in the gauge indicator for approximately one minute.
•
If the needle remains in its position , there is no leak and the device is ready for use.
•
However, if the contents indicator shows a continuous decrease in pressure, there is a leak in the system.
In this event, contact your Home Care Provider.
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.
