Probable Cause

Check to see if the cannula is adjusted properly around your nose
and has not slipped to one side.
Close your mouth and breathe only through your nose. If the
portable device still does not pulse, then try each of the following:
- Check for a pinched or broken cannula, which could interrupt
airflow.
- Make sure the connection between the cannula and cylinder is
secure.
- If you have moisture in the cannula, replace it with a dry one.
- Check to see if there is oxygen in the cylinder.
- Check that the conserving device is set to the number prescribed
by your physician.
If some other adjustment is necessary, contact your home care
provider.
Check the oxygen level gauge to see if the cylinder is empty. If so,
refill it.
Make sure the setting on the conserving device or regulator is set to
the number prescribed by your physician.
If these solutions do not solve the problem, contact your home care
provider.
Check for a pinched or broken cannula which could interrupt flow.
If some other adjustment is necessary, contact your home care
provider.
It is normal to have a small variation from the figures provided in
this manual. However, if your times are very different from those
shown in this manual, there may be a leak. If you are in pulse dose,
you may be using a different conserving device with a different
conserving ratio. Contact your home care provider.
