Proper Setting of Oxygen Flowmeter
To set the proper flow of supplemental oxygen, turn
the flowmeter adjustment knob left or right until the
ball inside the flowmeter centers on the flow line
number prescribed by your physician.
Elite (top) and Intensity (bottom)
To view the flowmeter at the proper angle, note that
the back line and the front numbered line must give
the appearance of just one line.
CAUTION: The Manufacturer
recommends an alternate source of
supplemental oxygen in the event
of a power outage, alarm condition,
or mechanical failure. Consult your
physician or Equipment Provider for
the type of reserve system required.
CAUTION: It is very important to select only the
prescribed level of oxygen. Do not change the
flow selection unless you have been directed to
do so by a licensed clinician.
Normally, you should not need to adjust
the flowmeter on your unit. If you turn the
flowmeter adjustment knob clockwise, you
will decrease and can shut off the flow of
oxygen from your unit. For your convenience,
the flowmeter is marked in ½ LPM increments.
For units equipped with the 2 LPM flowmeter
option, the flowmeter is marked in 1/8 LPM
increments for flow settings up to 2 LPM.
The Oxygen Concentrator may be used during
sleep under the recommendation of a licensed
clinician.
