plugged into the wall outlet.

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 7.
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 3).
Oxygen tubing connection With humidification:
If your physician has prescribed an oxygen humidifier as part of your therapy,
follow these steps:
a. Fill the humidifier bottle with distilled water. Do not overfill. (If using a prefill, go to letter b.)
b. Thread the wing nut located on the top of the humidifier bottle to the oxygen outlet so that it is
suspended (Figure 4). Make sure it is securely tightened.
c. Attach the oxygen tubing directly to the humidifier bottle outlet fitting (Figure 5).
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.
