DESCRIPTION

Intended Use

Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use by
patients with respiratory disorders who require supplemental
oxygen. The device is not intended to sustain or support life.
The concentrator is intended for use within a home or
institutional environment.

Technical Description

The oxygen concentration level of the output gas ranges from
87% to 95.6%. The oxygen is delivered to the patient through
the use of a nasal cannula.
The Invacare Perfecto concentrator uses a molecular sieve
2
and pressure swing adsorption methodology to produce the
oxygen gas output. Ambient air enters the device, is filtered
and then compressed. This compressed air is then directed
toward one of two nitrogen adsorbing sieve beds.
Concentrated oxygen exits the opposite end of the active sieve
bed and is directed into an oxygen reservoir where it is
delivered to the patient.
The Invacare Perfecto concentrator is capable of operation by
2
the patient in a home environment or in an institutional
environment. Device operates at a nominal 230 VAC/50 Hertz
supply.
NOTE: Both concentrator models (IRC5PO2AW and
IRC5PO2VAW) have identical operating parameters with the
exception of the product weight and power consumption. Refer to
TYPICAL PRODUCT PARAMETERS on page 13.
Service information will be available upon request to
