WARNING!
Risk of Injury

oxygen:
– DO NOT change the L/min setting on the flowmeter
unless a change has been prescribed by your physician
or therapist.
– DO NOT set the flow greater than 9 L/min.

1. Turn the flowrate knob A to the setting prescribed by your
physician or therapist.
To properly read the flowmeter B, locate the
prescribed flowrate line on the flowmeter. Next, turn
the flow knob until the ball Crises to the line. Now,
center the ball on the L/min line prescribed.
2. If the flowrate on the flowmeter ever falls below 0.5 L/min for
more than about one minute, the Potential Obstruction Alert
will be triggered. This is a rapid beeping of the audible alarm.
Check your tubing or accessories for blocked or kinked tubing
or a defective humidifier bottle. After rated flow is restored to
between 0.5 L/min and 0.75 L/min., the Potential Obstruction
Alert will turn off.
A Potential Obstruction Alert indicates a condition that
may be associated with a partial or complete obstruction
of oxygen output.
The use of some accessories such as the PreciseRx™pediatric
flowmeter and the HomeFill compressor will deactivate the
Potential Obstruction Alert.
