your ears and position
the prongs in your nose
as instructed by your
Health Care provider or
cannula manufacturer.
Refer to FIGURE 5.1.

the prescribed setting.
When pointer on contents gauge enters red zone, it is
recommended to refill the cylinder on the Invacare
HomeFill Compressor.
NO OXYGEN is delivered in between settings. To obtain
desired flow, the indicating pointer must align with a
specific number on the dial.
To avoid injury to patient, ALWAYS confirm prescribed
setting before administering to patient and monitor flow
on a frequent basis.
Only use Invacare Corporation HF2PCM2 carrying bag.
7. Breathe through the nose and feel a pulse of oxygen as you
inhale.
NOTE: When on a pulse setting, there is flow or a pulse only at the
beginning of each breath. If you do not feel the pulse at the beginning
of each breath, check the setting.
NOTE: Because each patient's breathing pattern is different and the
environment varies, it may be difficult to feel some low setting
pulses.
