Page 9: Radio Frequency Interference
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Radio Frequency Interference This equipment has been tested and found to comply with EMC limits specified by IEC/EN 60601‐1‐2. These limits are designed to provide a reasonable protection against electromagnetic interference in a typical medical installation. Other devices may experience interference from even the low levels of electromagnetic emissions permitted by the above standards. To determine if the emissions from the Perfecto is causing the interference, turn the Perfecto Off. If the interference with the other device(s) stops, then the Perfecto is causing the interference. In such rare cases, interference may be reduced or corrected by one of the following measures: • Reposition, relocate, or increase the separation between the equipment. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other device(s) is connected. Avoid creation of any spark near medical oxygen equipment. This includes sparks from static electricity created by any type of friction. Part No 1150713 Perfecto ™Series... -

Page 12: Section 4-Technical Description
SECTION 4—TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION SECTION 4—TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The Invacare Perfecto concentrator is used by patients with respiratory disorders who require supplemental oxygen. The device is not intended to sustain or support life. 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 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 the patient in a home environment or in an institutional environment. Device operates at a nominal 230 VAC/50 Hertz supply. Service information will be available upon request to qualified technical personnel only. Perfecto ™Series Part No 1150713... -
