Oxygen With Humidifier

Follow these steps if your physician prescribed an oxygen humidifier as part
of your therapy:
1. Remove or unscrew the reservoir bottle from the humidifier. (If you
have a pre-filled unit, do not perform this step. Proceed directly to
step 4.)
2. Fill the reservoir with cool or cold water (distilled water is preferred)
to the fill line indicated on the bottle. DO NOT OVERFILL.
3. Screw the reservoir bottle back together.
4. On the top of the humidifier, turn the threaded nut counterclockwise
while you connect the humidifier to the oxygen outlet, and tighten
securely (Figure 6).
5. Connect oxygen tubing from the cannula or catheter to the humidifier
outlet fitting (Figure 7).
The use of certain humidifiers not specified for use
with this oxygen concentrator may impair its
performance.
