SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN

Supplemental oxygen may be prescribed with nasal
CPAP for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
CAUTION–Oxygen is a prescription gas and should only
be administered under the supervision of a
physician.
WARNING
Oxygen supports combustion. To avoid possible
physical injury, do not smoke while using your
CPAP unit with supplemental oxygen. Do not
use near hot, sparking objects or open sources
of flame.
WARNING
Always turn the CPAP unit on prior to turning on the oxygen flow and turn
off the oxygen before turning the unit off.
1. Activate power switch and connect the optional oxygen adapter (part #7353D-
601) to the outlet port of the unit. Always turn CPAP unit on before the oxygen
source and turn the oxygen source off before turning off the CPAP unit.
2. Connect one end of the 22 mm diameter tubing to the open end of the adapter
and the other end to the CPAP mask.
3. Oxygen may be injected into the air supply by connecting one end of standard
oxygen tubing to the oxygen adapter and the other end to the
oxygen source (Figure 10).
WARNING
The flow setting of the oxygen source shall be specified by a physician.

NOTE–At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen, the
inhaled oxygen concentration will vary,
depending on the pressure setting, patient
breathing pattern, mask selection and leak rate.
This applies to most types of CPAP machines.

CLEANING

WARNING
To avoid electric shock, always unplug power
cord from wall outlet power source.
CAUTION–Never rinse or place the unit in water. Never
allow liquids to get into or around any of the ports, switches, or air filter;
doing so will result in product damage.

Cabinet

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Wipe the cabinet with a clean, damp cloth and mild dishwashing detergent every
few days to keep dust free. Do not use alcohol or any alcohol-based solutions to
clean the unit. These cleaning solutions may damage the plastic enclosure.
Allow the unit to dry completely before plugging the unit into a power source.

Air-Inlet Filter

1. The air-inlet filter should be checked daily. The filter is located in the rear of the unit
(Figure 11).
2. For weekly cleaning, remove the dirty foam filter from the frame.
3. Wash the filter in a solution of warm water and dishwashing detergent and rinse
with tap water. Allow the filter to dry completely. If the filter (part #8000D-602)
is damaged, contact your home medical equipment provider for a replacement.
4. Insert clean filter into housing.
