1.3 Indications For Use

The intended function and use of the Invacare® Platinum™ Oxygen
Concentrator is to provide supplemental oxygen to patients with
respiratory disorders, by separating nitrogen from room air, by way
of a molecular sieve. It is not intended to sustain or support life.

1.4 Description

The Invacare Platinum 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 Platinum 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 Platinum concentrator is capable of operation by the
patient in a home environment or in an institutional environment.
Device operates at a nominal 120 VAC/60 Hertz supply.
Service information will be available upon request to qualified
technical personnel only.
