STEP 3: Listen for leaks. If a leak is present, close the cylinder valve, check
the CGA seal, and reinstall. If the leak persists, DO NOT USE THE
EQUIPMENT� Contact your Home Care Provider for repair�

is within the operating range�

appropriate delivery setting [See Fig� G]�
STEP 6: As with any nasal cannula, place the nasal cannula into position with
the prongs in the nostrils and begin breathing�
The BONSAI VELOCITY conserver will now start to deliver oxygen� The amount of oxygen
®
delivered per pulse is determined by the setting� A sound may be heard each time the unit delivers
a pulse of oxygen� Adequate saturation will be achieved because of the precise time in the
breathing cycle in which the pulse of oxygen is delivered�
