Verify that the concentrator's electrical cord is
plugged into an outlet and that the outlet has power.
Try a different outlet. If the problem continues,
connect to a back-up oxygen supply and contact your
healthcare provider.
Turn the power switch in the "OFF" position immedi-
ately. Disconnect the AC Power from the wall outlet.
Wait 5 minutes. Connect the AC Power back into the
wall outlet and turn the concentrator back on again.
If the alarm continues, service is required. Connect to
a backup oxygen supply and contact your healthcare
provider immediately.
1. Ensure that the cannula is not kinked or blocked. If
used with a humidifier bottle, ensure that it is filled
properly and not creating a blockage.
2. Ensure that the Companion 5 has proper ventila-
tion. It needs to be at least 12 inches (30 cm) from
any surface to ensure the vents are not blocked.
3. If the problem persists, switch to an alternate
source of oxygen and contact healthcare provider for
assistance.
1. Ensure the air intake filter and exhaust locations
are not clogged or restricted. 2. Ensure the Compan-
ion 5 is in a well-ventilated area. Make sure there
are at least 12 inches between the back and sides
of the Companion and any obstructions (furniture,
curtain, etc.).
3. If the condition persists, switch to an alternate
source of oxygen and contact your healthcare provid-
er immediately.
