To clean the filter on a 3B Medical Stratus 5 unit:
1. Unplug the device before cleaning. 2. Remove the air intake cover on the left side of the unit. 3. Take out the sponge mesh filter. 4. Rinse the filter thoroughly with clean water. 5. Allow the filter to air dry completely. 6. Once dry, replace the filter and reattach the air intake cover.
Tip: Having a second filter allows for quicker replacement while the first one dries.
Do not use the filter if it is wet or damaged; replace it immediately. Clean the filter weekly, or more often if needed.

How do you get it to continuously give oxygen and not do the bursts of air making a hissing like sound every few seconds?

The 3B Medical Stratus 5 provides continuous flow oxygen by default and does not have a burst or pulse setting. It delivers a steady flow of oxygen based on the flow rate set on the flow meter. To adjust the flow, use the oxygen flow meter to set the prescribed liters per minute (LPM).

The low alarms on the 3B Medical Stratus 5 could be caused by:
1. Low oxygen purity (less than 82%) — indicated by a red LED and continuous audible alarm. 2. Low flow rate — even if oxygen flow is increased, the output may still be too low due to a kinked cannula, blocked outlet, or loose humidifier cap. 3. Sensor failure — NTC temperature sensor error can trigger alarms. 4. Power supply issues — voltage below 85% of rated can cause malfunction.
Check for obstructions, tighten connections, and verify oxygen purity and power supply.

The low alarm on a 3B Medical Stratus 5 could activate after 5 minutes, even when the O3 flow is increased, due to low oxygen output flow. This may be caused by:
- Blockage or restriction in the tubing or flow path - Oxygen purity falling below 82% - Sensor errors or malfunction - High temperature or pressure abnormalities
Adjusting the flow-meter or checking for blockages may help. If the issue persists, contact a healthcare professional.

A low alarm beeping after 5 minutes on the 3B Medical Stratus 5 may indicate high temperature rise, high or low pressure, temperature sensor error, low flow, or low oxygen purity. The alarm is typically accompanied by a red or yellow LED and a sound level of 60–80 dB.

• If you feel your oxygen therapy is not sufficient please contact your physician. DO NOT attempt to change your prescribed liter flow. • The power plug must be unplugged while the Stratus 5 concentrator is not in use. • Contact the physician immediately, if the patient or caregiver finds insufficient oxygen supply.

• Do not touch the oxygen concentrator while wet. Do not use or store this oxygen concentrator near liquids or other electrically conductive materials. • Do not touch the Stratus 5 if it should fall into water or other conductive liquid. If this should occur, unplug the power cord immediately.
The device is not intended to be life supporting or life sustaining. About Stratus 5 The Stratus 5 produces concentrated oxygen from room air for delivery to a patient requiring low flow oxygen therapy. The oxygen from the air is concentrated using a molecular sieve and a pressure swing adsorption process.
• Operating Temperature: 50-99° F • Operating Relative Humidity: 20%RH-65%RH • Operating Pressure atmosphere: 80kPa ~ 101kPa • The operating environment should be dry and well ventilated. The Stratus 5 should never be run in environments that are dusty. Avoid electromagnetic interference when possible...
If the grid is unstable, please install a voltage regulator before use. • The optimal temperature of the environment for Stratus 5 is 50-99°F. Below 50°F, compressor start-up may be difficult. Above 99°F, the compressor may overheat and shorten the service life of the compressor.
STR1005 User Manual Chapter 3: Operating Instructions Warning: Do not use extension cords or electrical adapters. 1. Select a location that allows the concentrator to draw in room air without being restricted. Make sure that the device is at least 12 inches away from walls, furniture, curtains that could impede adequate airflow to the device.
