Optional Accessories

Visit us at www.CAIREmedical.com for more information about optional
accessories. There are many different types of oxygen tubing, cannula,
and humidifiers. The following items are recommended by CAIRE Inc.
for use with the eQuinox.
Salter Labs® Humidifier, Part Number HU003-1, or equivalent:
If your physician has prescribed an optional humidifier, follow the
manufacturer's instructions for use. Attach the humidifier to the
oxygen outlet port of the eQuinox. Use of optional humidifiers not
recommended for the eQuinox may impair performance of the device
and may void the warranty.
DO NOT use a humidifier in the Pulse Flow Mode. The eQuinox will
not detect inspiratory effort. The device will alarm and default to the
Continuous Flow Mode for continuing operation after 15 seconds.
CAIRE Humidifier Adapter – Part Number 7116-SEQ: If your
physician has prescribed an optional humidifier, you may need to use
the CAIRE Humidifier Adapter. Follow the instructions for use. Attach
the Humidifier Adapter to the oxygen outlet port of the eQuinox and
then to the humidifier. Attach the cannula, or oxygen tubing to the
humidifier outlet.
Salter Labs Oxygen Supply Tubing, Part Number Series 2000, or
equivalent: The internal diameter should be no less than 3/16" (0.48
cm). Connect the oxygen tubing to the outlet port of the humidifier,
or directly to the oxygen outlet port of the eQuinox if you do not use
a humidifier. Connect the other end of the tube to the nasal cannula,
if oxygen supply tubing is not already attached to the cannula. Tubing
not specified for use with this eQuinox may impair the performance of
the device.
Salter Labs Oxygen Cannula, Part Number 1600 Series, or
equivalent: Your physician will have prescribed a cannula to deliver
oxygen. In most cases they are already attached to the oxygen tubing.
If not, follow the instructions included with the cannula to attach it to
the oxygen tubing. Use of an oxygen cannula not specified for use with
this eQuinox may impair the performance of the device.
