6.3.4 Flowrate

WARNING!
Risk of Minor Injury or Discomfort
It is very important to select the prescribed
oxygen flow setting. This will ensure you will
receive the therapeutic amount of oxygen
according to your medical condition.
– DO NOT increase or decrease the L/min flow
setting unless a change has been prescribed by
your physician or therapist.
– The therapeutic effectiveness of the prescribed
oxygen flow setting should be periodically
reassessed.
– Use only the tubing and accessories that were
used to determine the prescribed oxygen flow
setting.

1. Turn the flowrate knob A to the setting prescribed by
your physician or therapist.
To properly read the flowmeter B, locate the
prescribed flowrate line on the flowmeter. Next,
turn the flow knob until the ball C rises to the
line. Now, center the ball on the L/min line
prescribed.
2. If the flowrate on the flowmeter ever falls below 0.5
L/min for more than about one minute, the Potential
Obstruction Alert will be triggered. This is a rapid
beeping of the audible alarm. Check your tubing or
accessories for blocked or kinked tubing or a defective
humidifier bottle. After rated flow is restored to
between 0.5 L/min and 0.75 L/min, the Potential
Obstruction Alert will turn off.
A Potential Obstruction Alert indicates a condition
that may be associated with a partial or complete
obstruction of oxygen output.
The use of some accessories and the HomeFill
compressor will deactivate the Potential Obstruction
Alert.
