Setting Up The Concentrator; Setting Up The Humidifier Bottle (If Prescribed) - Invacare Platinum P5NXG1 User Manual

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with EMC limits specified by IEC/EN 60601-1-2 for Type BF
equipment. These limits are determined to provide reasonable protection against electromagnetic interference in
a typical home healthcare environment. Use of this equipment in an environment with higher levels of
interference could affect the accuracy of the oxygen concentration being delivered. This equipment is not
intended for use in a professional healthcare environment.
Other devices may experience interference from even the low levels of electromagnetic emissions permitted by
the above standards. To determine if the emissions from the concentrator are causing the interference, turn the
concentrator Off. If the interference with the other device(s) stops, then the concentrator may becausing the
interference. In such rare cases, interference may be reduced or corrected by one of the following measures:
Reposition, relocate, or increase the separation between the equipment.
l
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other
l
device(s) is connected.

5.4.1 Setting up the Humidifier Bottle (If Prescribed)

WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
To avoid burns from steam or hot water, inhalation of water and/or water damage to the concentrator:
-DO NOT fill humidifier bottle with hot water.
-DO NOT overfill humidifier bottle.
-Replace the humidifier bottle cap and securely tighten. Confirm that the cap is not cross-threaded on
the humidifier bottle.
-DO NOT reverse the oxygen input and output connections. Water from the humidifier bottle will travel
through the cannula back to the patient if input and output connections are reversed.
-When using tubing connections longer than 7 ft (2.1 m) in length, position the humidifier bottle as close
to the patient as possible to allow for maximum humidification output.
The humidifier bottle delivers humidified air to the patient. Air will flow out
of the concentrator oxygen outlet port, through the humidifier bottle
adapter tube, into the humidifier bottle, and out the humidifier bottle
outlet port to the patient.
