Page 5: Principles Of Operation
SPECIAL NOTES Principles of Operation The oxygen conserving regulator is designed to be used with high pressure oxygen systems. It consists of a cylinder connection, cylinder contents gauge (if equipped), high to low pressure regulator, orifice plate and a conserving demand module. The regulator reduces the high pressure of the cylinder to the working pressure of the orifice plate. The orifice plate uses calibrated orifices to deliver a selected flow to the conserving demand module. The conserving demand module controls the pulse size and timing to the patient. It supplies a pulse of oxygen at the beginning of each breath. This reduces the oxygen demand on the system and limits the drying of the airways. The flow is determined by setting the flow control knob to the prescribed flow. The oxygen is supplied to the patient though the cannula. DANGER DO NOT SMOKE while using this device. Keep all matches, lit cigarettes or other sources of ignition out of the room in which this product is located and away from where oxygen is being delivered. NO SMOKING signs should be prominently displayed. Textiles and other materials that normally would not burn are easily ignited and burn with great intensity in oxygen enriched air. Failure to observe this warning can result in severe fire, property damage and cause physical injury or death. Part No 1160840 Invacare® Element™... -
Page 6: Introduction
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The oxygen conserving regulator includes a combination of low‐pressure regulator and an oxygen conserver, designed for use with a cylinder as an ambulatory oxygen system. It is capable of delivering a precise amount of supplemental oxygen at the optimal point in the breathing cycle. The conserver greatly increases the efficiency in the delivery of oxygen, maximizing the beneficial effects and eliminating unnecessary oxygen waste. When we breathe, approximately one‐third of the time is spent inhaling and two‐thirds exhaling. As a result, oxygen delivered by continuous flow is wasted during exhalation. By eliminating oxygen flow during exhalation, a two‐thirds savings is possible. Additionally, the oxygen available during the very first part of inhalation contributes mostly to meet oxygen needs. The oxygen conserving regulator takes advantage of these facts to provide maximum efficiency in the delivery of oxygen. This device is designed to be an integral component of a lightweight, long‐lasting ambulatory oxygen system. Invacare® Element™ Part No 1160840... -

SECTION 4—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SECTION 4—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DANGER NEVER smoke in an area where oxygen is being administered. NEVER use near any type of flame or flammable/explosive substances, vapors or atmosphere. CAUTION DO NOT use pediatric, low flow nasal cannulas or oxygen masks with the oxygen conserving regulator. DO NOT block the cannula connection or kink cannula tubing when the oxygen conserving regulator is in use. This may damage the oxygen conserving regulator. 1. Prior to each use, inspect product for visible damage. DO NOT use if any damage is found. WARNING DO NOT direct flow of oxygen at any person, or flammable material when adjusting the flow dial. 2. Turn the selector switch on the oxygen conserving regulator to the “0” OFF position before opening the cylinder valve. Refer to FIGURE 4.2 on page 17. 3. To reduce the risk of rapid oxygen recompression and fire, open the cylinder valve slowly and completely so the pressure gauge moves slowly as it indicates the cylinder pressure. Invacare® Element™ Part No 1160840... - Page 15 SECTION 4—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4. Listen for leaks. If a leak is present, close the cylinder valve, check the CGA870 seal washer, and reinstall. If the leak persists, DO NOT use the equipment. Contact your Home Care Provider for repair. 5. Check the oxygen pressure gauge to verify the cylinder pressure. 6. Ensure that the vent hole on the side of the unit is not obstructed. 7. Position the cylinder so the oxygen cylinder valve outlet is pointing away from the user and any other person(s). 8. Attach a standard adult single lumen oxygen nasal cannula, no longer than seven feet to the product’s outlet fitting. DO NOT use pediatric, low flow nasal cannulas or oxygen masks with this product. NOTE: A unit without cannula attached may pulse if set at position 1‐6. 9. Place the cannula over your ears and position the prongs in your nose according to the cannula manufacturer’s instructions, or as instructed by your Health Care provider. Refer to FIGURE 4.1.

- Page 16 SECTION 4—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING NO OXYGEN is delivered in between settings. To obtain desired flow, the indicating pointer MUST align with a specific number on the dial. To avoid injury to patient, ALWAYS confirm prescribed setting before administering to patient and monitor flow on a frequent basis. 10. Turn the selector switch until indicating pointer is aligned with the prescribed setting. Refer to FIGURE 4.2 on page 17. NOTE: The continuous flow setting (CF) is designed for emergency use only. The amount of oxygen delivered when using the oxygen conserving regulator in continuous flow mode is preset to 2 L/min. (liters per minute). Remember that in this mode the oxygen will be consumed at a much faster rate. Return to another source before running out of oxygen. Refer to FIGURE 4.2 on page 17. WARNING When pointer on contents gauge enters red zone, it is recommended to replace or refill the cylinder. 11. Breathe through the nose and feel a pulse of oxygen as you inhale. NOTE: When on a pulse setting, there is flow or a pulse only at the beginning of each breath. If you do not feel the pulse at the beginning of each breath, check the setting. If there is still no pulse, turn dial to 2 L/min. continuous setting. Refer to FIGURE 4.2 on page 17. NOTE: Because each patient’s breathing pattern is different and the environment varies, it may be difficult to feel some low setting pulses. Invacare® Element™ Part No 1160840...
