Suggested Patient Setup

1. Position the unit near an electrical outlet in the room
where the patient spends most of his or her time.
NOTE – Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by
a wall switch.The outlet should be independent of other appli-
ances.
2. Locate the unit a minimum of five feet (1.5 meters) from
fireplaces, radiators, heaters, and hot-air registers.
3. Position the unit at least 6 inches (15 centimeters) from
walls, draperies, or any other objects that might prevent
the proper flow of air in and out of the oxygen
concentrator.
WARNING—Oxygen promotes rapid burning. Do
not smoke when using this unit or when near a person
receiving oxygen therapy. Do not operate the oxygen
concentrator within a minimum of five feet (1.5 meters)
from hot, sparking, or burning objects or naked flames.
Do not use in rooms heated by paraffin or portable gas
heaters.
WARNING—Electric Shock Hazard. Only qualified
Sunrise Medical homecare providers may remove the
cabinet.
4. Attach the appropriate oxygen accessories (oxygen tubing
or humidifier) to the oxygen outlet.
NOTE – A maximum of 50 feet (15 meters) of tubing (plus 3
feet (1meter) cannula) is allowed between the concentrator and
the patient.

If the physician has prescribed an oxygen humidifier as part of
the patient's therapy, follow these steps:

Oxygen Concentrator has a preset nominal output pressure of
8.5 PSI (60 kPa). Use only "bubble-type" humidifiers. Do not use
"jet-type" humidifiers.
NOTE—Condensation from the humidifier may occur in
longer lengths of tubing or if the tubing is laying on a cold floor.
This can be reduced by using a removable humidifier stand
(part #MC44DM-509).
