The LM5BA Oxygen Concentrator delivers oxygen at a rate of 1-5 L/min with an oxygen concentration of 93%±2%. It is designed to be used with accessories like cannulas, humidifiers, and adapters specified by Rhythm Healthcare. However, the manual does not specify whether it can support two simultaneous oxygen lines effectively. Running two lines at the same time might reduce the oxygen flow per line, potentially affecting performance. There is no mention of needing to shut down one line at a time, but for proper usage and efficiency, it is best to consult the provider.

To get started with the Rhythm Healthcare LM5BA Oxygen Concentrator:

1. Plug in the device to a proper power outlet (AC115V/60Hz or AC230V/50Hz).
2. Attach accessories such as the nasal cannula, humidifier, or humidifier adapter if needed.
3. Insert filter(s): If a second filter is provided, insert the replacement filter first. Clean the dirty filter with warm soap and water, dry thoroughly, and reinstall.
4. Use the control panel to turn on and adjust settings. It is user-friendly.
5. Monitor alarms for temperature, oxygen purity, pressure, power failure, or blockage.
6. Ensure proper ventilation and place the unit in a well-ventilated area.
7. Contact your provider for guidance on accessory use, cleaning, and maintenance.

Note: The device is not life-sustaining and should be used as prescribed.
