Page 8 SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES WARNINGS The use of oxygen therapy requires that special care be taken to reduce the risk of fire. Any materials that will burn in air, and some that will not, are easily ignited and burn rapidly in high concentrations of oxygen. For safety concerns, it is necessary that all sources of ignition be kept away from the product and preferably out of the room in which it is being used. NO SMOKING signs should be prominently displayed. A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease or greasy substances come in contact with oxygen under pressure. These substances MUST be kept away from the oxygen concentrator, tubing and connections, and all other oxygen equipment. DO NOT use any lubricants unless expressly recommended by Invacare. For optimum performance, Invacare recommends that each concentrator be on and running for a minimum of 30 minutes at a time. Shorter periods of operation may reduce maximum product life. If the concentrator has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water, call Qualified Service Personnel for examination and repair. Keep the oxygen tubing, cord, and unit away from heated or hot surfaces, including space heaters, blankets, stoves and similar electrical appliances. DO NOT move or relocate concentrator by pulling on the cord. NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening. NEVER block the air openings of the product or place it on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air opening may be blocked. Keep the openings free from lint, hair and the like.

Page 9: Maintenance
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Fill humidifier with water to the level shown by the manufacturer. DO NOT overfill. Keep unit at least 7.5 cm (3 in) away from walls, draperies, furniture, and the like. Invacare recommends that Crushproof oxygen tubing (supplied by Invacare) be used with this product and NOT exceed 15.2 m (50 ft) in length. Recommended use for Platinum 9 is up to 15.2 m (50 ft) in length of high flow tubing. Maintenance The Invacare Oxygen Concentrator was specifically designed to minimize routine preventive maintenance at intervals of once per year. Only professionals of the healthcare field or persons fully conversant with this process such as authorized or factory trained personnel should perform preventive maintenance or performance adjustments on the oxygen concentrator. Radio Frequency Interference Most electronic equipment is influenced by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Caution should be exercised with regard to the use of portable communications equipment in the area around such equipment. To Reduce The Risk Of Burns, Electrocution, Fire Or Injury To Persons Avoid using while bathing. If continuous usage is required by the physician’s prescription: The concentrator must be located in another room at least ...

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES DO NOT reach for product that has fallen into water. Unplug IMMEDIATELY. This device is to be used only in accordance with the prescription of a physician and this Owners Manual. If at any time the patient or attendant conclude that the patient is receiving an insufficient amount of oxygen, the supplier and/or physician should be contacted IMMEDIATELY. No adjustments should be made to the flowrate unless prescribed by a physician. Close supervision is necessary when this product is used near children or physically‐challenged individuals. Use this product for only intended use as described in this manual. DO NOT connect the concentrator in parallel or series with other oxygen concentrators or oxygen therapy devices. Use of some administration accessories or certain humidifiers not specified for use with oxygen concentrator may impair the performance. In certain circumstances oxygen therapy can be hazardous. Invacare recommends that you seek medical advice before using this machine. This equipment is to be used as an oxygen supplement and is not considered life supporting or life sustaining. Avoid creation of any spark near medical oxygen equipment. This includes sparks from static electricity created by any type of friction. Oxygen Concentration Take care not to set the flow above RED ring. An oxygen flow greater than 5 L/min. (IRC5LXO2AW, IRC5LXAW, IRC5LXO2AWQ) and 9 L/min. (IRC9LXO2AWQ) will decrease the oxygen concentration. Platinum™ Part No 1134866...
