Safety Features:

Ø
Compressor Motor: Thermal safety is ensured by a thermostat
situated in the stator winding (135°C / 275 °F). A safety relief valve
is fitted to the compressor outlet and is calibrated to 280 kPa (40
psig).
Ø
Power Failure: In the event the unit is operating and a loss of
power occurs, an audible single – pulse intermittent alarm will
activate.
Ø
Oxygen Monitor: The oxygen monitor detects any drop in
concentration below 82% (±3%) and activates a visual alarm
(amber LED indicator on front panel). If the concentration continues
to operate below 82%, an audible 2 – pulse intermittent alarm will
also activate.
Ø
Hi Pressure: An over-pressure safety feature prevents potential
damage to device components at a pressure of 228 kPa (33 psig (±
2 psig)). An audible 4-pulse intermittent alarm will activate.
Ø
Low Pressure: An audible 3- pulse intermittent alarm will activate if
the device pressure reduces to ≤ 35 kPa (5 psig (± 1 psig)).
Ø
No Flow Warning: An obstruction to the flow of oxygen, such as a
pinch or kink in the delivery cannula, will activate an audible 6-
pulse intermittent alarm.
Ø Product Filter: ≥ 10 µm filter

How To Operate Your Oxygen Concentrator

Review the following information before you operate your oxygen concentrator.

Humidifier Bottle

(Optional)
If additional humidification is required with your oxygen therapy, perform
the following steps each time you fill or clean the humidifier, which may
have been initially set up for your use.

The concentrator releases warm air out the bottom of the unit
which can permanently discolor temperature sensitive flooring
surfaces such as vinyl. The concentrator should not be used over
flooring that is sensitive to heat staining. AirSep is not responsible
for flooring that becomes discolored.
Remove the humidifier bottle from the humidifier bottle recess.
Open the humidifier bottle. If you have a pre-filled bottle, do not
perform this step. Proceed to step 5.
Fill the humidifier bottle with cool or cold water (distilled water is
preferred) to the fill line indicated on the bottle. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
Re-connect the top cover to the humidifier bottle.
Place the humidifier bottle in the humidifier bottle recess on the
back of the concentrator and connect the humidifier bottle tubing to
the oxygen outlet and the humidifier bottle fitting.
If the humidifier bottle tubing is not properly connected to the
humidifier bottle fitting or to the oxygen outlet, an oxygen leak
can occur.
