SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
In order to ensure the safe installation, assembly and operation of the Platinum concentrator these instructions MUST be followed.
WARNING
This section contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product. To Reduce the Risk of Burns,
Electrocution, Fire or Injury to Persons
DANGER
Risk of electric shock. DO NOT disassemble. Refer servicing
to qualified service personnel. No user serviceable parts.
Avoid using while bathing. If continuous usage is required
by the physician’s prescription, the concentrator MUST be
located in another room at least 7 ft from the bath.
DO NOT come in contact with the concentrator while wet.
DO NOT place or store product where it can drop into
water or other liquid.
DO NOT reach for product that has fallen into water.
Unplug IMMEDIATELY.
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 technician for
examination and repair.
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 recommended by Invacare.
Avoid creation of any spark near medical oxygen
equipment. This includes sparks from static electricity
created by any type of friction.

Part No 1118353
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Operating Information
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. Keep the oxygen tubing, cord, and unit out from under such items as blankets, bed coverings, chair cushions, clothing and away from heated or hot surfaces, including space heaters, stoves and similar electrical appliances. DO NOT move or relocate concentrator by pulling on the power cord.
NEVER drop or insert any object or liquid into any opening.
Invacare recommends that Crush‐Proof oxygen tubing be used with this product and not exceed 15.2 m (50 ft) in length.
There are no user serviceable parts. This does not include normal maintenance items. See maintenance section for user maintenance items.
A product should NEVER be left unattended when plugged in. Make sure the Platinum is Off when not in use.
Close supervision is necessary when this product is used near children or physically‐challenged individuals.
Additional monitoring or attention may be required for patients using this device who are unable to hear or see alarms or communicate discomfort. DO NOT connect the concentrator in parallel or series with other oxygen concentrators or oxygen therapy devices.
Radio Frequency Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with EMC limits specified by IEC/EN 60601‐1‐2. These limits are designed to provide a reasonable protection against electromagnetic interference in a typical medical installation.
Part No 1118353
9
Platinum™ Series
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Other devices may experience interference from even the low levels of electromagnetic emissions permitted by the above standards. To determine if the emissions from the Platinum is causing the interference, turn the Platinum Off. If the interference with the other device(s) stops, then the Platinum is causing the interference. In such rare cases, interference may be reduced or corrected by one of the following measures:
• Reposition, relocate, or increase the separation between the equipment.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other device(s) is connected.

SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SECTION 5—OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use indoors. It is an electronically operated device that separates oxygen from room air. It provides high concentration of oxygen directly to you through a nasal cannula. Clinical studies have documented that oxygen concentrators are therapeutically equivalent to other types of oxygen delivery systems.
Your provider will show you how to use your oxygen concentrator. He/She should be contacted with any questions or problems regarding your oxygen concentrator. This owner’s manual will tell you about your concentrator and will serve as a reference as you use your concentrator.
Select a Location
WARNING
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.
Keep unit at least 3 inches away from walls, draperies, furniture, and the like.
You may select a room where using your oxygen concentrator would be most convenient. Your concentrator can be easily rolled from room to room on its casters.
The air intake of the unit should be located in a well ventilated area to avoid airborne pollutants and/or fumes. DO NOT place in a closet.

Plug in power cord to an electrical outlet.
POLARIZED PLUG WARNING
As a safety feature, this appliance may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Connect Humidifier (If So Prescribed)
WARNING
DO NOT overfill humidifier.
DO NOT reverse the oxygen input and output connections. Water from the humidifier bottle will travel through the cannula back to the patient.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.1, FIGURE 5.2 and FIGURE 5.3 on page 18 and FIGURE 5.4 on page 19.
NOTE: For Platinum 5, XL ‐ recommended humidifiers are: Invacare 3260, 003‐40, or 006‐40. For Platinum 10, recommended humidifiers are high flow: 7900‐10, 7900‐25.
1. Remove cap and fill humidifier bottle with distilled water to the level indicated by the manufacturer.
2. Replace the humidifier cap and securely tighten. Humidifier Bottle

Flowrate
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.6 on page 20.
1. Turn the flowrate knob to the setting prescribed by your physician or therapist.
CAUTION
Never set the flow greater than 5 L/min on the IRC5. Never set the flow greater than 10L/min on the IRC10.
WARNING
DO NOT change the L/min setting on the flowmeter unless a change has been prescribed by your physician or therapist.
NOTE: To properly read the flowmeter, locate the prescribed flowrate line on the flowmeter. Next, turn the flow knob until the ball rises to the line. Now, center the ball on the L/min. line prescribed. 2. If the flowrate on the flowmeter ever falls below 0.5 L/min for Platinum 5 (1 L/min for Platinum 10) for more than about one minute, the LOW FLOW alarm will be triggered. This is a rapid beeping of the audible alarm. Check your tubing or accessories for blocked or kinked tubing or a defective humidifier bottle. After rated flow is restored, more than 0.5 L/min for Platinum 5 (1 L/min for Platinum 10), the LOW FLOW audible alarm will go off.
NOTE: The use of some accessories such as the pediatric flowstand and the HomeFill compressor will deactivate the Low Flow Alarm.
