WARNING
SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains
important information for the safe operation and use of
this product.
In order to ensure the safe installation, assembly and operation of the Platinum concentrator these instructions MUST be followed.
CAUTION
“Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale or rental by or on order of a physician, or any other practitioner licensed by the law of the governmental agency in which he/she practices to use or order the use of this device.”
DANGER
Risk of electric shock. DO NOT disassemble. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

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.

Part No 1134866
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 2.1 m (7 ft.) from the bath.
DO NOT come in contact with the concentrator while wet.
A product should NEVER be left unattended when plugged in.
DO NOT place or store product where it can drop into water or other liquid.
Part No 1134866

Platinum™
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.

Unpacking
1. Check for any obvious damage to the carton or its contents. If damage is evident, notify the carrier, or Invacare.
2. Remove all loose packing from the carton.
3. Carefully remove all the components from the carton.
NOTE: Retain carton and packing materials for storage of the Platinum. Inspection
1. Examine exterior of the oxygen concentrator for nicks, dents, scratches or other damages. Inspect all components.
Storage
1. Store the repackaged oxygen concentrator in a dry area.
2. DO NOT place other objects on top of the repackaged concentrator.

INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use in the home. 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
You may select a room in your house where using your oxygen concentrator would be most convenient. Your concentrator can be easily rolled from room to room on its casters.
Your oxygen concentrator will perform best when operated under the following conditions. Usage in environments other than those described may result in the need for increased equipment maintenance. The air intake of the unit should be located in a well ventilated area to avoid airborne pollutants and/or fumes.

SECTION 6—MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The Invacare concentrators are specifically designed to minimize routine preventive maintenance. In places with high dust or soot levels, maintenance may need to be performed more often. Only authorized or factory‐trained personnel should perform preventive maintenance on the concentrator. Power should be disconnected before beginning preventive maintenance on the Invacare concentrator.
NOTE: At a minimum, preventive maintenance MUST be performed according to the maintenance record guidelines. Refer to Preventive Maintenance Record on page 30.
Routine Maintenance
NOTE: The following routine maintenance should be performed more frequently. See recommended intervals in each section and preventive maintenance record. Cleaning the Cabinet Filter
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 6.1 on page 29. CAUTION
DO NOT operate the concentrator without the filters
installed.
NOTE: There are two cabinet filters. One filter located on each side of the cabinet.
1. Remove each filter and clean at least once a week depending on environmental conditions.
NOTE: Environmental conditions that may require more frequent cleaning of the filters include but are not limited to: high dust, smoking, air pollutants, etc.
2. Clean the cabinet filters with a vacuum cleaner or wash in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
