INTRODUCTION
The OXYMATIC 400 Series electronic oxygen conservers include a combination of a low-pressure regulator and an oxygen conserver, designed for use with ambulatory oxygen systems. They are capable of delivering a precise amount of supplemental oxygen at the optimal point in the breathing cycle. Operationally, the OXYMATIC
400 Series conservers greatly increase efficiency in the delivery of oxygen, maximizing the beneficial effects and eliminating unnecessary oxygen waste.
When we breathe, approximately one-third of the time is spent inhaling and twothirds exhaling. As a result, oxygen delivered by continuous flow is wasted during exhalation. By eliminating oxygen flow during exhalation, a two-thirds savings is possible. Additionally, the oxygen available during the very first part of inhalation contributes most to meeting oxygen needs. The OXYMATIC 400 Series conservers take advantage of these facts to provide maximum efficiency in the delivery of oxygen. This device is designed to be an integral component of a lightweight, longlasting ambulatory oxygen system.

• Battery Test Indicator: The OXYMATIC 400 Series conserver incorporates a visual indicator light (multi-color LED) that monitors the battery energy level inside the unit by displaying three colors.
1) Green- adequate battery energy level for operation.
2) Amber - lower battery energy level but still in the operational range.
3) Red - low battery energy level. A spare C-size alkaline battery should be readily available.
4) Flashing Red - Replace battery immediately.
• Cylinder Adjustment Knob: This is used to attach the unit to any post valve cylinder.
DESCRIPTION OF PARTS & CONTROLS
• Selector Switch: This enables the user to select the prescribed setting
(1-6). It also enables the user to monitor the battery energy level. When not in use, the switch should be turned to the “OFF” position.
• Battery Holder: This compartment holds one (1) C-size alkaline battery.
• Oxygen Pressure Gauge: This enables the user to monitor the contents of the compressed oxygen cylinder.
• Oxygen Supply Outlet: Use this fitting to attach a standard cannula.
• Cylinder Alignment Pins: When assembling the unit, these parallel pins must go in the holes on the post-valve.
• CGA Seal (Gasket, FR-870G, brass and viton) or equivalent: This creates the interface between the post-valve and the OXYMATIC 400 Series conserver. Besides offering a rugged interface, it also surrounds the oxygen path in a ring of stainless steel or brass.
WARNING: Use only a manufacturer specified gasket.

NOTE: Remember that in this mode the oxygen will be consumed at a much faster rate. Return to another source before depleting the oxygen cylinder.
CAUTION: The Bypass Switch is designed for emergency use only. In the event that it is necessary to operate the unit in this continuous flow mode, DO NOT obstruct the flow of oxygen from the Oxygen Supply Outlet by placing your finger over the outlet or blocking the flow through the oxygen tubing in any way. Doing so may render the unit inoperable and/or damage the sensor in the unit.
*
NOTE: Models 401, 401A, and 411A are permanently preset at 2 lpm. Model 411AF is factory preset at 2 lpm and adjustable between .5 and 6 lpm by your home care provider.
ASSEMBLY AND USE
• Make certain that your hands are free of oil, grease, and other contaminants.
• Inspect the unit to insure that it has a CGA 870 brass and viton (or equivalent) gasket in good working condition attached to the inlet nozzle.
• Secure the cylinder in an upright position.
• Inspect the post-valve of the cylinder and the OXYMATIC 400 Series conserver to ensure they are free of contaminants. If any indication of damage or contamination is detected, DO NOT use the equipment and contact your Homecare Provider.
WARNING: Use ONLY a manufacturer specified gasket. Other gaskets may not be oxygen compatible and may cause an oxygen leak, creating an increased fire risk.
NON-PORTABLE USE:
The OXYMATIC 400 Series conserver is designed to extend the life of portable oxygen supplies when away from the primary source. While the OXYMATIC 400 Series conserver may be used with stationary oxygen sources, the unit should be used only while awake and reasonably attentive. The OXYMATIC 400 Series conserver is not intended for use while asleep because in the unlikely event of operational malfunction or dislodging of the cannula the user could be unaware and not make the necessary corrections. If a unit is required for use during sleep, the LOTUS Model 700S (with alarm) should be used.

*
NOTE: The OXYMATIC 400 Series conserver is packaged with a battery inside. A special seal is used at the positive terminal to prevent battery oxidation. If it has not already been removed by your Homecare Provider, be sure to remove the seal when using the unit for the first time.
• Close the battery holder cover by snapping it back into place.
• Verify battery is charged by turning the selector switch to the “BATT” position.
*
NOTE: The battery indicator light is inoperative except when the selector switch is in the “BATT” position; however, the red light will flash in any setting if the battery needs to be replaced. Always check the battery energy level before using. With normal use of 8-12 hours per day, a battery should last about 4 weeks.
ASSEMBLY AND USE
INSTALLING THE SYSTEM:
• Loosen the cylinder attachment knob.
• Lower the OXYMATIC 400 Series conserver over any post-valve cylinder with the alignment pins toward the holes on the cylinder neck [Fig. F].
• Line the two pins and gasket with the corresponding holes on the cylinder post valve.
• While holding the unit in place, tighten the cylinder adjustment knob by turning clockwise
[Fig. F].
• Attach a standard cannula to the oxygen supply outlet.
FIGURE F

Series conserver to the cylinder
*
NOTE: Tighten only by hand. The use of a tool to tighten the knob may damage the unit.
CAUTION: If you are unable to eliminate leaks by manually tightening the cylinder adjustment knob, replace the CGA 870 gasket. If leaks persist, the unit must be returned for service.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
• Make sure the bypass switch is set to Pulse Mode.
• To reduce the risk of rapid oxygen recompression and fire, open the cylinder valve slowly and completely so that the pressure gauge moves slowly as it indicates the cylinder pressure.
• Listen for leaks. If a leak is present, close the cylinder valve, check the CGA seal, and reinstall. If the leak persists, DO NOT USE THE EQUIPMENT. Contact your supplier for repair.

ASSEMBLY AND USE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
continued
:
• Turn the setting selector knob to the “BATT” position. Check the battery indicator:
1) Green - Good
2) Amber - Consider replacing the battery.
3) Red, Flashing Red, or No Indicator - Replace the battery.
• Select the setting on the OXYMATIC 400 Series conserver (1-6) that corresponds to the appropriate delivery setting.
• Place the nasal cannula into position with the prongs in the nostrils and begin breathing.
The OXYMATIC 400 Series conserver will now start to deliver the oxygen. The frequency of delivery is determined by the setting and the model number. A pulse of oxygen will not necessarily be delivered with every breath (see tables 1 and 2 on page 13 for specific oxygen delivery specifications). A “click” sound may be heard each time the unit delivers a pulse of oxygen. Adequate oxygen delivery will be achieved because of the precise time in the breathing cycle that the pulse of oxygen is delivered.
*
NOTE: To help prevent possible damage to the unit, keep the OXYMATIC 400 Series conserver in its carrying bag.
Figure G shows the OXYMATIC 400 Series carrying bag designed for use with M6(B) (164 liters) cylinder or M9(C) cylinder (246 liters).
FIGURE G
Carrying Bag
• When finished using the system, turn off the oxygen supply cylinder valve and continue breathing through the nasal cannula until no further oxygen is detected.
• Remove the nasal cannula and turn the selector switch to the “OFF” position.
• When not in use, store in a clean, dry location.
OXYGEN CYLINDER DURATION
Because the total delivery of oxygen via the OXYMATIC 400 Series conserver is related to breathing rates, it is user adaptive in that total oxygen delivered per minute will automatically adjust with user need - as expressed by increased or decreased breathing rates. For example, at all settings twice as much oxygen per minute will be delivered if one breathes twenty (20) times per minute as compared with ten (10) times per minute. Table 1 provides useful information to be used as a guide. (Please refer to your specific OXYMATIC model number for device specifications.)
