Respironics EverFlo Oxygen Concentrator User Manual

The EverFlo Oxygen Concentrator is designed to provide supplemental oxygen to persons requiring oxygen therapy. The device is intended for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network. The device produces concentrated oxygen from room air for delivery to a patient requiring low flow oxygen therapy. The oxygen from the air is concentrated using a molecular sieve and a pressure swing adsorption process.

Caution! U.S. federal ku restricts this deuice to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Warnings
A warning representsthe possibi/it1 ofharm to the opemtor or patient.
'
For proper operation, your concentrator rcquires unobstructed
ventilation. The ventilation ports are located at the rear
baseof the device and at the side air inlet filter. Keep the device at least 6 to l2 inches (15 to 30 cm) away from walls,
furniture, and especiallycurtajns that could impcde adequate airflow to the device. Do not place rhe concentrator rn a

Frequently asked questions

To turn on the EverFlo Oxygen Concentrator, simply press the power switch to the On position. The device will initially beep for a few seconds, and then only the green LED should remain lit. You can begin breathing from the device immediately, even though it typically takes 10 minutes to reach oxygen purity specifications.

To adjust the flow rate of the EverFlo Oxygen Concentrator, turn the knob on the top of the flow meter until the ball is centered on the line marking the specific flow rate.

If the EverFlo Oxygen Concentrator alarm sounds, immediately turn off the device and contact your home care provider. The alarm may indicate a system malfunction, an impeded oxygen flow condition, or a low oxygen condition. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in the manual for specific instructions on how to address the problem.

To clean the EverFlo Oxygen Concentrator, use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior case. If you use medical disinfectants, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. If you are using a humidifier, clean your device according to your home care provider's or manufacturer's instructions.
