product

Product Information

The OXYVET IV Oxygen Concentrator is a reliable and efficient device designed for supplemental low flow oxygen therapy. It is intended for use in various settings such as homes, nursing homes, and patient care facilities. The concentrator separates oxygen from room air to deliver high-purity supplemental oxygen to the user. It is electrically operated and does not affect the normal amount of oxygen in the room.

Important Safeguards

Danger! No smoking.
Warning! Seek medical advice before using the oxygen concentrator.
Caution! Follow instructions to prevent damage to the product.
Note! Pay special attention to important information highlighted throughout the guide.

Product Usage Instructions

Setting Up Your Oxygen Concentrator

Position the oxygen concentrator near an electrical outlet in the room where you spend most of your time.

Danger! Keep the oxygen concentrator at least 5 feet (1.6 m) away from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of flame.

Note! Do not connect the concentrator to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch. Connect it directly to a wall socket instead of an extension lead.

Position the unit at least 6 inches (16 cm) away from walls, draperies, or any other objects that may obstruct the flow of air in and out of the concentrator. Ensure it is located in an area free from pollutants or fumes.

Warning: Read instruction guide before operating this equipment.

Danger: No smoking.

SETTING UP YOUR OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR

Position your unit near an electrical outlet in the room where you spend most of your time.
- Danger: Keep the oxygen concentrator at least 5 feet (1.6 m) from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of fl ame.
- Note: Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch. Please connect directly to a wall socket rather than an extension lead.
Position your unit at least 6 inches (16 cm) from walls, draperies, or any other objects that might prevent the proper fl ow of air in and out of your oxygen concentrator. The Oxygen concentrator should be located so as to avoid pollutants or fumes.

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR

Before operating your unit always check to be sure the air filter (located on the back of your unit) is existed. Proper replace of this filter is discussed in the Caring for Your Concentrator section.
Attach the appropriate oxygen accessories to the oxygen outlet.

Oxygen Tubing Connection:

Attach the oxygen tubing directly to the connector (Figure 3).

Oxygen Tubing Connection with Humidification:

If your physician has prescribed an oxygen humidifier as part of therapy, follow these steps:

Fill the humidifier bottle with distilled water. Do not overfill.
Attach the oxygen tubing directly to the humidifi er bottle outlet fitting (Figure 4).

Your physician has prescribed either a nasal cannula, catheter, or face mask, in most cases, they are already attached to the oxygen tubing. If not, follow the manufacture’s instructions for attachment. Remove the power cord completely from the line cord strap. Make sure the power switch is in the “Off” position, and insert the plug into the wall outlet. The unit is double insulated to guard against electric shock.

Warning: Improper use of the power cord and plugs can cause a burn, fire or other electric shock hazards. Do not use the unit if the power cord is damaged.

OPERATING YOUR OXYVET IV OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR

Danger: Oxygen causes rapid burning. Do not smoke while your oxygen concentrator is operating, or when you are near a person utilizing oxygen therapy. Keep the oxygen concentrator at least 5 feet (1.6 m) from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of flame.

Press the power switch to the “On” position, when the unit is turned on, the power light will illuminate, and the patient alert system – “Service Required” light and audible signal — will briefly alarm.
- Note: If the “Service Required” light illuminates and the audible signal alarms but the unit is not operating, there is no power to the unit, refer to the Minor Troubleshooting chart not page 12 and contact EICKEMEYER® if necessary.
- If an audible low-frequency vibration sound is detected, the unit is not operating properly. Refer to the Minor Troubleshooting chart on page 12, and contact EICKEMEYER® if necessary.
Check the flow meter to make sure that the fl ow meter ball is centered on the line next to the prescribed number of your flow rate.

Caution: It is very important to follow your oxygen prescription. Do not increase or decrease the flow of oxygen-consult your physician.

Note

EICKEMEYER® may have preset the flow meter so that it can not be adjusted.
If the flow meter knob is turned clockwise, the flow decreases (and eventually will shut off the oxygen flow). If the knob is turned counterclockwise, the flow increases.

RESERVE OXYGEN SYSTEM

As a precaution, EICKEMEYER® may supply you with a reserve oxygen system. If your unit loses electrical power or fails to operate correctly, the patient Alert System will sound to signal you to switch to your reserve oxygen system (if provided) and contact EICKEMEYER®.

CARING AND PERIODIC MAINTENANCE FOR YOUR UNIT

Note: Use no lubricants, oils or grease.
Warning: Before attempting any cleaning procedures, turn the unit “off.”

Oxygen Humidifier (reusable Bottles)

For cleaning the oxygen humidifier please follow these steps:

Wash the humidifier in a solution of hot water and dishwashing detergent.
Soak the humidifier in a solution of one part white vinegar to three parts hot water for 30 minutes. This solution acts as a germicidal agent.
Rinse thoroughly with warm tap water and refi ll with distilled water for use. Do not overfill.

Cannula, Mask and Tubing

Clean and replace the cannula, mask, and tubing as instructed by EICKEMEYER®.

Air Filter and Oxygen Outlet Connector

The connector should be cleaned at least once a week. To clean, follow these steps:

Remove the oxygen outlet connector (if used).
Wash in a solution of warm water and dishwashing detergent.
Rinse thoroughly with warm tap water and towel dry. The filter should be completely dry before reinstalling.

Air filter need to be replaced after device operates each 3,000 hours. Air fi lter is disposable after used. Not replace the air filter regularly will affect the performance of concentration.

Caution: To prevent product damage, do not attempt to operate the unit without the air fi lter or while the filter is still damp.

Exterior Cabinet

Warning

To avoid electric shock, do not remove the concentrator cabinet. The cabinet should only be removed by a qualifi ed EICKEMEYER® technician. Do not apply liquid directly to the cabinet or utilize any petroleum-based solvents or cleaning agents.
Clean the concentrator exterior cabinet by using a damp cloth or sponge with a mild house-hold cleaner and wipe it dry.

Periodic Maintenance for your Unit

Clean the air filter at least once a week. For cleaning, please remove it, rinse it thoroughly with warm tap water and towel dry thoroughly. The filter should be completely dry before reinstalling.
Change the felt of the Inlet Pre-Filter at least once half a year. Follow those steps: Open the Important Safeguard pull out the Inlet Pre-Filter. Pull out the old felts from the Inlet Pre-Filter (two sides). Then insert the new felts to the Inlet Pre-Filter each side, insert the Inlet Pre-Filter and close the Important Safeguard.
Change the Bacterial Filter at least once a year. You can not change this by yourself, you must contact EICKEMEYER® change this for you.

Note

The use of certain humidifiers and accessories may impair the oxygen concentrator’s performance.
If the Service Required light illuminates and the audible signal alarms but the unit is not operating, there is no power to the unit. Refer to the Minor Troubleshooting chart and contact EICKEMEYER®.
From open to oxygen to reach the required performance required time should be within 5 minutes.
