This instruction guide will acquaint you with the OX-A series oxygen
concentrator. Make sure that you read and understand this guide before
operating your unit. Important safeguards are indicated throughout this guide;
pay special attention to all safety information. Contact your LOVEGO provider
if you have any questions.
WARNING
For your safety, the oxygen concentrator must be used according to the
prescription determined by your physician.
DANGER
Oxygen causes rapid burning. Do not smoke while your oxygen concentrator is
operating, or when you are near a person utilizing oxygen therapy. Do not use

WHY YOUR PHYSICIAN PRESCRIBE SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN
Today, many people suffer from heart, lung, and other respiratory diseases.
Many of these people can benefit from supplemental oxygen therapy. Your body
requires a steady supply of oxygen to function properly. Your physician
prescribed supplemental oxygen for you because you are not getting enough
oxygen from room air alone. Supplemental oxygen will increase the amount of
oxygen that your body receives.
Supplemental oxygen is not addictive. Your physician prescribed a specific
oxygen flow to improve symptoms such as headaches, drowsiness, confusion,
fatigue, or increased irritability. If these symptoms persist after you begin
your supplemental oxygen program, consult your physician.
HOW YOUR OX-A Series OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR WORKS
Oxygen concentrators are the most reliable, efficient, and convenient source of supplemental oxygen available today, the oxygen concentrator is electrically operated. The unit separates oxygen from room air which allows high-purity supplemental oxygen to be delivered to you through the oxygen outlet, although the concentrator filters the oxygen in a room, it will not affect the normal amount of oxygen in your room.
