2.4 Technical Description


The oxygen concentration level of the output gas ranges from 87% to 95.6%. The oxygen is delivered to the patient through the use of a nasal cannula.
The transportable oxygen concentrator provides two modes of operation; pulse flow and continuous flow. In pulse flow, when the demand for oxygen
is detected, the oxygen is delivered with pulse flow settings of 1 through 5. In continuous flow, oxygen is continuously flowing with settings from 0.5
LPM to 3.0 LPM.
The Invacare transportable oxygen concentrator uses a molecular sieve and pressure swing adsorption methodology to produce the oxygen gas
output. Ambient air enters the device, is filtered and then compressed. This compressed air is then directed toward one of two nitrogen adsorbing
sieve beds. Concentrated oxygen exits the opposite end of the active sieve bed and is directed into an oxygen reservoir where it is delivered to the
patient in specific volumes during the inhalation portion of a detected breath.
The Invacare transportable oxygen concentrator is capable of operation by the patient in a home environment, in an institutional environment or in
a vehicle or other mobile environment. Device standard power options include an AC to DC switching power supply operating from AC power outlet
(120 VAC/ 60 Hertz or 230VAC/50 Hertz nominal), a DC supply operating from accessory outlets typically found in a mobile vehicle type environment
(12 VDC nominal) and a rechargeable battery module.

for 5 minutes at 3 LPM Continuous.
9. Verify GUI is functioning by clicking CLEAR SNAP STATISTICS in the upper right hand corner values in fields above button should zero then
begin populating with values a couple seconds later. Check the flowrate on the Concentrator Test program. Click the Press to Reset button and
wait about 30 seconds, The average must be between 3.0 +/-.3 LPM (2.7-3.3 LPM). If it is in this range, no changes are required. If it is out of
this range the PID Set Point must be changed. Note: The unit Flowrate will dramatically drop for about 1-1/2 minutes during unit test after the
first 5 minutes and then every 15 minutes. This is normal and do not make any changes during this time.
10. Adjust the PID Set Point by adding or subtracting from the starting value. If the average is higher than 3.3 LPM subtract .1 if the flow adjustment
needed is greater than .1 LPM or .05 if adjustment is less than .1 LPM. If the average is lower than 2.7 LPM add .1 if the flow adjustment needed
is greater than .1 LPM or .05 if less than .1 LPM. Hit the ENTER key and verify the AUTO REFRESH BUTTON changes from red to green, click
the button if it does not turn green after 5 seconds. Wait for 2 minutes and check the average again. Continue adjusting the PID Set Point until
the average flowrate is in the specified range.
11. Check the O2 %. Click the Press to Reset button and wait about 30 seconds. If the average is greater than 90.0 % and is stable within 1% O2, no
changes are required. Verify the O2 stays above 90% for 10 minutes.

turn green and verify the setting has not changed.
18. Click the SET MARKER in the TEST CONCENTRATOR program or start a timer.
19. Allow the unit to run for 2 minutes.
20. Continue to subtract from PETA and add to PETD until the O2 is stable to 1% and greater than 90% for 10 minutes. Note: PETA and PET D
values must equal 590 to 610. O2 Stability should be within 1% but can be up to 1.6% maximum at 3.0LPM.
21. Record the O2% and Flowrate.
22. Change the unit flow mode setting from pulse to continuous 2.5 LPM.
23. At 2.5 LPM check the flowrate on the Concentrator Test program. Click the Press to Reset button and wait about 30 seconds. The average
must be between 2.5+/-.25 LPM (2.25-2.75 LPM). If it is in this range, no changes are required. If it is out of this range the PID Set Point must
be changed. Follow step 11 except using the new limits. Note: O2 stability can be greater than 1.6% for all Settings other than 3.0 LPM.
24. Continue at 2.0, 1.5, 1.0 and .5 LPM Continuous settings. Enter the same PETA and PET D values established at 3.0 LPM setting. Make adjustments
per step 11 except using the new limits and record the O2 and Flowrate. The Average minimum O2 % must be 90% at Setting 2, 2.5, and 3 LPM
and 92% at settings .5, 1.0 and 1.5 LPM.
25. After the Continuous Mode setting 3.0 through .5 LPM are complete, change the unit to 5.0 LPM Pulse Mode.
26. Verify that PETA and PETD values are the same as at 3.0 LPM Continuous.
