The 3B Medical Stratus 5 may sound a high-pressure alarm despite changing the air filter because the air outlet of the concentrator might be blocked or restricted. It is essential to ensure that there are no obstructions to airflow and that the device is operating in a suitable environment.

When the 3B Medical Stratus 5 concentrator is beeping and showing a pressure abnormal alert, it indicates a pressure-related issue within the device. This could be due to blocked inlets, vents, or exhaust ports, or another malfunction affecting the internal pressure system. It is recommended to check for obstructions and ensure proper ventilation. If the issue persists, contact your DME or home health provider.

To stop air from escaping from the humidifier of the 3B Medical Stratus 5, ensure the following: 1. The humidifier lid is tightened securely in a clockwise direction. 2. The PVC hose is properly connected to both the oxygen outlet and the humidifier inlet. 3. The humidifier is correctly installed and secured using the humidifier band. 4. The humidifier is not overfilled with water, as this may cause leaks.
If air continues to escape, check for any cracks or damage in the humidifier bottle or connections and replace if necessary.
