The Rhythm Healthcare Portable Oxygen Concentrator Model P2 could shut down after 3 minutes (300 seconds) of operation due to the following reasons:
1. Oxygen Concentration Below 87% – If the oxygen concentration remains below 87% for more than 300 seconds, the device may shut down, and the user should contact the provider. 2. Oxygen Concentration Below 50% – If the oxygen concentration drops below 50% continuously for more than 300 seconds, the device will auto-shut down after 30 seconds, and the user should contact the provider.
These conditions indicate a potential issue with oxygen production or delivery, requiring professional inspection.
