Quick Start Guide It is quick and easy to get your X-PLOR started, but please read the entire User Manual before using your X-PLOR. DO NOT TURN ON X-PLOR UNTIL STEP 4. 1. REMOVE DUST CAP & INSERT CARTRIDGE • Remove cartridge from mylar bag.
1. Introduction This user manual serves as a reference for users of the X-PLOR and should be read in its entirety before operating the X-PLOR. The term “POC” (Portable Oxygen Concentrator) may be used to refer to the X-PLOR. “Patient” and “User” are used interchangeably. X-PLOR enables patients who need a POC to be treated at home according to a clinician’s prescription.
Consult your equipment provider for type of back-up system recommended. WARNING: It is the responsibility of the patient to make back-up arrangements for alternative oxygen supply when traveling. Belluscura assumes no liability ® for persons choosing not to adhere to manufacturer recommendations.
• Use of unauthorized parts and accessories could cause injury, invalidate the warranty, or result in costly damage. • Use of accessories other than those approved by Belluscura could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of X-PLOR.
WARNINGS CONTINUED • For proper operation, the POC requires unobstructed ventilation. Always make sure any openings in the case are not obstructed by items which may impede ventilation. Do not place the POC in a small closed space (such as a closet). The POC should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
3. Operating the X-PLOR The X-PLOR is a pulse mode POC. Normal Pulse Dose Mode: Pulse dose is designed to work with a patient’s inhaling and exhaling patterns. It senses a change in air pressure and releases a pulse of air, also known as a bolus, through a nasal cannula.
AUDIBLE ALARM BUTTON • Pressing this button during an active alarm will acknowledge and mute the audible alarm. This will not remove the visual icon on the POC display. For more information on the Alarms see Chapter 8. FLOW SETTING CONTROL BUTTONS The X-PLOR provides both Pulse Dose and No Breath Detected Mode to provide oxygen when the user needs it most.
Up to 4.5 hours of battery life with the 8-cell battery. WARNING: Use only with Belluscura X-PLOR. Use only the power supply listed in the manual. There is a risk of fire, burns, explosion, and release of toxic material if the battery and the power supply are not used properly.

The following alarm messages are accompanied by a sound and a yellow BATTERY INDICATOR ON LCD SCREEN • When POC is turned on, the battery indicator will show the level of the battery charge. • Each of the five horizontal yellow bars represents approximately 20% of the total battery charge.
STEPS TO CHARGING THE BATTERY Connect the power supply to the X-PLOR power receptacle on the front of the battery. (Image 1) Plug the other end of the AC power supply (Image 2) into a power outlet, or start the car and plug in the DC (Image 3) power supply into the car's DC outlet.
5. User-Replaceable Cartridge A cartridge will arrive in a Mylar bag in the box with your X-PLOR. You have to insert the cartridge into the unit before using the X-PLOR. Do not remove the dust cap until it is time to install the cartridge. To insert the cartridge, first ensure the POC is powered off and then disconnect the battery (See Chapter 4).

CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT Turn off the X-PLOR by pressing the power button to shut down the POC. Remove the X-PLOR from the carrying bag, if applicable. Remove the battery from the X-PLOR. (See chapter 4) Place the X-PLOR on its side to access the underside of the POC. (See image 1) Remove the cartridge by pulling on the handle.
6. Nasal Cannula The proper placement and positioning of the nasal cannula in the nose is critical to the consistent operation of the X-PLOR. The length of the cannula should not exceed 25 feet in length. Tubing lengths greater than 25 feet may impede proper flow. Take care that any hose lying on the floor is not trapped under heavy items or allowed to kink.
7. Troubleshooting The table below lists common problems and corrective actions you can take. If you are unable to resolve a problem, please contact your equipment provider. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE WHAT YOU SHOULD DO Use the AC or DC power cord to operate the device (With the battery inserted) to recharge Battery charge is depleted the battery.
8. Alarms NOTIFICATIONS The X-PLOR has only one type of alarm (an icon on the display combined with an audible tone): that arises when monitored equipment functions indicate that the user’s attention is required. Alarm notifications are audible at levels ranging from 65 dB(A) to 85 dB(A), depending on the equipment condition and the user’s position.
