LABEL LOCATION LABEL LOCATION FOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS or ALARMS DANGER - RISK OF FIRE NO SMOKING - Keep ALL sources of ignition out of the room in which this product is located and away from areas where oxygen is being delivered. Textiles, oil and other combustibles are easily ignited and burn with great intensity in oxygen enriched air.
These substances MUST be kept away from the oxygen concentrator, tubing and connections, and all other oxygen equipment. DO NOT use any lubricants unless recommended by Invacare. Avoid creation of any spark near medical oxygen equipment. This includes sparks from static electricity created by any type of friction.
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Operating Information For optimum performance, Invacare recommends that each concentrator be on and running for a minimum of 30 minutes at a time. Shorter periods of operation may reduce maximum product life. Keep the oxygen tubing, cord, and unit out from under such items as blankets, bed coverings, chair cushions, clothing and away from heated or hot surfaces, including space heaters, stoves and similar electrical appliances. DO NOT move or relocate concentrator by pulling on the power cord. NEVER drop or insert any object or liquid into any opening. Invacare recommends that Crush‐Proof oxygen tubing be used with this product and not exceed 50 ft in length. There are no user serviceable parts. This does not include normal maintenance items. See maintenance section for user maintenance items. A product should NEVER be left unattended when plugged in. Make sure the Perfecto is Off when not in use. Close supervision is necessary when this product is used near children or physically‐challenged individuals. Additional monitoring or attention may be required for patients using this device who are unable to hear or see alarms or communicate discomfort. DO NOT connect the concentrator in parallel or series with other oxygen concentrators or oxygen therapy devices. Radio Frequency Interference This equipment has been tested and found to comply with EMC limits specified by IEC/EN 60601‐1‐2. These limits are designed to provide a reasonable protection against electromagnetic interference in a typical medical installation. Perfecto Series Part No 1143482 ™...

Other devices may experience interference from even the low levels of electromagnetic emissions permitted by the above standards. To determine if the emissions from the Perfecto causing the interference, turn the Perfecto interference with the other device(s) stops, then the Perfecto is causing the interference. In such rare cases, interference may be reduced or corrected by one of the following measures: • Reposition, relocate, or increase the separation between the equipment. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other device(s) is connected.

SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING SECTION 5— INSTRUCTIONS Introduction Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use indoors. It is an electronically operated device that separates oxygen from room air. It provides high concentration of oxygen directly to you through a nasal cannula. Clinical studies have documented that oxygen concentrators are therapeutically equivalent to other types of oxygen delivery systems. Your provider will show you how to use your oxygen concentrator. He/She should be contacted with any questions or problems regarding your oxygen concentrator. This owner’s manual will tell you about your concentrator and will serve as a reference as you use your concentrator. Select a Location WARNING NEVER block the air openings of the product or place it on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air opening may be blocked. Keep the openings free from lint, hair and the like. Keep unit at least 3 inches away from walls, draperies, furniture, and the like. You may select a room where using your oxygen concentrator would be most convenient. Your concentrator can be easily rolled from room to room on its casters. Your oxygen concentrator will perform best when operated under the following conditions. Refer to Typical Product Parameters on page 12. Usage in environments other than those described may result in the need for increased equipment maintenance. The air intake of the unit should be located in a well ventilated area to avoid smoke, airborne pollutants and/or fumes. DO NOT place in a closet. Part No 1143482 Perfecto Series ™...

Flowrate NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.5 on page 20. 1. Turn the flowrate knob to the setting prescribed by your physician or therapist. Never set the flow greater than 5 L/min. DO NOT change the L/min setting on the flowmeter unless a change has been prescribed by your physician or therapist. NOTE: To properly read the flowmeter, locate the prescribed flowrate line on the flowmeter. Next, turn the flow knob until the ball rises to the line. Now, center the ball on the L/min line prescribed. 2. If the flowrate on the flowmeter ever falls below 0.5 L/min for more than about one minute, the LOW FLOW alarm will be triggered. This is a rapid beeping of the audible alarm. Check your tubing or accessories for blocked or kinked tubing or a defective humidifier bottle. After rated flow is restored, between 0.5 L/min and 0.75 L/min, the LOW FLOW audible alarm will turn off. NOTE: The use of some accessories such as the pediatric flowstand and the HomeFill compressor will deactivate the Low Flow Alarm.
