17 . Always follow cannula manufacturer’s instructions for proper use. 18 . Replace the cannula on a regular basis. Check with your home oxygen provider or clinician to determine how often the cannula should be replaced. 19 . Check that this device operates on battery after disconnecting from the power source. 20 .
3 .3 . IMPORTANT INFORMATION If an extension cord is necessary, use a UL listed 15 amp or higher cord. Do not con- nect any other devices on the same extension cord. Do not use a multisocketed extension cord. 2. Inhale through the nose for the concentrator to work most effectively. Inhaling through the mouth may result in less effective oxygen therapy.
6 . GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE A variety of accessories can enhance the port- ability and use of the Zen-O™ Portable Oxygen Concentrator. In addition to the device, the pack- age contains accessories to get started and a user manual. Contact your home oxygen provider for a complete list of available accessories.
• United Kingdom cord (RS- 00506) • North America cord (RS-00503) • External battery charger - European (RS-00516) • External battery charger - North America (RS-00515) • External battery charger - United Kingdom (RS-00517) • RS-00534 – Humidifier kit Note: Contact your provider or retailer if your specific power supply connection is not listed.
IMPORTANT: Ensure power status icon (see Fig. 7) indicates power is connected. If not, check that cord is plugged in completely. (See Chapter 10 - Troubleshooting for more information.) IMPORTANT: While the concentrator is powered from the DC power supply and operating in continuous mode at setting 2, the battery will not charge.
A 15.2m (50ft) cannula must only be used when device is operating at a continuous mode set- ting. CAUTION: Only use approved accessories with this device. Refer to the approved accessories guide for a complete list of accessories and cannula approved for use with this device. Using unapproved accessories or cannula may impair the performance of this device, including flow rate or oxygen purity.
• Connect the oxygen adapter hose (max 50 cm) to the angle adapter and fit the other end to the oxygen outlet on the concentrator. Make sure all connections are secure. • Connect the nasal cannula to the humidifier bottle outlet and ensure oxygen is flowing through the cannula.
7 .2 . TURNING ON • To turn the device on, press the power button • The concentrator will chirp and the green, yellow, and red LEDs will flash once, while the screen displays the device name. Red LED - indicates a warning danger and/or a need for urgent action Yellow LED - indicates caution or attention required Green LED - indicates device is on.
IMPORTANT: If an air leak is suspected, leaks can be detected with a solution of soap and water applied to the cannula-concentrator connection point and looking for bub- bles. IMPORTANT: Flow can be verified by putting the oxygen concentrator in continuous mode and placing the end of the nasal cannula under the surface of a half full cup of water and looking for bubbles.
• First, the gauge information for both batteries (or one battery if only one is installed), will be shown • Next, the gauge for just the battery in the first slot , then the number of charge cycles on the battery in the first slot •...
8 . TRAVELING WITH THE ZEN-O™ POC BY AIR 8 . 1 . PASSENGER PRE-FLIGHT PREPARATION 8 . 1 . 1 . Required Labeling Your Zen-O™ POC is suitable for aircraft use and has met all acceptance criteria of the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Page 22
IMPORTANT: You may be flying on multiple flights or multiple airlines, which could also involve extended periods of Zen-O™ POC use on the ground between flights. • Zen-O™ owner’s manual information regarding expected duration of battery power. IMPORTANT: You should never rely upon available onboard aircraft electrical power dur- ing a flight.
8 .2 . BOARDING AND IN-FLIGHT INFORMATION 8 .2 . 1 . Carry-on baggage Your Zen-O™ POC is an assistive device. In this case, carriers shall not, in implementing their carry-on baggage policy, count the Zen-O™ POC toward a limit on carry-on items brought into the cabin by a qualified individual with a disability.
Page 24
Stowage during Aircraft Movement - During movement on the surface (pushback from the gate and taxi), take-off, and landing, the Zen-O™ POC must be stowed properly and in such a manner that it does not restrict passenger access to any exit or the aisle in the passenger compartment.
If you have the RS-00500C model (this is stated on the back of your device), this means your device is connected to GCE's Clarity platform. Clarity provides regular updates on your device's performance to your home oxygen provider, enabling them better support you and your device.
4. To disable the Airplane Mode: Press and hold both Mute Minus buttons for 4 seconds. IMPORTANT: Activating or de-activating the Airplane mode does not affect the normal operating performance of your device, continue to use your device as normal. 9 .
IMPORTANT: If the mute button is pressed prior to an alarm condition (for example, to mute the device in a movie theatre), critical high priority and high priority alarms will override the mute function; medium and low priority alarms will be muted for eight hours and twenty four hours respectively from the time the button was pressed.
