1.3 Description
The Invacare Perfecto
concentrator is used by patients with
2
respiratory disorders who require supplemental oxygen. The device
is not intended to sustain or support life.
The oxygen concentration level of the output gas ranges from 87%
to 95.6%. The oxygen is delivered to the patient through the use
of a nasal cannula.
The Invacare Perfecto
concentrator uses a molecular sieve and
2
pressure swing adsorption methodology to produce the oxygen
gas output. Ambient air enters the device, is filtered and then
compressed. This compressed air is then directed toward one of
two nitrogen adsorbing sieve beds.
Concentrated oxygen exits the opposite end of the active sieve bed
and is directed into an oxygen reservoir where it is delivered to the
patient.
The Invacare Perfecto
concentrator is capable of operation by the
2
patient in a home environment or in an institutional environment.
Device operates at a nominal 120 VAC/60 Hertz supply.
Service information will be available upon request to qualified
technical personnel only.
