CARING FOR YOUR CONCENTRATOR

CARING FOR YOUR DEVILBISS OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR
Use no lubricants, oils or grease.
NOTE–
WARNING
Before attempting any cleaning procedures, turn the unit "Off."
Oxygen Humidifier (reusable bottles)
If your physician has prescribed humidification, clean your humidifier bottle daily. Follow the
instructions supplied by the manufacturer. If no cleaning instructions were supplied, follow these steps:
1. Wash the humidifier in a solution of hot water and dishwashing detergent (Figure 7).
2. Soak the humidifier in a solution of one part white vinegar to three parts hot water for 30 minutes
(Figure 8). This solution acts as a germicidal agent.
3. Rinse thoroughly with hot tap water and refill with distilled water (Figure 9) for use. Do not
overfill.
Cannula, Mask, and Tubing
Clean and replace the cannula, mask, and tubing as instructed by your DeVilbiss provider.
Air Filter and Oxygen Outlet Connector
The air filter and connector should be cleaned at least once a week. To clean, follow these steps:
1. Remove the air filter, located on the back of the unit. Remove the oxygen outlet connector (if
used).
2. Wash in a solution of warm water and dishwashing detergent (Figure 10).
3. Rinse thoroughly with warm tap water and towel dry. The filter should be completely dry before
reinstalling.
CAUTION– To prevent product damage, do not attempt to operate the unit without the air filter
or while the filter is still damp.
Exterior Cabinet
As needed, clean the concentrator exterior cabinet by using a damp cloth or sponge with a mild
household cleaner and wipe it dry.
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, do not remove the concentrator cabinet. The cabinet
should only be removed by a qualified DeVilbiss technician. Do not apply liquid
directly to the cabinet or utilize any petroleum-based solvents or cleaning agents.
Use of harsh chemicals (including alcohol) is not recommended. If bactericidal
cleaning is required, a non-alcohol based product should be used to avoid
inadvertent damage.
