SET-UP WITH MODELS IRC301,
IRC301O2, IRC3LX, IRC501,
IRC501O2, IRC5LX, IRC5LXO2
AND IRC6LXO2 (FIGURES 1 and 2)
NOTE: Invacare recommends that Crush-Proof oxygen
tubing be used for ALL connections.
WARNING
Connect cannula to child ONLY after ALL
tubing connections have been made.
Possible water feedback through the tubing
could occur if this sequence is NOT followed.
If Humidifier Bottle is Prescribed
WARNING
DO NOT OVERFILL Humidifier Bottle.
1. Fill the humidifier with water to the level
shown on the bottle.
2. Place the humidifier in the humidifier compartment
on the concentrator.
3. Attach the humidifier bottle adapter to the humidifier
bottle.
4. Attach the 25 ft. (Max.) CP tubing to the humidifier
bottle output connector.
WARNING
Connect cannula to child ONLY after ALL
tubing connections have been made.
Possible water feedback through the tubing
could occur if this sequence is NOT followed.
5. Attach connector provided to the OPPOSITE END
of the 25 ft. (Max.) CP tubing and then connect it to
the nasal cannula.
6. Connect one (1) of the 7 ft. Crush-Proof tubing
from oxygen output fitting of the Concentrator to
the oxygen input fitting on the Pediatric Flowmeter.
7. Connect the other 7 ft. Crush-Proof tubing from
the Pediatric Flowmeter output fitting to the
humidifier bottle adapter.
CAUTION
DO NOT coil Crush-Proof tubing on COLD floor or
condensation will form inside the tubing.
8. Coil excess 25 ft. (Max.) CP Crush-Proof tubing on
table surface.
9. Proceed to Using the Pediatric Flowmeter with
or without a Humidifier Bottle in this Instruction
Sheet.
If Humidifier Bottle is NOT Prescribed
1. Connect the 25 ft. (Max.) CP tubing to the oxygen
output of the Pediatric Flowmeter.
2. Attach connector provided to the OPPOSITE END
of the 25 ft. (Max.) CP tubing and then connect it to
the nasal cannula.
3. Connect the 7 ft. Crush-Proof tubing from the
oxygen output fitting of the Concentrator to the oxy-
gen input fitting on the Pediatric Flowmeter.
4. Proceed to Using the Pediatric Flowmeter with
or without a Humidifier Bottle in this Instruction
Sheet.
1. Place your flowmeter on table top.
2. Turn PreciseR
X
TM Pediatric Flowmeter knob to the
fully open position.
3. Press concentrator power switch to the ON position.
The power light located on the control panel will illu-
minate GREEN (LX Models ONLY). The alarm will
"beep" three (3) times indicating that the system is
functioning properly.
4. Set the OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR to 2 L/m.
5. Allow concentrator to run a minimum of 20 min. to
ensure proper concentration level. Flow indicators
(ALL 5LXO2 and 6LXO2) require proper operating
time to adequately read flow level.
WARNING
When adjusting the Pediatric Flowmeter, the flow-
meter on the oxygen concentrator MUST be set
at 2 L/min. Failure to comply with this procedure
will cause incorrect flow rates to the patient.
