HELiOS
Introduction
A liquid oxygen system is designed to provide sup-
plementary oxygen as prescribed by a physician.
Your liquid oxygen system includes a HELiOS
reservoir. This user manual contains the instruc-
tions for using the HELiOS reservoir.
The Helios reservoir is intended for the administra-
tion of supplemental oxygen to the patient in the
end user’s home and can also be used in institutions
such as nursing homes or sub-acute care facilities.
The device is not intended for life support nor does
it provide any patient monitoring capabilities. It
is recommended to have an alternate source of
supplemental oxygen in the event of mechanical
failure.
The device is used by COPD patients or those
with diminished breathing capacity. The device is
prescribed to the patient. The device is sold to a
provider that is trained to operate and service the
Helios reservoir. The provider trains the user.”
Your liquid oxygen system may also contain a
portable unit to provide an ambulatory source of
oxygen for an extended period of time. Refer to the
user manual supplied with your portable unit for
information on its operation.
The HELiOS reservoir is lled with liquid oxygen
by your health care provider. It is designed to store
the liquid oxygen for the purposes of lling a por-
table unit, and breathing directly from the reservoir
for stationary use.
The HELiOS reservoir stores liquid oxygen that
can be used to ll a portable liquid oxygen tank.
HELiOS Universal reservoirs can ll any CAIRE
top ll (TF) portable with a compatible ll connec-

Universal & Standard reservoirs are available
in 36 and 46 liter models.
tor. HELiOS Standard reservoirs can only ll the
HELiOS H300 Plus and H850 Marathon portable
units (see Standard and Universal Reservoirs sec-
tion for model identication).
The HELiOS reservoir is also designed for station-
ary use. Continuous oxygen ow from 0-10 LPM
can be taken directly from the reservoir with the
attachment of an external ow control valve.
Another method of stationary use is to connect
a HELiOS H300 or H850 portable unit to the
HELiOS reservoir using an oxygen supply line.
When the portable is connected to the reservoir in
this manner, the reservoir supplies gas oxygen to
the portable and allows you to breathe from the
portable as a conserving (demand) device without
lling it.
