INTRODUCTION

safeguards are indicated throughout this guide; pay special attention to all safety information. Contact your DeVilbiss equipment provider should you have any questions.
Why Your Physician Prescribed Supplemental Oxygen
Today, many people suffer from heart, lung, and other respiratory diseases. Many of these people can benet from supplemental oxygen therapy. Your body requires a steady
supply of oxygen to function properly. Your physician prescribed supplemental oxygen for you because you are not getting enough oxygen from room air alone. Supplemental
oxygen will increase the amount of oxygen that your body receives.
Supplemental oxygen is not addictive. Your physician prescribed a specic oxygen ow to improve symptoms such as headaches, drowsiness, confusion, fatigue, or increased
irritability. If these symptoms persist after you begin your supplemental oxygen program, consult your physician.
The oxygen delivery setting has to be determined for each patient individually with the conguration of the equipment to be used, including accessories.
The proper placement and positioning of the prongs of the nasal cannula in the nose is critical to the amount of oxygen delivered to the respiratory system of the patient.
Your Delivery settings of the oxygen concentrator should be periodically reassessed for the effectiveness of therapy.
How Your DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrator Works
Oxygen concentrators are the most reliable, efcient, and convenient source of supplemental oxygen available today. The oxygen concentrator is electrically operated. The unit
separates oxygen from room air which allows high-purity supplemental oxygen to be delivered to you through the oxygen outlet. Although the concentrator lters the oxygen in
a room, it will not affect the normal amount of oxygen in your room.
