UNPACKING AND SETUP
INITIAL INSPECTION
It is suggested that an initial inspection be performed upon receiving the oxygen
concentrator.
1. After removing the Drive DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrator from the carton,
examine it for any external damage. If shipping damage has occurred,
contact the DeVilbiss Customer Service Department at 1-800-338-1988
(814-443-4881) for specic instructions. Save the carton for possible later
return; note the position of the unit and placement of the packing material.
2. Open the lter door and make sure the intake bacteria lter is in place.
3. Check to make sure the air cabinet lter is in place.
4. Plug the unit into an electrical outlet, turn the unit “On” and check the
audible and visible alerts.
5. Record hours on the digital hour meter located on the light panel.
6. Set the ow meter to maximum recommended liter ow and let the unit run
for at least 20 minutes.
7. Use an oxygen analyzer to check the concentration.
8. With unit still running, unplug it to test the power fail alarm.
NOTE– If the unit fails to operate properly (oxygen concentration not within
specication) or if internal damage is found, contact the Drive DeVilbiss
Customer Service Department at 1-800-338-1988 (814-443-4881).
PATIENT SETUP
1. Position the unit near an electrical outlet in the room where the patient
spends most of his or her time.
WARNING
Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch.
2. Position the unit at least 6 inches (16 cm) from walls, draperies, or any
other objects that might prevent the proper ow of air in and out of the
oxygen concentrator. The concentrator should be located in a well-
ventilated area to avoid pollutants or fumes.
3. Locate the unit a minimum of 6.5 feet (2 m) from replaces, radiators,
heaters, and hot-air registers.
WARNING
Oxygen causes rapid burning. Do not smoke while your oxygen
concentrator is operating, or when you are near a person utilizing
oxygen therapy. Keep the oxygen concentrator and cannula at least
6.5 feet (2 m) from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of ame.
Electric Shock Hazard. Only qualied Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare
homecare providers may remove the cabinet.
4. Attach the appropriate oxygen accessories (oxygen tubing or humidier) to
the oxygen outlet port.
NOTE– A maximum of 50 feet (15 meters) of tubing plus 7 feet (2.1 meters)
of cannula plus a bubble humidier is allowed between the concentrator and the
patient.
WARNING
In order to prevent a re propagating from the patient through the
cannula towards the unit, a means of protection should be located as
close to the patient as practicable. Country Standards may vary.
Please contact your provider for information.
Oxygen Tubing Only Connection
1. Thread the cannula tting onto the oxygen outlet port.
2. Attach the 5/32” (4 mm) I.D. oxygen tubing.
Oxygen Tubing with Humidification
Connection
If the physician has prescribed an oxygen humidier as part of the patient’s
therapy, follow these steps (If using a prell, go to Step 3.):
1. Fill the humidier bottle per manufacturer's instructions.
2. Thread the wing nut located on the top of the humidier bottle to the
oxygen outlet port so that it is suspended. Make sure it is securely
tightened.
3. Attach the 5/32" (4 mm) I.D. oxygen tubing, not to exceed 50 feet (15
meters) plus 7 feet (2.1 meters) of cannula, directly to the humidier bottle
outlet tting.
NOTE– For optimum performance, the Drive DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrator
has a preset nominal output pressure of 20 psi (138 kPa). Use only “bubble-type”
humidiers designed for use with ows up to 10 liters per minute. Do not use
“jet-type” humidiers.
WARNING
In order to prevent a re propagating from the patient through the
cannula towards the unit, a means of protection should be located as
close to the patient as practicable. Country Standards may vary.
Please contact your provider for information.
When ready for operation
1. Attach the nasal cannula to the oxygen tubing (per the manufacturer’s
directions).
2. Follow the Operating Instructions.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the power cord completely from the strap. Make sure the power
switch is in the “Off” position.
2. 120 Volt Units– Insert the plug into an electrical outlet. The Drive DeVilbiss
Oxygen Concentrator uses a two-prong polarized plug and is double-
insulated to protect against electric shock.
220/230/240 Volt Units – Ensure cord is connected to the unit before
inserting plug into an appropriate electrical outlet.
WARNING
The plug on the Drive DeVilbiss 1025DS concentrators has one
blade wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug is intended to t in a wall outlet only one way. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
Improper use of the power cord and plugs can cause a burn, re, or
other electric shock hazards. Do not use the unit if the power cord is
damaged.
Oxygen causes rapid burning. Do not smoke while your oxygen
concentrator is operating, or when you are near a person utilizing
oxygen therapy. Keep the oxygen concentrator and cannula at least
6.5 feet (2 m) from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of ame.
WARNING
The Drive DeVilbiss 1025 oxygen concentrator is equipped with a re
mitigating outlet tting that prevents propagation of re into the unit.
In order to prevent a re propagating from the patient through the
cannula towards the unit, a means of protection should be located as
close to the patient as practicable. Country Standards may vary.
Please contact your provider for information.
3. Press the power switch to the "On" position. When the unit is turned “On”,
all three lights (Service Required, Low Oxygen and Normal Oxygen) on the
