Why is my Invacare Medical Equipment losing power with both internal status indicators (red and green) off, even when plugged in and the power switch is on?
The issue might stem from a damaged P.C. board or a loose/damaged connector. In such cases, replacing the P.C. board or repairing/replacing the connector might resolve the problem.
What to do if my Invacare Medical Equipment is excessively loud?
An excessively loud unit could be due to several reasons: * A cracked, damaged, or missing muffler or disconnected/damaged muffler tubing. Consider replacing the muffler or reconnecting/replacing the tubing. * A missing compressor inlet filter. Replace the compressor inlet filter. * The compressor was removed. Replace the compressor. * An incorrect style of inlet filter (aftermarket). Replace with factory OEM sound reduced style inlet HEPA filter.
What to do if my Invacare Medical Equipment is overheating?
If your unit overheats, consider these possible causes and solutions: * Ensure the base exhaust vent isn't plugged or restricted by placing the unit at least 12 inches from any wall and avoiding placement on thick carpeting. * Clean or replace dirty/blocked cabinet filters. * Check the fan for disconnected leads (reconnect), defects (replace the fan), or incorrect installation (install with airflow arrow pointing down). * Clean or replace a dirty or damaged heat exchanger. * The compressor is defective. Replace the compressor. * Have line voltage inspected by a certified electrician.
What to do if my Invacare Medical Equipment has low oxygen concentration?
Low oxygen concentration can arise from several factors: * Dirty cabinet filters: Clean or replace them. * Dirty compressor inlet filter: Replace it. * Defective compressor: Replace it. * Leaking heat exchanger: Replace or retighten. * Cracked or leaking regulator: Replace it. * Dirty or plugged exhaust muffler: Replace it. * Faulty fan: Reconnect leads or replace the fan. * Defective sieve beds: Replace them. * Kinked or blocked tubing: Repair or replace it.
Why is my Invacare Medical Equipment losing power (red and green internal status indicators off) with the unit unplugged?
If your device shows a power loss with both internal status indicators off while unplugged, ensure the power cord is properly plugged in and the power switch is turned ON (I /) to initiate recharging. If the outlet isn't working, check it with another device or a voltmeter. If it's still not working, inspect your home's electrical panel or consult an electrician. Avoid using extension cords and try another outlet or circuit. Also, check the power cord for any damage (frayed, broken, or disconnected). Reattach or replace any damaged components.
What to do if my Invacare Medical Equipment shows defective parts (one red flash, five green flashes or two red flashes, three green flashes)?
If your equipment indicates defective parts, it could be due to: * A defective main valve coil: Replace the main valve or its coil. * A loose connector: Reattach it. * A defective P.E. valve coil: Replace the P.E. coil if shorted or open. * A defective P.E. valve: Replace the P.E. valve. * A defective P.C. board: Replace the P.C. board.
What causes high pressure in my Invacare Medical Equipment and how to fix it?
High pressure in your equipment, indicated by one red flash and two green flashes, could be due to several reasons: * A malfunctioning P.C. board or disconnected wire: Set the flow to max L/min and check the voltage across Pilot Valve 1. Also, check spade connectors on pilot valves 1 or 2 and connectors on the P.C. board. If the valve is shifting at pressures greater than 25 p.s.i. for Perfecto2, replace the P.C. board. * A faulty 4-way valve: Check the voltage. Replace the valve if shorted or open. The coil should read 175 ohm ± 20. * A dirty or plugged compressor inlet filter: Replace the filter.
What causes low pressure in Invacare Medical Equipment and how to resolve it?
Low pressure, indicated by specific red and green flash patterns and a continuous alarm, may be caused by: * Compressor issues: Leaks at fittings/tubing, a leaking relief valve, insufficient voltage, or worn seals. Replace/repair leaks, ensure sufficient voltage, or rebuild the compressor. * Heat exchanger leaks: Replace/retighten tubing or the heat exchanger. * A cracked or leaking regulator: Replace the regulator. * A leaking P.E. valve: Replace the P.E. valve. Check for leaks throughout the pneumatic connections.
What causes fluctuating flow in my Invacare Medical Equipment?
Fluctuating flow can be caused by: * Incorrectly set regulator or flowmeter malfunction: Check pressure at the oxygen outlet and adjust the regulator. If flow is still unstable, check for leaks. If no leaks are found and flow is still fluctuating, replace the regulator. If pressure at test point is within spec (5 p.s.i. ± 0.5 max. [34.4 kPa ± 6.89]), replace flowmeter. * Dirty or plugged outlet HEPA filter: Replace the outlet HEPA filter.
