What to do if high oxygen flow indication is activated on Philips EverFlo?

  Jacob WhiteAug 20, 2025
  If your Philips Oxygen Equipment indicates a high oxygen flow (yellow LED blinking, red LED off, periodic beeping), it means the device has detected an excessive oxygen flow. You should immediately turn the flow rate down to your prescribed level. Wait at least 2 minutes. If the condition persists, turn the unit off, connect to a backup oxygen source, and call your home care provider.
