Usage Features:
The EASY AIR 15 is designed for straightforward operation.
- Component Identification: Key components include a carry handle, On/Off (I/O) switch, air outlet, regulator knob, gauge (pressure or flow depending on model), air inlet filters, power cord, power cord keeper, fuse drawer, AC inlet, and hour meter.
- Grounding: The product must be properly grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. It is equipped with a grounding wire and plug, which must be connected to a properly installed and grounded outlet, preferably "Hospital Grade."
- Setup: Before use, the product should be inspected for damage. It needs to be positioned near a grounded electrical receptacle with at least 4" (10 cm) clearance on all sides for adequate cooling. The On/Off switch should be in the "Off" (O) position, and the power cord properly connected.
- Operation:
- Attach the appropriate device securely to the outlet fitting.
- Pull the regulator knob OUT to unlock it, then turn it fully counterclockwise.
- Press the On/Off (I/O) switch to the "On" (I) position.
- Adjust the pressure/flow by turning the knob: clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease.
- Push the regulator knob IN to lock the pressure/flow setting.
- When not in use, press the On/Off switch to the "Off" (O) position.
- Safety Precautions:
- Always unplug the product immediately after use.
- Do not use while bathing or near water.
- Do not attempt to repair the product; internal parts are not user-serviceable.
- Never use near flammable/explosive substances.
- Exercise caution when oxygen is being administered.
- Do not use with equipment requiring "dry" air without a proper dehumidification device.
- Do not operate if the cord, plug, or unit is damaged, or if it has been dropped into water.
- Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
- Do not cover air vents, as this can cause overheating and shutdown.
- Ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating.
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of the EASY AIR 15.
- Weekly Cleaning:
- Check both air filters on the top rear of the cabinet for dust buildup.
- If dust buildup occurs, unplug the product, remove the air filters, and wash them in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
- Absorb excess water from the filters with a dry towel.
- Return the filters to their original locations.
- As Needed Cleaning:
- Clean exterior surfaces with a cloth or sponge dampened with soap and water.
- Wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
- WARNING: Do not immerse the product in liquid.
- If the product is used for infectious disease treatment, consult a physician or healthcare professional for recommended cleaning procedures.
- Filter Replacement: Excessive dust buildup on external filters will reduce performance. Clean or replace with new filters as needed.
- Saline Warning: The air filter does not filter out saline. Nebulized saline treatments can draw saline mist back into the product, causing rapid deterioration of compressor seals and voiding the warranty.
- Preventative Maintenance (AT 8500 HRS): The product should be returned to the Equipment Provider for compressor maintenance, including pump rebuilding, after 8500 hours of operation. Precision Medical, Inc. offers Preventative Maintenance Services.
