Introduction
Your physician has prescribed supplemental oxygen as part of a treatment plan. Long-term oxygen therapy is
now widely accepted as the standard treatment for chronic hypoxia caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease. Oxygen therapy has become more versatile in recent years due to the development of oxygen
concentrators. The new devices make it easier for physicians to select a mode of oxygen therapy that suits the
patient's lifestyle.
An oxygen concentrator has been prescribed to provide you with a source for supplemental oxygen. SeQual's
Integra E-Z Oxygen Concentrator is an electronically operated oxygen concentrator that separates oxygen from
room air. It does not remove oxygen from a room any more than by simply breathing the same room air. You
breathe the added oxygen through nasal prongs of a cannula (small soft plastic tubes that fit just inside your
nostrils).
Your physician has prescribed a specific oxygen flow rate setting to meet your individual needs. This flow rate is
determined by the amount of oxygen needed.
Recommended oxygen flow rates should be adjusted only
under the advice of a physician.
This oxygen concentrator is not intended for life supporting or life sustaining applications.
As with any electrically powered device, the user may experience periods of non-operation as the result of
electrical power interruption, or the need to have the oxygen concentrator serviced by a technician. This
instruction manual will inform you about the use and care of the Integra E-Z Oxygen Concentrator and will serve
as a reference as you use your oxygen concentrator.
