Part No 1118353  
 
 
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES  
WARNING  
The use of oxygen therapy requires that special care be taken  
to reduce the risk of fire. Any materials that will burn in air,  
and some that will not, are easily ignited and burn rapidly in  
high concentrations of oxygen. For safety concerns, it is  
necessary that all sources of ignition be kept away from the  
product and preferably out of the room in which it is being  
used. NO SMOKING signs should be prominently displayed.  
A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease or  
greasy substances come in contact with oxygen under  
pressure. These substances MUST be kept away from the  
oxygen concentrator, tubing and connections, and all other  
oxygen equipment. DO NOT use any lubricants unless  
recommended by Invacare.  
For optimum performance, Invacare recommends that each  
concentrator be on and running for a minimum of 30 minutes  
at a time. Shorter periods of operation may reduce maximum  
product life.  
If the concentrator has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not  
working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or  
dropped into water, call qualified technician for examination  
and repair.  
Keep the oxygen tubing, cord, and unit away from heated or  
hot surfaces, including space heaters, blankets, stoves and  
similar electrical appliances.  
DO NOT move or relocate concentrator by pulling on the  
cord.  
NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.  
Part No 1118353

PlatinumSeries  
 
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES  
WARNING  
NEVER block the air openings of the product or place it on a  
soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air opening  
may be blocked. Keep the openings free from lint, hair and the  
like. Fill humidifier with water to the level shown by the  
manufacturer. DO NOT overfill.  
Keep unit at least three inches away from walls, draperies,  
furniture, and the like.  
Invacare recommends that Crush-Proof oxygen tubing be  
used with this product and not exceed 50 ft. (15.2m) in length.  
Recommended use for Platinum 10 is up to 50 ft. in length of  
high flow tubing.  
Maintenance  
The Invacare Oxygen Concentrator was specifically designed  
to minimize routine preventive maintenance. Only  
professionals of the healthcare field or persons fully  
conversant with this process such as factory trained personnel  
should perform preventive maintenance or performance  
adjustments on the oxygen concentrator.  
Radio Frequency Interference  
Most electronic equipment is influenced by Radio Frequency  
Interference (RFI). Caution should be exercised with regard to  
the use of portable communications equipment in the area  
around such equipment.

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES  
WARNING  
To Reduce The Risk Of Burns,  
Electrocution, Fire Or Injury To  
Persons.  
Avoid using while bathing. If continuous usage is required by  
the physicians prescription:  
The concentrator MUST be located in another room at  
least seven (7) feet from the bath.  
DO NOT come in contact with the concentrator while wet.  
DO NOT place or store product where it can drop into water  
or other liquid.  
DO NOT reach for product that has fallen into water. Unplug  
IMMEDIATELY.  
A product should NEVER be left unattended when plugged  
in.  
This device is to be used only in accordance with the  
prescription of a physician and this Owners Manual. If at any  
time the patient or attendant conclude that the patient is  
receiving an insufficient amount of oxygen, the supplier  
and/or physician should be contacted IMMEDIATELY.  
DO NOT change the L/min. setting on the flowmeter unless a  
change has been prescribed by your physician or therapist.  
Close supervision is necessary when this product is used near  
children or physically-challenged individuals.  
Use this product for only intended use as described in this  
manual.  
DO NOT connect the concentrator in parallel or series with  
other oxygen concentrators or oxygen therapy devices.

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES  
WARNING  
Use of some administration accessories or certain humidifiers  
not specified for use with oxygen concentrator may impair the  
performance.  
In certain circumstances oxygen therapy can be hazardous.  
Invacare recommends that you seek medical advice before  
using this machine.  
This equipment is to be used as an oxygen supplement and is  
not considered life supporting or life sustaining.  
Avoid creation of any spark near medical oxygen equipment.  
This includes sparks from static electricity created by any type  
of friction.  
Polarized Plug Instruction  
As a safety feature, this appliance has a polarized plug (one  
blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized  
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,  
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified  
electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.

SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
SECTION 5—OPERATING  
INSTRUCTIONS  
Introduction  
Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use in the  
home. It is an electronically operated device that separates  
oxygen from room air. It provides high concentration of  
oxygen directly to you through a nasal cannula. Clinical  
studies have documented that oxygen concentrators are  
therapeutically equivalent to other types of oxygen delivery  
systems.  
Your provider will show you how to use your oxygen  
concentrator. He/She should be contacted with any questions  
or problems regarding your oxygen concentrator. This  
owners manual will tell you about your concentrator and will  
serve as a reference as you use your concentrator.  
Select a Location  
You may select a room in your house where using your  
oxygen concentrator would be most convenient. Your  
concentrator can be easily rolled from room to room on its  
casters.  
Your oxygen concentrator will perform best when operated  
under the following conditions. Usage in environments other  
than those described may result in the need for increased  
equipment maintenance. The air intake of the unit should be  
located in a well ventilated area to avoid airborne pollutants  
and/or fumes.

Flowrate  
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.6 on page 29.  
1. Turn the flowrate knob to the setting prescribed by your  
physician or therapist.  
WARNING  
DO NOT change the L/min. setting on the flowmeter  
unless a change has been prescribed by your physician or  
therapist.  
NOTE: To properly read the flowmeter, locate the prescribed flowrate  
line on the flowmeter. Next, turn the flow knob until the ball rises to  
the line. Now, center the ball on the L/min. line prescribed.  
2. If the flowrate on the flowmeter ever falls below 0.5 L/min.  
for Platinum 5 (1 L/min. for Platinum 10) for more than  
about one minute, the LOW FLOW alarm will be  
triggered. This is a rapid beeping of the audible alarm.  
Check your tubing or accessories for blocked or kinked  
tubing or a defective humidifier bottle. After rated flow is  
restored, more than 0.5 L/min. for Platinum 5 (1 L/min. for  
Platinum 10), the LOW FLOW audible alarm will go off.  
NOTE: The use of some accessories such as the pediatric flowstand  
and the HomeFill II compressor will deactivate the Low Flow Alarm.

Unit Features the O2 Sensor Feature)  
This feature monitors the purity of oxygen generated by the  
oxygen concentrator. If purity falls below factory preset  
standards, indicator lights on the control panel will  
illuminate.  
Initial Startup of the Concentrator  
NOTE: Concentrator may be used during the initial start warm-up  
time (approximately 30 min.) while waiting for the O2 purity to  
reach maximum.  
When the unit is turned on, the GREEN light will come on  
(SYSTEM OK/O2 greater than 85%). After five (5) minutes, the  
oxygen sensor will be operating normally and will control the  
indicator lights depending on oxygen concentration values.
