How To Operate EverFlo Q Ultra Compressor?

Operating Instructions:

1. Select a location that allows the Respironics Concentrator to draw in room air without being restricted. Make sure that the device is at least 15 to 30 cm away from walls, furniture, and especially curtains that could impede adequate airflow to the device. Do not place the device near any heat source.
2. After reading instructions, plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
3. Do either Step A or Step B below:
   A. If you are not using a humidifier, connect your nasal cannula to the Oxygen Outlet Port, as shown below.
   
   B. If you are using a humidifier, follow the steps below:
   1. Open the filter door on the back of the device
      
   2. Remove the humidifier connector tube from the back of the filter door and replace the filter door.
   3. Fill your humidifier bottle according to the manufacturer instructions.
   4. Mount the filled humidifier on the top of the EverFlo Q device inside the velcro strap.
