Humidifier Bottle For Oxygen Concentrator

Decreases dryness of supplemental oxygen during therapy with an oxygen supplying system

When you use your oxygen concentrator regularly, you may find that your throat, mouth, and nasal passages become dry. Pure oxygen, especially high flow oxygen above 5 liters per minute, can cause this dryness.

Adding a humidifier to your oxygen concentrator will hydrate the air flow and make your oxygen therapy more comfortable.

Directions for use

1. Fill the humidifier bottle with distilled water to the maximum fill line.
   Do not overfill.
   
2. Attach the humidifier cap to the bottle. Tighten carefully making sure to thread the cap and bottle snugly. Avoid cross threading as this will cause a leak.
   
3. Depending on the machine you have, attach the inlet nut to the oxygen outlet or humidifier adaptor on the oxygen system and hand tighten.
   
4. Test the humidifier for leaks by setting the flow rate at 4 liters (or higher) and block the humidifier outlet. The safety valve should “pop” or “whistle” within 15 seconds. If it does not, check the bottle and lid to assure they are tight and repeat the test.
   
5. After the humidifier bottle is attached properly, connect your cannula or mask tubing to the humidifier outlet, and turn the flow rate to your prescribed level.
