Introduction
HELiOS Universal Reservoir shown.
Universal & Standard reservoirs are available
in 36 and 46 liter models.
A liquid oxygen system is designed to provide sup-
plementary oxygen as prescribed by a physician.
Your liquid oxygen system includes a HELiOS
reservoir. This user manual contains the instruc-
tions for using the HELiOS reservoir.
The HELiOS reservoir is intended for the adminis-
tration of supplemental oxygen to the patient in the
end user's home and can also be used in institutions
such as nursing homes or sub-acute care facilities.
The device is not intended for life support nor does
it provide any patient monitoring capabilities. It
is recommended to have an alternate source of
supplemental oxygen in the event of mechanical
failure.
The device is used by COPD patients or those
with diminished breathing capacity. The device is
prescribed to the patient. The device is sold to a
provider that is trained to operate and service the
HELiOS reservoir. The provider trains the user."
Your liquid oxygen system may also contain a
portable unit to provide an ambulatory source of
oxygen for an extended period of time. Refer to the
user manual supplied with your portable unit for
information on its operation.
The HELiOS reservoir is filled with liquid oxygen
by your health care provider. It is designed to store
the liquid oxygen for the purposes of filling a por-
table unit, and breathing directly from the reservoir
for stationary use.
The HELiOS reservoir stores liquid oxygen
that can be used to fill a portable liquid oxygen
tank. HELiOS Universal reservoirs can fill any
CAIRE top fill (TF) portable with a compatible fill
connector. HELiOS Standard reservoirs can only
fill the HELiOS H300 Plus and H850 Marathon
portable units (see Standard and Universal
Reservoirs section for model identification).
The HELiOS reservoir is also designed for station-
ary use. Continuous oxygen flow from 0-10 LPM
can be taken directly from the reservoir with the
attachment of an external flow control valve.
Another method of stationary use is to connect
a HELiOS H300 or H850 portable unit to the
HELiOS reservoir using an oxygen supply line.
When the portable is connected to the reservoir in
this manner, the reservoir supplies gas oxygen to
the portable and allows you to breathe from the
portable as a conserving (demand) device without
filling it.
