INDICATIONS FOR USE

The DeVilbiss Compact Conserving Device is intended as a delivery device for medical-grade oxygen from
high-pressure oxygen cylinders. This is an ambulatory device, which allows patients to ambulate longer than
they would with a continuous flow regulator on the same cylinder.

Knob– This knob is used to attach the conserving device to the cylinder.
1.
PulseDose Indicator– Either green or red light illuminates each time the unit pulses oxygen.
2.
Normal Battery Indicator– A flashing green light indicates that there is sufficient battery power.
3. Low Battery Indicator– A flashing red light indicates that there are 4 - 8 hours of battery life remaining.
The low battery indication time may be reduced when using NiMH batteries.
Change Battery Indicator– A constant red light indicates that the batteries should be changed
immediately. Unit can be used only in continuous flow mode until new batteries are installed.
4. Cannula Fitting– Use this fitting to attach the cannula to your PulseDose conserving device.
5. Rotary Selector– When this rotary switch is set to "OFF," the unit is not using battery power and will not
pulse. When this switch is set to one of the numbers, the unit is on and awaiting inspiration through the
nasal cannula at which time it will dose on every breath. The volume of the oxygen delivered varies
according to which prescription flow setting is chosen. The final setting on the rotary switch is "CF"; this
is the continuous flow position. In this position oxygen will flow from the cannula fitting at the default
continuous flow rate.
6. Oxygen Contents Gauge–Indicates the remaining pressure in the oxygen cylinder. When this gauge
falls into the red section, you should switch to a new cylinder.
Battery Door– Use only standard "AA" Alkaline or NiMH batteries. Refer to the instructions supplied with
7.
NiMH batteries for use and recharge instructions.
8. Cylinder Connection
NOTE–Continuous flow mode is not powered by the batteries and can be used regardless of the battery level.
In the event of a device failure or dead batteries, the user must manually switch the unit to continuous flow for
delivery of oxygen. The device will not automatically switch to continuous flow. The oxygen cylinder will not last
as long in continuous flow mode as it would in PulseDose mode. Unless there is a problem with the unit, such
as dead batteries, the unit should be used in PulseDose mode.
