CONCENTRATOR MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Normal maintenance is to be performed by the user or caregiver.
The following outlines normal maintenance procedures.
NOTE: The Invacare Concentrators are specifically designed to minimize
routine preventive maintenance at intervals of once per year. In places with
high dust or soot levels, maintenance may need to be performed more
often. Preventive maintenance must be performed at a minimum of one (1)
year in service to assure years of additional reliability. Only authorized or
factory-trained personnel should perform preventive maintenance on the
concentrator. Power should be disconnected before beginning preventive
maintenance on the Invacare concentrator.
A. CLEANING THE CABINET FILTERS
NOTE: There are two (2) cabinet
filters. One (1) is located on each
side of the cabinet (FIGURE 1).
1. Remove each filter and
CLEAN AT LEAST ONCE
A WEEK depending on
environmental conditions
(FIGURE 2).
NOTE: Environmental conditions that
may require more frequent cleaning of
the filters include but are not limited to:
high dust, smoking, air pollutants, etc.
2. Clean the cabinet filters with a vacuum cleaner or wash in warm
soapy water and rinse thoroughly (FIGURE 2).
3. Dry the filters thoroughly before reinstallation.
DO NOT operate the concentrator without the filters installed.
