“Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale or rental by or on order of a physician,  
or any other practitioner licensed by the law of the State in which he/she practices to use  
or order the use of this device.”  
DANGER  
The use of oxygen therapy requires that special care be taken to reduce the risk of fire.  
Any materials that will burn in air, and some that will not, are easily ignited and burn  
rapidly in high concentrations of oxygen. For safety concerns, it is necessary that all  
sources of ignition be kept away from the product and out of the room in which it is  
being used. NO SMOKING signs should be prominently displayed.  
A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease or greasy substances come in  
contact with oxygen under pressure. These substances MUST be kept away from the  
oxygen concentrator, tubing and connections, and all other oxygen equipment. DO NOT  
use any lubricants unless recommended by Invacare.  
For optimum performance, Invacare recommends that each concentrator be on and  
running for a minimum of 30 minutes at a time. Shorter periods of operation may reduce  
maximum product life.  
If the concentrator has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been  
dropped or damaged, or dropped into water, call qualified technician for examination  
and repair.  
Keep the oxygen tubing, cord, and unit away from heated or hot surfaces, including space  
heaters, blankets, stoves and similar electrical appliances.  
DO NOT move or relocate concentrator by pulling on the cord.  
NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.  
NEVER block the air openings of the product or place it on a soft surface, such as a bed  
or couch, where the air opening may be blocked. Keep the openings free from lint, hair  
and the like. Fill humidifier with water to the level shown by the manufacturer. DO NOT  
overfill.

SECTION 2—INSTALLATION/SEQUENCE OF OPERATION  
SECTION 2—INSTALLATION/  
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION  
Verification of Battery Free Power Loss Alarm  
Check the Perfecto2 concentrator for proper operating conditions.  
1. If the unit has been in belowfreezing temperatures, allow it to warm up to room  
temperature before operating.  
2. The concentrator may need to be turned on for four to five seconds to charge the  
Battery Free Power Loss Alarm. Connect power cord to outlet and turn the  
concentrator on. Turn flow control knob counterclockwise and flow will begin  
IMMEDIATELY. Set flow rate to five L/min. Let the unit run for 30 minutes, then turn  
unit off.  
I/O  
3. Unplug the power cord and press On/Off ( ) switch to the On (
I
/
) position. An  
intermittent audible alarm will sound. This confirms proper operation of the Battery  
/O  
Free Power Loss Alarm. Turn On/Off switch Off ( ).  
4. Connect power cord to outlet and turn on concentrator. Unit will beep on startup.  
5. Check the oxygen concentration per specifications after 3040 minutes running time.  
Sequence of Operation  
Turning On (
I
/
) the power switch applies 120 VAC to the compressor motor, hour meter,  
transformer, cooling fan and the printed circuit (P.C.) board.  
Room air enters the compressor via the cabinet filter and the compressor inlet filter. The  
air is compressed by the wobble pistons in the compressor to a pressure of 21 p.s.i. (144.79  
kPa).  
As increased pressure creates increased temperature, a heat exchanger is used to lower  
the temperature before the air enters the 4way valve. It is then channeled to a sieve bed  
containing the adsorption material. Restriction downstream of the sieve bed causes  
pressure to build up inside the sieve bed which is necessary for the adsorption process. A  
small amount of relatively pure oxygen enters the top of the second bed through a  
restrictive leak in the pressure equalization (P.E.) valve with the balance entering a  
storage tank. The nitrogen removed is exhausted back from the bed through the 4way  
valve into room air. A muffler is located at the exhaust end of the valve to muffle the  
sound of the exhaust as it exits the concentrator.  
The oxygen not being used to exhaust is channeled into the storage tank. The pressurized  
oxygen is regulated down to five p.s.i. (34.4 kPa), enters an accurate flowmeasuring  
device, flows through Outlet HEPA filter and check valve, then out to the patient.

SECTION 2—INSTALLATION/SEQUENCE OF OPERATION  
The electrical activation of the 4way Valve is accomplished every 8 to 15 seconds by the  
pressure sensor and P.C. Board electronics when the pressure reaches a set point of 21  
p.s.i. (144.79 kPa) output flows 4 L/min and above or 16 p.s.i. (110.32 kPa) output flows 3  
L/min and below. The time between cycles is dependent on altitude, flow rate and  
internal environmental factors.  
A P.E. valve opens just prior to the shift of the 4way valve. This allows highly  
concentrated oxygen to enter the just exhausted bed from the top. This additional  
pressure allows the bed to start its cycle at a higher pressure. The P.E. valve will close just  
after the shift of the 4way valve.  
If main power is lost, the Battery Free Power Loss Alarm will sound a short ʺBEEPʺ, with  
a long pause after. All units are equipped with a diagnostic alarm system that signals if  
the pneumatic pressure or electrical systems malfunction. The troubleshooting guide in  
this manual explains the alarm system signals and reasons, in detail. Refer to  
SensO Oxygen Sensor Technology - Ceramic Zirconia  
2
Sensor  
Technical Description  
The oxygen being produced by the concentrator flows out of the product tank and into  
the flowmeter. A small flow of oxygen produced by the unit is sent through a precision  
orifice to the oxygen sensor mounted on the printed circuit board.  
As the oxygen enters the sensor, it passes through a screen and contacts the sensing disk.  
Electric current flowing through a metal film resistor heats the disk in excess of 300°C.  
Oxygen molecules contact the electrode of the disk and pickup extra electrons to become  
oxygen ions. These oxygen ions are attracted to the electrode on the bottom of the zirconia  
sensing disk. Because of the crystal structure of the zirconia, only oxygen ions can pass  
through. When the oxygen ions reach the bottom electrode, the extra electrons are  
released from the oxygen ions and oxygen molecules return to the air. The number of  
electrons is directly related to the oxygen concentration. The electrons travel to the P.C.  
board where they are counted and the oxygen concentration reading is calculated.  
A microprocessor on the P.C. board contains software that interprets the signal being  
received from the sensor. It compares the signal to clinically acceptable limits. Signals  
outside of the clinically acceptable limits generate responses in the form of lights, audible  
indicators, and/or system shutdown.  
Operating Sequence  
I/  
Once the power switch has been turned on ( ), the SensO circuit will wait five minutes  
2
for the concentrator to begin producing clinically acceptable oxygen and the oxygen  
sensor to stabilize. The GREEN light will illuminate (indicating normal system operation)  
while the oxygen sensor is warming up.

SECTION 2—INSTALLATION/SEQUENCE OF OPERATION  
After five minutes, if the oxygen purity exceeds 85% ± 2%, the GREEN light will continue  
to illuminate.  
If the oxygen level is not above 85% ± 2% after the first five minutes, the system will  
continue to monitor the O and wait for a maximum of 30 minutes from startup to reach  
2
85% ± 2% before activating an alarm. Environmental factors such as low voltage, high  
altitude, or age of the machine will affect the time required to reach 85% ± 2%.  
If the oxygen level is not above 85% ± 2% within the first 30 minutes, the oxygen  
concentration alarm sequence will activate and the unit will shut down.  
When oxygen concentration is above 85% ± 2%, the sensor measures oxygen purity every  
10 minutes. If a reading falls below 85% ± 2%, a YELLOW light will illuminate. If the  
oxygen purity falls below 73% ± 3% the RED light/Alarm/ShutDown mode will activate.

SECTION 23—LEAK TEST  
4 Way Valve Function Test  
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 23.1 on page 77.  
The 4way valve used in the Perfecto2 Series Concentrators does have an acceptable  
®
tolerance of leakage per RexRoth .  
By nature of the valve design it is possible for the valve to experience small leaks, and still  
operate without affecting the overall performance of the unit. The valve is assembled  
where the components that make up the valve “Snap” together. The only screws in the  
valve are for securing the valve to the manifold assembly.  
According to RexRoth there is an acceptable leak specification of 60 cc per minute at 20  
psi on each valve. Valves that have leaks within this specification will function properly  
without any adverse effects to the performance of the concentrator. A leak in the amount  
of 60 cc or less would be indicative of the type of small leak you would notice where the  
end caps connect to the main body or where the three pieces of the main body connect  
together. A 60 cc leak would not be noticeable when examining the system pressure  
swings.  
Leaks greater than 60 cc are indicative of cracks in the end caps, or a blown seal where the  
end cap connects to the main body of the valve. These leaks are detected by either reading  
the system swing pressures, noticing two consecutive swings not being equal or by  
hearing an audible leak every other cycle. Leaks of this extreme nature indicate the valve  
needs to be replaced.  
Valves should only need to be replaced when the following conditions exist:  
1. A visible crack is noted on either of the end caps or main body of the 4 way valve,  
regardless of the amount of leak.  
2. A large leak is present on the valve that causes an imbalance in the sieve bed swing  
pressures. Example: Sieve Bed 1 pressure swings from 14 psi to 16 psi, within 720  
seconds and Sieve Bed 2 pressure swings from 13 psi to 16 psi slowly, and may take  
as long as 2530 seconds before shifting (times over 30 second will shut down  
automatically).  
3. Valve will not shift and the pilot valve solenoid and circuit board are working  
properly.  
NOTE: The concentrator’s P.C.B. should exhibit an error code for High Pressure Failure (1 Red/  
2 Green).  
NOTE: The best method to test the 4way valve operation is by measuring the unit pressure  
swings. This can easily be done at the HomeFill port with a 030 psi pressure gauge and a ¼” fill  
line adapter. Upon starting the unit should build pressure up to 16 psi for output flows 3 L/min  
and below or 21 psi for output flows 4 L/min and above before its initial shift. After the initial shift  
the unit should shift consistently in equal amounts of time +/1 second (time recorded in seconds).

SECTION 23—LEAK TEST  
Check each end cap  
for cracks and for  
major leaks. You  
should NOT use  
leak detector on the  
valve.  
4 Way Valve  
Use a 0-30 psi pressure gauge to monitor  
system pressure swings, and also record the  
amount of time it takes to achieve a shift (full  
charge and full purge).
