The Oxytec-5S is designed for use with specific accessories to deliver oxygen safely and comfortably. Always use the humidifier bottle, tubing, cannula, and carrying case designed for the Oxytec-5S model. Using unsupported third-party accessories can negatively impact oxygen purity and flow rate.
The Oxytec-5S humidifier bottle should be filled with 200mL of distilled or demineralized water only. Tap water contains minerals that can enter the oxygen stream and damage components. Change the humidifier bottle every 2-4 months.
Similarly, the Oxytec-5S cannula should be replaced every 2-4 months for sanitary reasons. Check frequently for cracks or blockages in the tubing that connects the cannula to the device. Damaged tubing can limit oxygen delivery.
Proper maintenance is key to ensuring safe and effective oxygen delivery. Clean the exterior of your Oxytec-5S device regularly with a dry cloth to prevent dust buildup. The internal filter should be cleaned or replaced after 2,000-3,000 hours of use. A dirty filter will reduce oxygen purity levels.
Be sure to fully extend the tubing when in use. Avoid kinking or pinching the tubing, which can restrict oxygen flow. Store tubing carefully when not in use. Check that all connections are tightly secured.
For portable use, be sure to charge the Oxytec-5S’s internal battery fully overnight before leaving home. Partial charging can greatly reduce battery runtime. Carry additional charged batteries with you for oxygen therapy lasting more than 2-3 hours. Never use unapproved third-party batteries, which can damage the device.
Keep the Oxytec-5S connected to a grounded AC power outlet whenever possible. Do not rely solely on battery power. For safety, avoid using near any heat sources or open flames.
By following these tips on accessories, maintenance, power, and more, you can optimize your Oxytec-5S performance. Be sure to fully read the product manual and consult Chaban Medical with any other usage questions.
