SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
ꢀ WARNINGS
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 preferably 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
expressly 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 Service Personnel 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.

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Fill humidifier with water to the level shown by the
manufacturer. DO NOT overfill.
Keep unit at least 7.5 cm (3 in) away from walls, draperies,
furniture, and the like.
Invacare recommends that Crushproof oxygen tubing
(supplied by Invacare) be used with this product and NOT
exceed 15.2 m (50 ft) in length. Recommended use for
Platinum 9 is up to 15.2 m (50 ft) in length of high flow tubing.
Maintenance
The Invacare Oxygen Concentrator was specifically designed
to minimize routine preventive maintenance at intervals of
once per year. Only professionals of the healthcare field or
persons fully conversant with this process such as authorized
or factory trained personnel should perform preventive
maintenance or performance adjustments on the oxygen
concentrator.
Radio Frequency Interference
Most electronic equipment is influenced by Radio Frequency
Interference (RFI). Caution should be exercised with regard to
the use of portable communications equipment in the area
around such equipment.
To Reduce The Risk Of Burns,
Electrocution, Fire Or Injury To Persons
Avoid using while bathing. If continuous usage is required by
the physician’s prescription:
The concentrator must be located in another room at least
2.1 m (7 ft.) from the bath.
DO NOT come in contact with the concentrator while wet.
A product should NEVER be left unattended when plugged in.
DO NOT place or store product where it can drop into water
or other liquid.

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
DO NOT reach for product that has fallen into water. Unplug
IMMEDIATELY.
This device is to be used only in accordance with the
prescription of a physician and this Owners Manual. If at any
time the patient or attendant conclude that the patient is
receiving an insufficient amount of oxygen, the supplier
and/or physician should be contacted IMMEDIATELY. No
adjustments should be made to the flowrate unless prescribed
by a physician.
Close supervision is necessary when this product is used near
children or physically‐challenged individuals.
Use this product for only intended use as described in this
manual.
DO NOT connect the concentrator in parallel or series with
other oxygen concentrators or oxygen therapy devices.
Use of some administration accessories or certain humidifiers
not specified for use with oxygen concentrator may impair the
performance.
In certain circumstances oxygen therapy can be hazardous.
Invacare recommends that you seek medical advice before
using this machine.
This equipment is to be used as an oxygen supplement and is
not considered life supporting or life sustaining.
Avoid creation of any spark near medical oxygen equipment.
This includes sparks from static electricity created by any type
of friction.
Oxygen Concentration
Take care not to set the flow above RED ring. An oxygen flow
greater than 5 L/min. (IRC5LXO2AW, IRC5LXAW,
IRC5LXO2AWQ) and 9 L/min. (IRC9LXO2AWQ) will
decrease the oxygen concentration.

SECTION 3—SHIPPING AND HANDLING
SECTION 3—SHIPPING AND
HANDLING
Before you install and operate the concentrator, please refer to
Platinum Series Ownerʹs Manual.
The Platinum concentrator should ALWAYS be kept in the
upright position to prevent cabinet damage while being
transported. The shipping container has been designed to
assure maximum protection of the concentrator.

should be packed in a new carton. Additional cartons are
available from Invacare.
The air compressor suspension system has been engineered to
withstand severe motion and orientation.
Unpacking
1. Check for any obvious damage to the carton or its contents.
If damage is evident, notify the carrier, or Invacare.
2. Remove all loose packing from the carton.
3. Carefully remove all the components from the carton.
NOTE: Retain carton and packing materials for storage of the
Platinum.
Inspection
1. Examine exterior of the oxygen concentrator for nicks,
dents, scratches or other damages. Inspect all components.
Storage
1. Store the repackaged oxygen concentrator in a dry area.
2. DO NOT place other objects on top of the repackaged
concentrator.

SECTION 5—OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use in the
home. It is an electronically operated device that separates
oxygen from room air. It provides high concentration of
oxygen directly to you through a nasal cannula. Clinical
studies have documented that oxygen concentrators are
therapeutically equivalent to other types of oxygen delivery
systems.
Your provider will show you how to use your oxygen
concentrator. He/She should be contacted with any questions
or problems regarding your oxygen concentrator. This
owner’s manual will tell you about your concentrator and will
serve as a reference as you use your concentrator.
Select a Location
You may select a room in your house where using your
oxygen concentrator would be most convenient. Your
concentrator can be easily rolled from room to room on its
casters.
Your oxygen concentrator will perform best when operated
under the following conditions. Usage in environments other
than those described may result in the need for increased
equipment maintenance. The air intake of the unit should be
located in a well ventilated area to avoid airborne pollutants
and/or fumes.

Initial Startup of the Concentrator
NOTE: Concentrator may be used during the initial start warm‐up
time (approximately 30 min.) while waiting for the O2 purity to
reach maximum.
When the unit is turned on, the GREEN light will come on
(SYSTEM OK/O2 greater than 85%). After five minutes, the
oxygen sensor will be operating normally and will control the
indicator lights depending on oxygen concentration values.

SECTION 6—MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The Invacare concentrators are specifically designed to
minimize routine preventive maintenance. In places with high dust
or soot levels, maintenance may need to be performed more often.
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.
NOTE: At a minimum, preventive maintenance MUST be
performed according to the maintenance record guidelines. Refer to
Routine Maintenance
NOTE: The following routine maintenance should be performed
more frequently. See recommended intervals in each section and
preventive maintenance record.
Cleaning the Cabinet Filter
CAUTION
DO NOT operate the concentrator without the filters
installed.
NOTE: There are two cabinet filters. One filter located on each side
of the cabinet.
1. Remove each filter and clean at least once a week
depending on environmental conditions.
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.
