SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
In order to ensure the safe installation, assembly and
operation of the Platinum concentrator these instructions
MUST be followed.
ꢀ WARNING
This section contains important information for the safe
operation and use of this product.
To Reduce the Risk of Burns,
Electrocution, Fire or Injury to Persons
ꢁ DANGER
Risk of electric shock. DO NOT disassemble. Refer servicing
to qualified service personnel. No user serviceable parts.
Avoid using while bathing. If continuous usage is required
by the physician’s prescription, the concentrator MUST be
located in another room at least 7 ft from the bath.
DO NOT come in contact with the concentrator while wet.
DO NOT place or store product where it can drop into
water or other liquid.
DO NOT reach for product that has fallen into water.
Unplug IMMEDIATELY.
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.
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.
Avoid creation of any spark near medical oxygen
equipment. This includes sparks from static electricity
created by any type of friction.
8
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Operating Information
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.
Keep the oxygen tubing, cord, and unit out from under such
items as blankets, bed coverings, chair cushions, clothing and
away from heated or hot surfaces, including space heaters,
stoves and similar electrical appliances.
DO NOT move or relocate concentrator by pulling on the
power cord.
NEVER drop or insert any object or liquid into any opening.
Invacare recommends that Crush‐Proof oxygen tubing be
used with this product and not exceed 15.2 m (50 ft) in length.
There are no user serviceable parts. This does not include
normal maintenance items. See maintenance section for user
maintenance items.
A product should NEVER be left unattended when plugged
in. Make sure the Platinum is Off when not in use.
Close supervision is necessary when this product is used near
children or physically‐challenged individuals.
Additional monitoring or attention may be required for
patients using this device who are unable to hear or see
alarms or communicate discomfort.
DO NOT connect the concentrator in parallel or series with
other oxygen concentrators or oxygen therapy devices.
Radio Frequency Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
EMC limits specified by IEC/EN 60601‐1‐2. These limits are
designed to provide a reasonable protection against
electromagnetic interference in a typical medical installation.
9
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Other devices may experience interference from even the low
levels of electromagnetic emissions permitted by the above
standards. To determine if the emissions from the Platinum is
causing the interference, turn the Platinum Off. If the
interference with the other device(s) stops, then the Platinum
is causing the interference. In such rare cases, interference
may be reduced or corrected by one of the following
measures:
• Reposition, relocate, or increase the separation
between the equipment.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the other device(s) is connected.

SECTION 3—HANDLING
SECTION 3—HANDLING
The concentrator should ALWAYS be kept in the upright
position to prevent cabinet damage while being transported.
If the concentrator is to be reshipped by common carrier,
additional cartons are available from Invacare.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 3.1.
1. Check for any obvious
damage to the carton or
its contents. If damage is
evident, notify the
carrier, or your local
dealer.
2. Remove all loose packing
from the carton.
3. Carefully remove all the
components from the
carton.
NOTE: Unless the oxygen concentrator is to be used immediately,
retain containers and packing materials for storage until use of the
concentrator is required.
Inspection
Inspect/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 objects on top of repackaged concentrator.

SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SECTION 5—OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use
indoors. 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
ꢀ WARNING
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.
Keep unit at least 3 inches away from walls, draperies,
furniture, and the like.
You may select a room where using your oxygen concentrator
would be most convenient. Your concentrator can be easily
rolled from room to room on its casters.
The air intake of the unit should be located in a well ventilated
area to avoid airborne pollutants and/or fumes. DO NOT
place in a closet.

ꢀ POLARIZED PLUG WARNING
As a safety feature, this appliance may have a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Connect Humidifier (If So Prescribed)
ꢀ WARNING
DO NOT overfill humidifier.
DO NOT reverse the oxygen input and output connections.
Water from the humidifier bottle will travel through the
cannula back to the patient.
NOTE: For Platinum 5, XL ‐ recommended humidifiers are:
Invacare 3260, 003‐40, or 006‐40. For Platinum 10, recommended
humidifiers are high flow: 7900‐10, 7900‐25.
1. Remove cap and fill humidifier bottle with distilled water
to the level indicated by the manufacturer.
2. Replace the humidifier cap and securely tighten.

Flowrate
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.6 on page 20.
1. Turn the flowrate knob to the setting prescribed by your
physician or therapist.
CAUTION
Never set the flow greater than 5 L/min on the IRC5.
Never set the flow greater than 10L/min on the IRC10.
ꢀ WARNING
DO NOT change the L/min setting on the flowmeter unless a
change has been prescribed by your physician or therapist.
NOTE: To properly read the flowmeter, locate the prescribed flowrate
line on the flowmeter. Next, turn the flow knob until the ball rises to
the line. Now, center the ball on the L/min. line prescribed.
2. If the flowrate on the flowmeter ever falls below 0.5 L/min
for Platinum 5 (1 L/min for Platinum 10) for more than
about one minute, the LOW FLOW alarm will be
triggered. This is a rapid beeping of the audible alarm.
Check your tubing or accessories for blocked or kinked
tubing or a defective humidifier bottle. After rated flow is
restored, more than 0.5 L/min for Platinum 5 (1 L/min for
Platinum 10), the LOW FLOW audible alarm will go off.
NOTE: The use of some accessories such as the pediatric flowstand
and the HomeFill compressor will deactivate the Low Flow Alarm.
