INTRODUCTION  
PURPOSE  
The EVOLUTIONTM MOTION electronic conserver is designed for use as part of a portable  
ambulatory oxygen system for the purpose of facilitating long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT). It  
provides mobile LTOT patients with an extended operating time of their mobile system. The  
EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver includes a combination of a low-pressure regulator and an  
oxygen conserver and is capable of delivering a precise amount of supplemental oxygen at the  
optimal point in the breathing cycle. Operationally, the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver greatly  
increases efficiency in the delivery of oxygen, maximizing the beneficial effects and eliminating  
unnecessary oxygen waste.  
The EVOLUTIONTM MOTION is not suitable for use during sleep.  
The EVOLUTIONTM MOTION is not suitable for children.  
Use the unit exclusively for the purpose described above.  
USER QUALIFICATION  
Prior to beginning therapy, patients must be given instruction by qualified personnel on how to  
use the unit.

INTRODUCTION  
FUNCTION  
The EVOLUTIONTM MOTION OM-900M oxygen therapeutic device, which combines a regulator,  
motion sensor, and an oxygen conserver, is designed for use as part of an ambulatory oxygen  
system.  
When we breathe, approximately one-third of the time is spent inhaling, and two-third exhaling. As a  
result, oxygen delivered by continuous flow is wasted during exhalation. By eliminating oxygen flow  
during exhalation, a two-thirds savings is possible. Additionally, the application of the EVOLUTIONTM  
MOTION is based on the fact that only oxygen inhaled at the beginning of the breath actually reaches  
the alveoli and is absorbed by the body. The oxygen inhaled during the remainder of the breath is  
not used and is exhaled again.  
However, it is the addition of the patented motion-sensing technology which makes the OM-900M a  
unique therapeutic device. For those patients who have increased oxygen requirements based on  
their activity level, the OM-900M stores two selectable settings; one for rest and one for activity. By  
sensing the user’s activity, the device can automatically switch from a lower setting in “Rest” mode  
to a higher setting in “Active” mode to meet the user’s increased oxygen needs.  
For these reasons, the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION OM-900M is designed to be an integral component  
of a lightweight, long-lasting ambulatory system.

DESCRIPTION OF PARTS & CONTROLS  
Low Battery Indicator Light: The EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver incorporates a visual indicator light that alerts you when  
a battery change is needed. The following signal will be displayed as your batteries become depleted:  
Blinking red light - Low battery energy level. Replace batteries.  
Cylinder Adjustment Handle: This is used to attach the unit to any CGA 870 post-valve cylinder.  
Selector Knob: This enables the user to select their prescribed oxygen flow setting. It also enables s/he to select the  
continuous flow mode setting. The continuous flow mode setting (CF) is designed for emergency use only. The amount of  
oxygen delivered when using the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION in continuous flow mode is preset at 2 LPM (liters per minute). When  
not in use,the cylinder should be turned off by turning the cylinder valve toggle counter clockwise.  
The CF mode (continuous flow) is a mechanical override designed as a safety feature in case battery power fails. It is set at  
2 LPM CF. When in the CF mode, the user can still change the LED display lights by pressing the Selector Button but it has no  
effect on oxygen output.  
CAUTION! In the event that it is necessary to operate the unit in the continuous flow mode, DO NOT obstruct the flow of oxygen  
from the Oxygen Supply Outlet by placing your finger over the outlet or blocking the flow through the oxygen tubing in any way.  
Doing so may render the unit inoperable and/or damage the sensor in the unit.  
*
NOTE: Remember that in continuous flow mode, the oxygen will be consumed at a much faster rate.  
Return to another source before depleting the oxygen cylinder.  
Battery Holder: This compartment holds two (2) AA-size alkaline batteries.  
Oxygen Pressure Gauge: This enables the user to monitor the contents of the compressed oxygen cylinder.  
Oxygen Supply Outlet: Use this fitting to attach a standard cannula.  
Cylinder Alignment Pins: When assembling the unit, these parallel pins must go into the holes on the post valve.  
Seal Washer: This creates the interface between the valve and the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver. Besides offering a  
rugged interface, it also surrounds the oxygen path in a ring of stainless steel or brass.  
Oxygen Inlet Connection: Interface between cylinder valve and conserver that allows oxygen to flow into the regulator.  
WARNING! Use only a manufacturer-specified seal washer. Other seal washers may not be oxygen  
compatible and may cause an oxygen leak, creating an increased fire risk.

ASSEMBLY AND USE  
• Make certain that your hands are free of oil, grease, and other contaminants.  
• Inspect the unit to insure that it has a manufacturer-specified seal washer in good working  
condition attached to the inlet nozzle.  
• Secure the cylinder in an upright position.  
• Inspect the post valve of the cylinder and the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver to ensure they  
are free of contaminants. If any indication of damage or contamination is detected, DO NOT use  
the equipment and contact your Home Care Provider.  
WARNING! Use ONLY a manufacturer-specified seal washer. Other seal washers may not be  
oxygen compatible and may cause an oxygen leak, creating an increased fire risk. Do not use the  
device if the manufacturer-specified seal washer is missing. Contact your Home Care Provider for  
assistance.  
NON-PORTABLE USE:  
The EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver is designed to extend the life of portable oxygen supplies  
when away from the primary source. While the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver may be used  
with stationary oxygen cylinders, it should only be used while awake and reasonably attentive. The  
EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver is not intended for use during sleep because, in the unlikely  
event of operational malfunction or dislodging of the cannula, the user could be unaware and not  
make the necessary corrections.

CAUTION! If you are unable to eliminate leaks by manually tightening the  
cylinder adjustment handle, replace the seal washer. If leaks persist, the unit must be returned for  
service.  
STEP 5: Attach a standard cannula to the oxygen supply outlet. See page 14 for an illustration  
demonstrating the proper positioning of the nasal cannula.  
13  
 
ASSEMBLY AND USE  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:  
STEP 1: Make sure the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver is set to the “PULSE” position. Battery  
saving technology has eliminated the need for an “OFF” position. The unit will go to “Sleep  
Mode” after three minutes of non-use. The unit will turn on again when an inspiration is  
detected or the Selector Button is pressed.  
STEP 2: To reduce the risk of rapid oxygen recompression and fire, OPEN THE CYLINDER VALVE  
SLOWLY and completely so that the pressure gauge moves slowly as it indicates the  
cylinder pressure.  
STEP 3: Listen for leaks. If a leak is present, close the cylinder valve, check the seal washer, and  
reinstall. If the leak persists, DO NOT USE THE EQUIPMENT. Contact your supplier for repair.  
STEP 4: To select the Rest and Active settings on the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION OM-900M conserver  
(1-6) that are equivalent to your oxygen prescription, press and hold the REST Selector Button  
on the Selector Knob until the appropriate LED display light is illuminated. Next, press and hold  
the Active Selector Button  
illuminated.  
on the Selector Knob until the appropriate LED display light is  
*NOTE: To check your current settings, press and release the appropriate Rest or Active Selector Button  
*NOTE: The Active setting can only be set equal to or greater than that of the Rest setting.  
Because the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION stores the settings from the last  
time it was used, you only have to complete this step before your first  
use or after you have made a change to your normal settings.  
STEP 5: Place the nasal cannula into position with the prongs in the nostrils  
and begin breathing. [Fig. G] The EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver  
will now start to deliver oxygen. The amount of oxygen delivered  
Fig. G  
Proper Positioning of  
Nasal Cannula  
is determined by the setting. Adequate oxygen delivery will be  
achieved because of the precise time in the breathing cycle that the  
pulse of oxygen is deDlivowenrelodad. from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

NOTE: To help prevent possible damage to the unit, keep the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver in a carrying bag. Several  
bags are available for use with different cylinder sizes and configurations.  
STEP 6: When finished using the system, turn off the oxygen supply cylinder  
valve and continue breathing through the nasal cannula until no  
further oxygen is detected.  
STEP 7: Remove the nasal cannula.  
STEP 8: When not in use, store in a clean, dry location.

OXYGEN CYLINDER DURATION  
Because the total delivery of oxygen via the EVOLUTIONTM MOTION conserver is related to  
breathing rates and activity level, it is user adaptive in that the total oxygen delivered per minute  
will automatically adjust with user need. These cylinder durations can vary widely depending on  
whether more time is spent in Rest or Active mode and depending on breath rate.  
To use the duration chart below, you can use an average of your Rest setting and your Active  
setting if you are using your device equally between the two setting options. For example, if your  
Rest setting is “2” and your Active setting is “4”, then your tank duration on an M6(B) cylinder at  
20 breaths a minute would be approximately 4.6 hours. If you spend more time in rest mode, your  
duration would be higher, and if you breathe faster than 20 breaths per minute while active, the  
duration may be lower. This chart is intended to be used as a guide only and is an estimation of  
use times. Actual results may vary.

a person sitting in a car, bus, train, elevator or other  
forms of mobile transportation as activity. If you are a  
passenger, you may choose to adjust the Active Mode  
temporarily to equal your Rest Mode. If you are the  
driver, consult your physician to see if the Active flow  
setting is appropriate. NEVER adjust your settings while  
driving.  
The device may be  
interpreting the car’s  
motion as activity  
Stays in Active  
Mode while  
riding in an  
automobile  
Replace or recharge the batteries  
The battery may be dead  
or depleted  
The Activity  
light does not  
illuminate during  
motion  
Continue activity and monitor situation. The Activity light  
will illuminate after 3-4 seconds of activity  
The activity time was not  
long enough to activate  
the activity sensor  
The time in which the device switches from Active  
Mode back to Rest Mode varies depending upon the  
length of time the user remains active. The longer  
the user remains active, the longer the device takes  
to switch back to Rest Mode once the activity has  
stopped. This is proper operation of the unit.  
Switching times between  
Rest and Active Modes  
are variable  
Sometimes the  
Activity light or  
Activity Mode  
stays on longer
