Oxygen Concentrator 0C5B-5L – FilterBact

The FilterBact in the Oxygen Concentrator 0C5B-5L serves as an essential component for maintaining clean and safe oxygen delivery. Here's an overview of its function, maintenance, and replacement guidelines:

1. Function of FilterBact

• Bacterial Filtration: The FilterBact is specifically designed to filter out bacteria and other microorganisms from the air that enters the concentrator. This helps ensure that the oxygen delivered to the user is not only clean but also free from harmful pathogens.
• Enhancing User Safety: By trapping bacteria and other contaminants, the FilterBact plays a critical role in preventing respiratory infections and maintaining the health of users, especially those with compromised immune systems.

2. Maintenance of FilterBact

• Check Regularly: It is advisable to check the FilterBact regularly, at least once a month, or more frequently if the concentrator is used extensively or in a dusty environment.
• Cleaning: Unlike pre-filters, the FilterBact typically cannot be washed. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding cleaning or servicing.
• Visual Inspection: If the filter appears dirty or clogged, it may need replacement. Ensure there is no visible dust buildup, discoloration, or damage.

3. Replacement of FilterBact

• Replacement Frequency: Generally, the FilterBact should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage and environmental conditions.
• Using Compatible Parts: Always use the manufacturer-recommended FilterBact for the 0C5B-5L model to ensure compatibility and effectiveness.

4. Installation Tips

• When replacing the FilterBact, make sure to install it correctly according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure it fits snugly to avoid any gaps that could allow unfiltered air to enter the system.

5. Monitoring Performance

• Pay attention to any changes in oxygen delivery or performance of the concentrator. If you notice unusual sounds or reduced flow rates, check the filters, including the FilterBact, for any issues.
