Oxygen Concentrator 0C5B-5L – Bottle

For the Oxygen Concentrator model 0C5B-5L, the humidifier bottle is an important component, helping to add moisture to the oxygen being delivered to the user, which reduces dryness and irritation in the airways. Here's a quick guide on using and maintaining the bottle:

1. Setting Up the Humidifier Bottle

• Filling the Bottle: Use distilled or sterile water to prevent mineral buildup. Fill the bottle to the maximum fill line marked on the bottle; overfilling can lead to restricted airflow or leakage.
• Attaching to the Concentrator: Screw the bottle into the designated port securely. Connect the oxygen outlet tube from the concentrator to the top of the bottle. Make sure it is tightly sealed.

2. Connecting to Oxygen Delivery Equipment

• Attach the tubing for the nasal cannula or mask to the outlet on the bottle. This outlet is designed to deliver moistened oxygen directly to the user.

3. Maintenance Tips

• Daily Checks: Refill the bottle as needed, and check water levels before each use.
• Cleaning: Empty, clean, and disinfect the bottle at least once a day to prevent bacterial buildup. Wash it with warm water and mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Once a week, soak it in a vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) or follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.
• Replacement: Replace the humidifier bottle every 3-6 months, or more frequently if it shows signs of wear, to maintain optimal hygiene.
