Oxygen Concentrator V5C – Air Filter & Casing

For the Oxygen Concentrator model V5C, the air filter and its casing are essential for maintaining clean oxygen flow and protecting the device’s internal components. Here’s a breakdown on their function, maintenance, and replacement guidelines:

1. Air Filter Function in the V5C

• The air filter in the V5C removes dust, allergens, and other impurities from the air before it enters the concentrator's system. This not only protects the machine but also ensures that the oxygen delivered is clean and safe.

2. Maintenance of the Air Filter

• Frequency: Check the filter weekly. In more polluted or dusty environments, it may need more frequent cleaning.
• Cleaning Process:
  • Remove the filter from its casing following the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Rinse the filter under lukewarm water to remove dust and debris. Avoid using soap unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Let the filter dry completely before placing it back in the concentrator. Reinstalling a damp filter can cause mold growth or damage the concentrator.

3. Casing Maintenance

• Cleaning the Casing: Periodically, wipe down the filter casing with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Make sure it’s dry before reinserting the filter to prevent moisture from entering the system.

4. Replacement of the Air Filter

• Over time, the filter can become less effective at capturing particles. It’s generally recommended to replace the air filter every 3-6 months, depending on usage and air quality. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on replacement parts to ensure compatibility with the V5C model.

5. Reinstallation Tips

• Ensure the filter is securely placed in the casing before closing the compartment to prevent leaks or compromised filtration. Double-check the fit to make sure it’s tight but not forced.

Regular maintenance of the air filter and casing will help the V5C concentrator run efficiently and extend its lifespan
