Starting Oxygen Delivery from the VIAspire Portable
To receive oxygen from your VIAspire Portable, follow these steps.
1Push the cannula breathing tube firmly onto the oxygen outlet port.
2Adjust the cannula breathing tube to the proper position so that you will be able to breathe the oxygen comfortably.
4With each breath, you should now be receiving a set dosage of gaseous oxygen.
•The green LED battery indicator will light up with each breath, signaling that the VIAspire Portable is being trig- gered to deliver oxygen. The LED monitors only battery power and does not indicate level of liquid oxygen available in reservoir.
•When it is time to replace the batteries, the red LED battery indicator will light up with each breath. The red LED battery indicator will be lit solid (not blinking with each breath) if the batteries are totally depleted.
NOTE When the red LED indicator lights up, replace the batteries as soon as possible or switch to continuous flow by changing the CF/SD (Continuous Flow/ SmartDose) switch to the CF setting. Continuous Flow mode does not require batteries.
NOTE The green LED battery indicator will light up with each breath, regardless of the liquid oxygen con- tents, even if the portable has no liquid oxygen left.
3Turn the flow rate selection knob clockwise until the prescribed flow rate (from 0 to 5) appears in the window. Assure that the CF/SD switch is in the “SD” position.
