SECTION 14—ACCESSORIES
Installing/Removing the Oxygen Holder
WARNING
Contact your oxygen supplier for instructions in the use of oxygen. Extreme care MUST be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electric circuits.
The Invacare oxygen holder is designed to be used in conjunction with oxygen cylinder models MD15 and ME24 only.
To maintain safety, use only Invacare oxygen cylinder accessories (i.e. regulator, oxygen demand devices).
DO NOT use the oxygen holder for anything other than its intended purpose of supporting an oxygen cylinder - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
DO NOT attempt to modify the oxygen holder to fit any other type of wheelchair. The oxygen holder was designed specifically for Invacare wheelchairs only.
The installation of the oxygen holder onto the back of the wheelchair seat significantly increases the length of the wheelchair. When turning the wheelchair it is important to take note of this increased length - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
When using nasal or masked type administering equipment, oxygen or air tubing MUST be routed and secured properly to ensure that the tubing does not become entangled, kinked or severed. If necessary, loosen but DO NOT remove the mounting knob.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to
FIGURE 14.2.
NOTE: Reverse the following procedure to remove the oxygen holder.
NOTE: The O2 holder assembly can be mounted on the RIGHT or LEFT side of the seat back. Determine the appropriate side prior to installation.
1.Remove the top and bottom mounting screws and washers securing the upper hinge to the seat. Retain screws to install the O2 holder.
2.Align the O2 holder mounting holes with the mounting holes in the upper hinge and seat back as shown in FIGURE 14.2.
