SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES  
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES  
In order to ensure the safe installation, assembly and  
operation of the Platinum concentrator these instructions  
MUST be followed.  
WARNING  
This section contains important information for the safe  
operation and use of this product.  
To Reduce the Risk of Burns,  
Electrocution, Fire or Injury to Persons  
DANGER  
Risk of electric shock. DO NOT disassemble. Refer servicing  
to qualified service personnel. No user serviceable parts.  
Avoid using while bathing. If continuous usage is required  
by the physician’s prescription, the concentrator MUST be  
located in another room at least 7 ft from the bath.  
DO NOT come in contact with the concentrator while wet.  
DO NOT place or store product where it can drop into  
water or other liquid.  
DO NOT reach for product that has fallen into water.  
Unplug IMMEDIATELY.  
If the concentrator has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not  
working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or  
dropped into water, call qualified technician for  
examination and repair.  
A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease  
or greasy substances come in contact with oxygen under  
pressure. These substances MUST be kept away from the  
oxygen concentrator, tubing and connections, and all  
other oxygen equipment. DO NOT use any lubricants  
unless recommended by Invacare.  
Avoid creation of any spark near medical oxygen  
equipment. This includes sparks from static electricity  
created by any type of friction.

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES  
Operating Information  
For optimum performance, Invacare recommends that each  
concentrator be on and running for a minimum of 30 minutes  
at a time. Shorter periods of operation may reduce maximum  
product life.  
Keep the oxygen tubing, cord, and unit out from under such  
items as blankets, bed coverings, chair cushions, clothing and  
away from heated or hot surfaces, including space heaters,  
stoves and similar electrical appliances.  
DO NOT move or relocate concentrator by pulling on the  
power cord.  
NEVER drop or insert any object or liquid into any opening.  
Invacare recommends that CrushProof oxygen tubing be  
used with this product and not exceed 15.2 m (50 ft) in length.  
There are no user serviceable parts. This does not include  
normal maintenance items. See maintenance section for user  
maintenance items.  
A product should NEVER be left unattended when plugged  
in. Make sure the Platinum is Off when not in use.  
Close supervision is necessary when this product is used near  
children or physicallychallenged individuals.  
Additional monitoring or attention may be required for  
patients using this device who are unable to hear or see  
alarms or communicate discomfort.  
DO NOT connect the concentrator in parallel or series with  
other oxygen concentrators or oxygen therapy devices.  
Radio Frequency Interference  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with  
EMC limits specified by IEC/EN 6060112. These limits are  
designed to provide a reasonable protection against  
electromagnetic interference in a typical medical installation.

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES  
Other devices may experience interference from even the low  
levels of electromagnetic emissions permitted by the above  
standards. To determine if the emissions from the Platinum is  
causing the interference, turn the Platinum Off. If the  
interference with the other device(s) stops, then the Platinum  
is causing the interference. In such rare cases, interference  
may be reduced or corrected by one of the following  
measures:  
• Reposition, relocate, or increase the separation  
between the equipment.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different  
from that to which the other device(s) is connected.

SECTION 5—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
SECTION 5—OPERATING  
INSTRUCTIONS  
Introduction  
Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use  
indoors. It is an electronically operated device that separates  
oxygen from room air. It provides high concentration of oxygen  
directly to you through a nasal cannula. Clinical studies have  
documented that oxygen concentrators are therapeutically  
equivalent to other types of oxygen delivery systems.  
Your provider will show you how to use your oxygen  
concentrator. He/She should be contacted with any questions  
or problems regarding your oxygen concentrator. This  
owners manual will tell you about your concentrator and will  
serve as a reference as you use your concentrator.  
Select a Location  
WARNING  
NEVER block the air openings of the product or place it on a  
soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air opening may  
be blocked. Keep the openings free from lint, hair and the like.  
Keep unit at least 3 inches away from walls, draperies,  
furniture, and the like.  
You may select a room where using your oxygen concentrator  
would be most convenient. Your concentrator can be easily  
rolled from room to room on its casters.  
The air intake of the unit should be located in a well ventilated  
area to avoid airborne pollutants and/or fumes. DO NOT  
place in a closet.

POLARIZED PLUG WARNING  
As a safety feature, this appliance may have a polarized plug  
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a  
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the  
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified  
electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.  
Connect Humidifier (If So Prescribed)  
WARNING  
DO NOT overfill humidifier.  
DO NOT reverse the oxygen input and output connections.  
Water from the humidifier bottle will travel through the  
cannula back to the patient.  
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.1, FIGURE 5.2 and  
NOTE: For Platinum 5, XL recommended humidifiers are:  
Invacare 3260, 00340, or 00640. For Platinum 10, recommended  
humidifiers are high flow: 790010, 790025.  
1. Remove cap and fill humidifier bottle with distilled water  
to the level indicated by the manufacturer.  
2. Replace the humidifier cap and securely tighten.

Flowrate  
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.6 on page 20.  
1. Turn the flowrate knob to the setting prescribed by your  
physician or therapist.  
CAUTION  
Never set the flow greater than 5 L/min on the IRC5.  
Never set the flow greater than 10L/min on the IRC10.  
WARNING  
DO NOT change the L/min setting on the flowmeter unless a  
change has been prescribed by your physician or therapist.  
NOTE: To properly read the flowmeter, locate the prescribed flowrate  
line on the flowmeter. Next, turn the flow knob until the ball rises to  
the line. Now, center the ball on the L/min. line prescribed.  
2. If the flowrate on the flowmeter ever falls below 0.5 L/min  
for Platinum 5 (1 L/min for Platinum 10) for more than  
about one minute, the LOW FLOW alarm will be  
triggered. This is a rapid beeping of the audible alarm.  
Check your tubing or accessories for blocked or kinked  
tubing or a defective humidifier bottle. After rated flow is  
restored, more than 0.5 L/min for Platinum 5 (1 L/min for  
Platinum 10), the LOW FLOW audible alarm will go off.  
NOTE: The use of some accessories such as the pediatric flowstand  
and the HomeFill compressor will deactivate the Low Flow Alarm.
