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.  
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 Perfecto2 is  
causing the interference, turn the Perfecto2 Off. If the  
interference with the other device(s) stops, then the Perfecto2  
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 4—TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION  
SECTION 4—TECHNICAL  
DESCRIPTION  
The Invacare Perfecto2 concentrator is used by patients with  
respiratory disorders who require supplemental oxygen. The  
device is not intended to sustain or support life.  
The oxygen concentration level of the output gas ranges from  
87% to 95.6%. The oxygen is delivered to the patient through  
the use of a nasal cannula.  
The Invacare Perfecto2 concentrator uses a molecular sieve  
and pressure swing adsorption methodology to produce the  
oxygen gas output. Ambient air enters the device, is filtered  
and then compressed. This compressed air is then directed  
toward one of two nitrogen adsorbing sieve beds.  
Concentrated oxygen exits the opposite end of the active sieve  
bed and is directed into an oxygen reservoir where it is  
delivered to the patient.  
The Invacare Perfecto2 concentrator is capable of operation by  
the patient in a home environment or in an institutional  
environment. Device operates at a nominal 230 VAC/50 Hertz  
supply.  
Service information will be available upon request to  
qualified technical personnel only.
