SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Radio Frequency Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
EMC limits specified by IEC/EN 60601‐1‐2. 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.
Avoid creation of any spark near medical oxygen equipment.
This includes sparks from static electricity created by any type
of friction.

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.
