Using the EasyPulse POC
1. Verify battery status (level) prior to each use, charge as necessary.
2. Connect the end of a standard adult single lumen oxygen nasal cannula
with a maximum length of 7 feet (2.1 m) to the POC’s oxygen outlet fitting.
To ensure proper device operation, use only
an adult single lumen cannula maximum 7
ft (2.1 m).
3. Place the cannula over your ears and position
the prongs in your nose as instructed by your
Equipment Provider or cannula manufacturer.
OR
4. Prior to operation, ensure the inlet and exhaust vents on the POC are clear.
Any blockage of the vents can inhibit performance.
5. Choose one of the 3 power options: AC Power Adapter, DC Power Adapter or
Internal Battery (Refer to the “POWER SUPPLY” section of the user manual
for details on these 3 options).
6. Turn “ON” the POC by rotating the setting knob clockwise until the knob points
to your prescribed flow setting number and the number is illuminated green.
7. Breathe normally through your nose. A measured pulse of oxygen will be
delivered each time the POC senses an inhalation. To show the POC is
triggering properly the illuminated setting number will turn off briefly each
time it senses an inhalation.
8. To turn “OFF” the POC, rotate the setting knob counterclockwise to the
“OFF” ( ) position.
WARNING
ISO 80601-2-69 (Standard for Oxygen Concentrators) highly
recommends that the patient cannula that delivers gas to the patient
from the oxygen concentrator should include a Fire Stop Check Valve
to stop the flow of gas towards the patient in the case that the cannula
becomes ignited. The Fire Stop Check Valve should be located as
close to the patient as reasonably practicable.
