Please refer to the manufacturer's instruction manual for the basic concentrator maintenance information. 

Additional Suggestions from the CPAP Shack:

• You should always operate the concentrator in a well-ventilated area. Ventilators need to have  fresh, clean air to operate properly. 

• If you place them in a closet or small  room,  or  Motor Home please  remember to keep  a windows cracked open.

• Most concentrators require that you wash your filters  Monthly  and replace them yearly.

•  Your concentrator should have its filters and purity levels of the concentrator  examined according to the manufactures guide lines . This can be done by your oxygen provider.

 When you purchase  your  concentrator try to get one with  an oxygen-sensor device. This will help you monitors the purity level of oxygen being produced by  your concentrator  . If the purity level falls it will warn you  .  If your machine has this warming device, you will see a lights on the face of your concentrator and you will get a warning sound. If your   concentrator does not have a Oxygen sensor built in it is Very important to have your concentrator tested for its oxygen purity every three months.
