Part III Working Principle and Routine Checking Operations
3.1 Working principle
Oxygen Concentrator for Medical Use adopts the principle of the world-advanced pressure swing
adsorption technology. At normal temperature, the machine can continuously separate medical oxygen
with high density (93%±3% oxygen for medical use) from the air when its power is turned on.

Note: Using oxygen concentrator doesn’t influence oxygen content in the air of the room.

Air enters the OC Oxygen Concentrator through an external cabinet air intake filter. This filtered air
enters the compressor, and pressurized air then exits the compressor and passes through a radiator,
which reduces the temperature of the compressed air. Next, an pneumatic valve system directs the air
into one of two sieve beds that contain molecular sieve. The special characteristic property of molecular
sieve is that it physically attracts (adsorbs) nitrogen when air passes through this material, thus enabling
the production of high purity oxygen.
There are two sieve beds or adsorbent columns; while one produces high purity oxygen, the other is
purged of the nitrogen it adsorbed (collected) while it was producing oxygen. Each column produces
oxygen and delivers it to the oxygen tank. Oxygen exits the oxygen tank through a pressure regulator,
flow control valve, flow meter, and bacteria filter. The flow control valve, which is part of the flow meter,
controls the flow rate of oxygen delivered to the patient. The OC unit delivers up to 93%±3% oxygen
concentration at rated flow. The remaining constituents of the product gas stream are nitrogen and argon,
both of which are part of the air we breathe, are inert and are completely safe.
3.2 Checking operation
SYSMED runs each device through a burn in period and tests every OC Oxygen Concentrator
thoroughly after manufacture before releasing for shipment. As the dealer, it is your responsibility to
perform the following test to ensure that no damage occurred in shipping or handling.
（1）Open and inspect all concentrator cartons upon receipt. Unpack each unit and remove it from its
carton. Inspect the unit itself for damage. If the exterior of the carton is damaged, or the unit itself is
damaged, note it on the freight bill signed by the driver.
 Before inserting the plug of power cord into the power socket, turn on the power switch and note that
the audible alarm sounds continuously. (See Part III 3.3). And then off the power.
（2）Plug in the power cord of the unit, and set the I/0 (ON/OFF) switch to the I (ON) position. Check

5
to see that the following occurs:
 The compressor runs, listen for the sound.
 Exhaust air flows out of the bottom of the unit.
 OPTIONAL for Units Equipped with Oxygen Concentration Indicator: The green light remains flicker
until the oxygen concentration reaches 85%. (approximately six minutes).
（3）Turn the flow meter adjustment knob counterclockwise to see if it works well, If not, refer to Part
VII troubleshooting guide.
（4）Perform an oxygen concentration test, as described in Part III 3.4.
3.3 Alarm System
The OC Oxygen Concentrator is equipped with alarm system, which sounds a continuous and loud
alarm when a power failure occurs or when one or more cycle variables are not within specification. It
sounds an alarm if the high or low pressure indicators are activated. The alarm remains on until you
correct the alarm condition or you set the I/0 (ON/OFF) switch to the 0 (OFF) position. Refer to Part VII for
a list of probable alarm causes.
3.3.1 Power Failure Alarm Test
To test the power failure alarm, perform the following actions:
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and set the I/0 (ON/OFF) switch to the I (ON) position.
This should immediately activate the audible alarm. If it doesn’t, refer to the troubleshooting guide in Part
VII of this manual.
3.4 Oxygen Concentration Test and Specification
To ensure that the output of oxygen from the device is within specification, you must perform an
oxygen concentration test. Test the unit upon delivery to a patient and at periodic intervals. Dealers,
based on their expertise and documentation, may establish and implement their own plans for checking
oxygen concentration. The interval established may be longer or shorter than 180 days, which is
SYSMED default time period for providers who do not choose to establish their own plan.
（1）Remove oxygen humidifier bottle from the oxygen outlet.
（2）Connect a calibrated oxygen concentration analyzer to the oxygen outlet.
（3）Set the I/0 (ON/OFF) power switch to the I (ON) position. (It takes approximately 6 minutes for
the oxygen concentration to stabilize.) Take oxygen concentration readings over a period of several
minutes to reduce any cyclic variations
（4）Verify that the product flow rate delivered by the unit matches the patient’s prescription and
does not exceed the capacity of the unit.
（5）Disconnect the oxygen analyzer, and reconnect the humidifier bottle and any other equipment /
accessories that may be required.
（6）Adjust the flow meter adjustment knob to the prescribed flow rate.
NOTE: Do not measure oxygen concentration output after the product stream passes through a
humidifier bottle, erroneous readings will result and your oxygen concentration measuring device might
be damaged.

4.1 General instructions
It is important that patients thoroughly understand how to operate the SYSMED OC unit. This
enables proper treatment as prescribed by a qualified, licensed physician. You must explain that the
purpose of this therapy is to alleviate symptoms. If patients experience any discomfort or the unit alarms,
they must notify their Home Service Provider and/or physician immediately. You, as the Dealer, are
responsible to see that each patient receives the Patient Manual. Explain each step in the operation of
the unit to the patient in reference to this manual.

4.2 Routine maintenance by the user

To ensure accurate output and efficient operation of the unit, the patient must perform two simple
routine maintenance tasks:
 Cleaning the cabinet air inlet filter
 Cleaning nasal tube and humidifier bottle

4.2.1 Cleaning the cabinet air inlet filter

（1）In the condition of power off, make a clean for the outside case by soft wet towel with little
detergent, and then wipe it up with dry towel, once or twice per month.
（2）Air intake filter is used to prevent dust, and need to be cleaned regularly. It is a critical step for
ordinary maintenance to clean the filter, at least once a week depending on environmental conditions.
The filter may require daily cleaning if the OC unit operates in a harsh environment. Operation steps
as below:
A. Take off the two filter nets on both sides of the case, take out the sponge mesh.
B. Rinse the sponge mesh with clean water. Get ride of extra water and dry up naturally.
C. Set back after dry up for future use.
D. Or use the back up one.

NOTE: If replacement is needed, please use the same SYSMED accessories.

Do not operate the unit without the air intake filter in place.

4.2.2 Cleaning nasal tube and humidifier bottle

(1) Clean the cannula every day. First clean with detergent and then rinse with clean water
completely, and dry up naturally. Changing a new cannula once a month is recommended.
(2) The distilled water or cold boiled water in humidifier should be refreshed every day.
The humidifier should be cleaned and disinfected every 3 weeks, clean the humidifier with detergent
and then rinse with warm or hot water, dip it in household disinfectant for 20-30 minutes, clean again with
warm or hot water, and then dry up naturally. If not use, put it in a clean bag.

Part V Distributor/dealer Maintenance

5.1 Routine maintenance
7
 The OC unit has three filters that require scheduled maintenance and replacement. To ensure that
the output of oxygen from the unit is within specification, you must perform an oxygen concentration test.
Test the unit upon delivery to a patient and at periodic intervals. Dealer, based on their expertise and
documentation, may establish and implement their own practices for checking oxygen concentration. The
interval established may be longer or shorter than 180 days, which is the default time period
recommended for providers who do not choose to establish their method.
SYSMED does not require preventive maintenance on the concentrator. You do not need to perform
any maintenance as long as the OC unit remains within specifications at the prescribed flow rate. (Refer
to Part III 3.4)
5.1.1 Cabinet air inlet filter
The external cabinet air filter is located on the two sides of the unit near the bottom; it is easily
removed by hand. Instruct the patient to clean this filter weekly.
(Refer to Part IV 4.2.a.)
5.1.2 Inlet filter replacement
The inlet filter requires changing every 6 months or 4,000 hours of
use. See Fig.1
(1) Turn off the power, and unplug the power cord.
(2) Remove the filter access panel to remove the intake filter.
(3) Replace with a new filter.
(4) Reinstall the access panel.
Fig.1
5.1.3 Bacteria filter replacement
The bacteria filter must be replaced after every 2 years or 16,000
hours of use. See Fig.2
(1) Turn off the power, and unplug the power cord.
(2) Remove the cabinet back to locate the bacteria filter.
NOTE: Observe the position of the filter before removal.
(3) Separate the silicone tubing from both sides of the filter. Fig.2
(4) Install the new filter with the inlet side in the same position as before.
(5) Reinstall the cabinet back.
5.1.4 Taking record
As the dealer, it is suggested that you record all routine maintenance and repairs performed on the
OC unit, including hours and dates of service.
5.2 Preparing for new user
With the growing concern about possible cross infection from home oxygen equipment from one
home care patient to another, appropriate cautions should be exercised.
When you remove the OC unit from a patient’s home, always dispose of the used nasal cannula and
humidifier bottle. Clean the exterior of the OC unit with a soapy water solution or commercial detergent
cleaner to remove any debris, organic or otherwise. Be careful not to get any liquid into the interior of the
unit. Next, clean the exterior with either a common chemical disinfectant and allow it to air dry. Retest the
OC unit before you return it to your inventory.
Replace the cabinet dust filter between each patient’s use or clean with warm soapy water if it is in
good condition. Clean this filter at least once per week or more frequently if operated in a dusty
environment. Change the bacteria filter every 2 years or 16,000 hours of use (under adverse conditions,
filter may need to be changed more frequently if dingy or dirty) It is recommended to change the bacteria
filter between patients.
Part VI Repair/replacement Guide

 CAUTION: For your safety, be sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord before
you service the OC Oxygen Concentrator.
NOTE: Record all scheduled maintenance.

6.2 Cabinet removal

6.2.1 Removal cabinet front and back
To remove the cabinet front and back, remove the filter access panel and air intake filter grille first,
and then remove six screws which placed on the back of the handle and near the middle and bottom of
the cabinet of the two sides. See Fig. 5
Remove the cabinet back first, then disconnect tubes, wires and connector related to remove cabinet
front. And usually it’s not necessary to remove the cabinet front unless the LCD and power switch need to
be replaced.

Fig.5
NOTE: Pay attention to the force used in dismantling or assembling process in case of making the
linkage section broken.
6.2.2 Main structure
The weight and foal components rest solely on four parts: the main structure, the compressor plate,
the base-plate and the base. These parts were specially designed and formed. They should never
require replacement under normal use.
6.2.3 Caster replacement
The casters are a push in type that do not require any fasteners. Lay the device on its back to access
the casters from the bottom. Pull them straight out away from the bottom, and then insert new on.
6.3 Compressor
The compressor is the pump within the oxygen concentrator that supplies air to the sieve beds, and
forces oxygen to flow out of the top of the oxygen tank.
The compressor is the likely cause of two potential specific problems:
a. An insufficient amount of air is supplied to the process.
b. An excessive sound level.
 Air Supply
Compressor output refers to how much compressed air the compressor can produce. This depends
upon the model of the compressor, length of stroke, piston diameter, speed of rotation and condition of
seals. The cup seals form the seal between the piston and the cylinder wall. As the cup seals wear, the
output begins to gradually decrease. This reduction in compressor output results in less air, and thus less
oxygen, entering the sieve beds. Therefore, the production of oxygen decreases.

13
 Because this drop in oxygen production occurs over a long period of time, preventive maintenance
on the compressor is not required.
You can continue a patient’s therapy on the OC unit as long as the oxygen concentration level at the
prescribed liter flow rate is within SYSMED specification limits. Refer to Part 3.4.
 Sound Level
The sound level is largely determined by the condition of the compressor’s bearings.
There are four bearings located within the compressor that allow the inner components of the
compressor to rotate. If the bearings wear to the point that they become loose and noisy, the compressor
becomes noticeably loud and needs servicing. The life of a compressor is determined primarily by its
operating temperature. It is extremely important that the inlet cooling air filters are cleaned and replaced
as required.
6.3.1 Compressor replacement
To remove the compressor assembly for replacement, follow the steps listed below:
(1) Turn off the power, and unplug the power cord.
(2) Remove the cabinet back.
(3) Remove the two screws that connect the compressor side plate, lift and slide out the compressor
assembly.
(4) Take off the capacitor from its mount, disconnect the connector of the compressor power wires.
(5) Unscrew the bolt which fixed the yellow and green ground wires.
(6) Remove the screw which fixed the wire harness retainer.
(7) Take off the inlet filter. Remove the screw to take off the baffle plate.
(8) Turn anti-clockwise to take off the external canister of the inlet canister, remove the screw, turn
the inside canister assembly anti-clockwise to disconnect the inlet tube, while holding the inlet tube metal
head.
(9) At the opposite side of the compressor, Snip the cable tie of the outlet tube with diagonal pliers,
and pull off the outlet tube.
(10) Remove the four compressor bolts and take out the springs.
(11) Check to see all related parts disconnected, then lift and slide out the compressor from one
side.
(12) Turn the inlet tube anti-clockwise to take off. Remove the safety valve and outlet connector of
the compressor.
(13) Remove the compressor from the plate by removing the four screws with solid wrench.
(14) Snip the capacitor wire.

6.4 Pneumatic valve replacement
The OC uses a pneumatic valve assembly to control the air separation process. There is a feed port
that connects to the radiator and an exhaust port that connects to the exhaust muffler outlet.
The pneumatic valve of the OC unit requires no scheduled maintenance. If a valve does not function
as required, it is best to replace the complete sieve beds as it is probable that one or both of the beds has
been damaged. You can make a check first, if the oxygen concentrator is normal after replacement of
pneumatic valve, then it’s no need to replace the sieve beds.
To replace the pneumatic valve, take the following steps:
(1) Turn off the power, and unplug the power cord.
(2) Remove the cabinet back.
(3) Disconnect the pneumatic valve wire connector first. Then pull off the inlet tube and outlet tube.

Part VII Troubleshooting

7.1 The machine working pressure test
Testing the operating pressure is a useful diagnostic tool
when a concentrator has low purity and requires servicing.
Units functioning normally do not require operating tests.
Use the following procedure to test the operating pressure of
the unit.
(1) Turn off the power, and unplug the power cord.
(2) Remove the cabinet back.
(3) Remove the oxygen supply tube from cabinet front, connect
the tube directly to the pressure test gauge.
(4) Plug in the power cord, and turn on the power. Set the flow
meter to rated flow, and allow the unit to run at least six
minutes.
(5) Observe the readings on the pressure test gauge.
The reading should be 7.345 ± 10% psi. (0.05±0.005Mpa)
NOTE: When you turn the unit on, it will take several minutes
to reach normal operating pressures.

7.2 General Troubleshooting

Before reviewing the troubleshooting chart, the following steps may be useful to analyze any
malfunctions:
(1) Turn the concentrator on. If unit does not operate, refer to troubleshooting chart.
(2) Make sure all filters are clean.
(3). Set the concentrator at rated flow, connect test pressure gauge to tube witch connect the outlet of the
pressure regulator valve. The pressure should read approximately 7.345 ± 10% psi. If pressures are
high or low, refer to the troubleshooting chart.
(4) Make sure that the unit is leak free by testing all tubing connections and fittings with leak testing
solution. Protect circuit board from solution and start leak test at the compressor outlet, following the air
flow through the unit to the oxygen outlet. Repair all leaks by tightening connections and fittings.
(5) Review troubleshooting chart to analyze and repair any other malfunctions.
