Using the Stationary Unit

Your liquid oxygen supplier will deliver a filled Stationary unit to you

and then refill or exchange your unit as required by your individual

usage. You may then use the Stationary unit to fill your Portable oxygen

unit. For filling procedures, see “Filling the Portable” (page 15).

You can use the Companion Stationary directly as a source of breathing

oxygen (except for Companion Low Loss units). For this application,

connect a humidifier (optional) and a nasal cannula or other breathing

device directly to the Stationary’s breathing oxygen supply outlet as

follows:

1. If a humidifier is used, fill it with distilled water to the level indicated

in the humidifier’s instructions. Attach the humidifier to the

breathing oxygen supply fitting on the Stationary unit (Figure 5).

Figure 5: Preparing the Stationary Unit for Breathing

2. Attach the oxygen tubing from the cannula to the breathing oxygen

supply connection or to the humidifier connection, as appropriate.

Adjust the cannula to your face (Figure 6).
