SECTION 5 —OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Platinum™Series 24 Part No 1145728
Flowrate
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.6 on page 24.
1. Turn the flowrate knob to the setting prescribed by your
physician or therapist.
ƽ WARNING
DO NOT change the L/min. setting on the flowmeter
unless a change has been prescribed by your physician or
therapist.
NOTE: To properly read the flowmeter, locate the prescribed flowrate
line on the flowmeter. Next, turn the flow knob until the ball rises to
the line. Now, center the ball on the L/min. line prescribed.
2. If the flowrate on the flowmeter ever falls below 0.5 L/min.
for Platinum 5 (1 L/min. for Platinum 10) for more than
about one minute, the LOW FLOW alarm will be
triggered. This is a rapid beeping of the audible alarm.
Check your tubing or accessories for blocked or kinked
tubing or a defective humidifier bottle. After rated flow is
restored, more than 0.5 L/min. for Platinum 5 (1 L/min. for
Platinum 10), the LOW FLOW audible alarm will go off.
NOTE: The use of some accessories such as the pediatric flowstand
and the HomeFill II compressor will deactivate the Low Flow Alarm.
