Setting Up the Bubble-CPAP Concentrator

Follow the steps below to use the bubble-CPAP concentrator:

1. Position the concentrator so that it is at least 30 cm away from walls or curtains, so that the

inlet opening at the back is not obstructed.

2. Plug the power cord into the mains electricity supply, and turn on the concentrator.

3. Switch on the concentrator (switch on the console). A yellow light should turn on and remain

lit for a few minutes (usually within 10 minutes) until the concentration of the gas supplied

reaches and exceeds 85± 3% O₂. The yellow light should then turn off after this time, showing

that the concentrator is running correctly.

4. Fill the bottle to the level indicated with boiled water that has been allowed to cool, and screw

the lid back on.

5. Connect the inspiratory limb of the circuit to the main gas outlet.

6. Connect the expiratory limb of the circuit to the bottle.

7. Dial up the level of CPAP required: start at 7 cmH
