1. 13 Oxygen Concentrator OCSI Sensor OCSI units only The OCSI sensor detects the oxygen concentration of the air being delivered to the patient The sensor consists of an intake and outlet port on each end of a flow path that is encased in an air tight cover The microprocessor determines concentration from the OCSI sensor output and activates alarms when appropriate The limits for alarm conditions are programmed into the software of the microprocessor and are described in the Warning Alarms section of this manual The concentrator takes several minutes to build internal pressure and concentration This is known as the warm up period and the signal from the sensor is ignored by the PCB for ten 10 minutes This means that the alarms associated with the OCSI will not activate until this predetermined amount of time has passed Serial Number Identification The serial number of the CAIRE Companion 5 is located on the back label of the outer case The serial number is in the middle of the label just below the bar code A sample label is shown below AAA ARA daon CBB69XXXXXXXX fzjisos7ons ral Cee HAMANN lt 3 204 B69XXXXXXXX Eaton Figure 7 Serial Number Label End of Life At the end of the service life of the CAIRE Companion 5 it should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations PN 14940837 B 14 Oxygen Concentrator User Controls And System Status Indicators Definition Definitio
