FAQs On Drive Medical Humidifier Bottle For Oxygen Concentrator

How Does the Drive 15 LPM Oxygen Concentrator Humidifier Bottle Work?

To connect the Drive 15LPM Humidifier Bottle to your oxygen concentrator, first, ensure that the device is not powered on. Next, using distilled water, fill the bottle to the “Max” line and twist the multi-threaded lid until it is securely attached. Locate the humidifier shelf on your oxygen concentrator (typically on top of the unit or directly underneath the oxygen outlet) and secure it in place with the adjustable Velcro straps.

Use the humidifier adapter tubing (sold separately) to connect the lid of the humidifier to the outlet port on the oxygen device. Then, connect your nasal cannula or oxygen tubing to the outlet port located on the side of the lid. If done correctly, bubbles should appear in the water when the device is turned on and oxygen begins to flow. If no bubbles appear, there may be a leak. Check that the lid and the adapter tubing are secured properly and that there is no damage.

When the water reaches the “Re-fill” line, pour more water into the bottle.

What Kind Of Water Can Be Used In Drive Medical Humidifier Bottle For Oxygen Concentrator?

In the humidifier bottle for the oxygen concentrator, you should use distilled water during therapy and change the water every day. If you suspect that no oxygen is flowing through the tubing, then place the tube in the water and watch whether bubbles form. If bubbles form then oxygen is flowing through the tubing.
