10 Maintenance
To ensure satisfactory function of OXYTRON
2 Mobile and
OXYTRON
2 Private, a function check should be carried out by
the user immediately after each use, but at least every 6
months.
Here attention should also be paid to the instructions described
in point 7 "Cleaning and Disinfection".
In addition, the battery test should be carried out (see point 9.2).
Check the filling level of the oxygen cylinders. We recommend
keeping a stock of spare seals for the instrument connections.
Every 3 years, the instrument should be overhauled by the
manufacturer, whereby the inhalation-specific parameters,
working elements and leak-tightness will be checked and any
worn parts replaced.
Note:
It is to recommend that the fittings (e.g., the pressure reducers)
be checked and overhauled by Weinmann Hamburg or
authorized specialists every 4 years.
Oxygen cylinders are subject to approval by the appropriate
authorities (in Germany by the TÜV). Please observe any
regulations as to testing and/or approval of oxygen cylinders,
which separately may be required in your country.
11 Safety Precautions
For your and your patients safety as well as for the require-
ments of the Directive 93/42 EEC we point out to the following:
● Follow these instructions, which are an integral part of the
instrument.
● Complete familiarity with and close observation of these
instructions are prerequisites for every use of this instrument.
This instrument is to be used only for the described purpose.
● Do not use the instrument with a humidifier.
● Pay close attention to the operating instructions under Points
5 and 8 as well as the important tips.
● If the equipment and spare parts recommended in these
instructions are replaced with those from another manufactu-
rer, the functioning and the biological compatibility could be
compromised.
● We recommend that servicing and repairs are carried out
solely by the manufacturer, Weinmann Hamburg.

2 Mobile, with the inhalation-impulse-controlled
OXYTRON
®
2 oxygen conserver is a portable instrument system
for oxygen therapy.
OXYTRON
®
2 Mobile is used:
● … to increase the percentage of the oxygen volume in
the inspired air.
● … to reduce the oxygen consumption without loosing
any therapeutic effect.
● … to increase the mobility.
● … to decrease the drying-out of the airways during
oxygen inhalation.
1.1.2 OXYTRON
®
2 Private
OXYTRON
®
2 Private is a combination of a stationary and
portable oxygen unit. In addition to the purpose of OXYTRON
®
2
Mobile, it enables a considerable longer oxygen supply in
home therapy.
OXYTRON

Important information for travellers
Compressed oxygen is subject to the regulations for transport
of dangerous goods and is included in Imco Class 2, UN 1072.
Ask your travelling organiser well in advance which regulations
have to be adhered to and which documents are necessary.
This is valid for travel by air and by sea.
When refilling oxygen cylinders abroad, it should be taken into
consideration that the standard sizes of the cylinder valves are
often different. Suitable adapters, available as special
accessories, should be carried for this purpose.
1.2 Function
The fixed, two-stage pressure reducer (3) reduces the cylinder
pressure from max. 200 bar to the necessary operating
pressure of 1.6 bar. The oxygen delivery rate is 2 l/min.
