Quick Takeaways

Basic setup steps
Place the concentrator on a stable, ventilated surface. Connect the tubing to the chamber or accessory. Confirm airflow before bringing your pet in.
- Do not place the machine against a wall
- Avoid bent or pinched tubing
- Stay nearby for the first 10-15 minutes
What to monitor
Watch breathing rate, effort, gum colour, alertness and posture. If your pet becomes more distressed or breathing worsens, stop and contact your vet.
- Is breathing calmer?
- Can your pet lie down and relax?
- Are gums still pale or blue?
Cleaning and daily care
Chambers, tubing and masks contact your pet closely, so keep them clean and dry. Keep the machine exterior free from dust and pet hair.
- Dry condensation after use
- Avoid strong-smelling cleaners
- Clean or replace tubing if wet or dirty
