Note: Liquid level gauge readings are most accurate
30 seconds or more after the Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow
Stroller is filled.

7. You may also see vapor around the connection.
This is normal and is due to the great differencein temperature between the liquid oxygen and thewarm air surrounding the units.
8. When the unit is full, close the vent valve. You
can tell that the unit is full when the hissing soundchanges in tone, and some liquid comes out of thevent line.
Note: Closing the valve after a nearly continuous
stream of liquid is discharging fills the Sprint/Stroller/Hi
Flow Stroller most completely, but wastes some liquid
oxygen.

5. Carefully and firmly rotate the Sprint/Stroller/Hi
Flow Stroller back to the upright position. Now
the units are locked together.

Note: Closing the valve at the first sign of liquid discharge does not fill the Sprint/Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller
as completely, but saves liquid oxygen.
9. For the push-on style connectors, push the release button down until the units separate. For allother connectors rotate the unit until it separates
from the stationary unit.

Note: Continued on step 6.

A firebreak is recommended for use with any cannula.
• CAIRE offers a firebreak intended to be used inconjunction with the oxygen portable. The firebreak is
a thermal fuse to stop the flow of gas in the event thatthe downstream cannula or oxygen tubing is ignited
and burns to the firebreak. It is placed in-line with thenasal cannula or oxygen tubing between the patient
and the oxygen outlet of the Sprint / Stroller / Hi Flow
Stroller. For proper use of the firebreak, always referto the manufacturer’s instructions (included with eachfirebreak kit).
• Additional recommended accessories information isavailable online at www.caireinc.com.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance (d) in meters (m) canbe estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of thetransmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 at 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection fromstructures, objects and people.

* This table is included as a standard requirement for equipment which has been tested to specific testlevels and over specific frequency ranges and been found compliant with regulations.

Note: If necessary to achieve the IMMUNITY TEST LEVEL, the distance between the transmitting antenna and theSprint/Stroller/Hi Flow Stroller may be reduced to 1m. The 1m test distance is permitted by IEC 61000-4-3.
For some services, only the uplink frequencies are included.
The carrier shall be modulated using a 50% duty cycle square wave signal.
As an alternative to FM modulation, 50% pulse modulation at 18 Hz may be used because while it does not represent actual modulation, it
would be worst case.
