. The device has several built in alarm functions for safe use. The alarms are shown on the display and are also audible.

The ECOlite 4000 has alarms for:

- Low battery

- No oxygen

- No breathing

The battery life time of the device is prolonged to last for 200 hours. Standard AA 1,5 volt batteries are in use.

Might be because I tend to breathe through my mouth? Will see how I go many thanks Val

Oh dear, that would indicate that you may require a full face mask instead of nasal canula, as your o2 requirements are not being met, as indicated by the bleeping.

Any nasal delivery of o2 whether constant or conserver is not suitable if you tend to breath through your mouth I would think, but

If you ring the helpline they may advise you on this as I may be incorrect as I am not an expert.

Good luck Valm with getting back to work

I wouldn't care the bloody thing didn't bleep once last week when I did the walk test with the nurse. :( But many thanks Val

Hello valm, just reading this i was adviced to use a full mask because i was gasping using the nose tubes much better now can breath easy

Hope you are not using a nasal canula on the concentrator at work valm if you are a mouth breathier as you will not be getting the full o2 requirement to oxygenate your vital organs, putting yourself at risk, showing as low sats levels, tiredness, infections etc
