2.9 Usage of Oxygen
• The presence of oxygen can speed up combustion of inflammable materi-
als.
• If oxygen has been prescribed, connect the oxygen supply tube to the
appropriate oxygen port of the nasal mask or breathing system connector.
• At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen con-
centration will vary, depending on the pressure delivered, patient’s breath-
ing pattern, mask selection, and leak rate.
• When oxygen is used with the iSleep 20, the oxygen flow must be turned
off when the iSleep 20 is not operating. If the iSleep 20 is not in operation,
and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the patient tubing may
accumulate within the iSleep 20 enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the
iSleep 20 enclosure will create a risk of fire.
• Ventilate the room adequately.
• Do not smoke in a room where oxygen is being used.
• Naked light bulbs and other sources of ignition must be kept a minimum of
6 feet (2 meters) away from the oxygen cylinder or any part of the patient
circuit.
• Do not use aerosols or solvents close to the oxygen supply, even when the
oxygen supply is shut off.
