Fire Prevention System
Read warnings and cautions on flammable cleaning solvents, grease, oil and “NO” smoking at the
beginning of this manual.
There are three legs of the thermal event triangle: Fuel, Oxidizer and Ignition source. Two of the
three are present: Cotton fiber, skin lotion, facial hair and some plastics are hydrocarbon by
nature. Oxygen of 90% level runs through the plastic tubing to cannula. Therefore, DO NOT
allow sparking, flame from a lighter or match or other elevated temperatures beyond operational
range to reduce risk of thermal event.
To further improve safety, install OxySafe Kit Part No. 20628667 and 20628668.

level inside Concentrator at or below 25% and in combination with highest safety test
temperature poses no threat to any thermal event.
Further protection is double insulation of internal wiring and sufficient electrical safety testing to
ensure equipment shutdown in overheat
