Chapter 2: Safety Information 27
Using oxygen
•
Observe the user’s manual of the manufacturer or distributor from whom you
obtain your oxygen.
• The patient must be advised on how to use oxygen.
•
For oxygen use, the patient must be instructed on site in their home environment.
•
Oxygen may only be administered using a O
2
safety valve. This prevents oxygen
from flowing back into the device.
•
The source of oxygen must be at least 1 m away from the device.
•
Oxygen supports combustion. Therefore, observe the fire protection regulations
applicable for using oxygen. Please ensure that the oxygen fittings, as well as all ports
and surfaces near the oxygen lines are free of grease, oil and lubricating grease. Do
not smoke and do not work with open flames. When using oxygen, an increased
oxygen concentration in the ambient air can occur.
•
The oxygen supply should be stopped before discontinuing therapy. We also rec-
ommend to allow the device to run for several respiratory cycles without an oxygen
supply after discontinuing therapy.
•
In the event of an oxygen leak, the oxygen supply should be shut off immediately.
The room must be ventilated immediately. Any sparks, fire or potential fire sources
in the vicinity must be avoided.
Integration into IT networks
• Integrating the device into an IT network including other devices can pose unknown
risks. The user is therefore responsible for assessing and evaluating the risks as well
as for risk minimisation.
•
Changes to the IT network can result in new, unknown risks. This includes changes
to the network configuration, integrating and removing elements as well as updating
or upgrading devices on the IT network.
•
In the event of a cybersecurity-related accident, contact HOFFRICHTER Service if a
HOFFRICHTER device is involved.
