oxygen concentrator would be most convenient. Your
concentrator can be easily rolled from room to room on
its casters.

under the conditions outlined in

Usage in environments other than those described may
result in the need for increased equipment maintenance.
The air intake of the unit should be located in a well
ventilated area to avoid airborne pollutants and/or fumes.

WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
To avoid burns from steam or hot water,
inhalation of water and/or water damage to the
concentrator:
– DO NOT fill humidifier bottle with hot water.
Allow boiled water to cool to room temperature
before filling.
– DO NOT overfill humidifier.
– Replace the humidifier cap and securely tighten.
Confirm that the cap is not cross-threaded on
the humidifier bottle.
– DO NOT reverse the oxygen input and output
connections. Water from the humidifier bottle
will travel through the cannula back to the
patient if input and output connections are
reversed.
– When using tubing connections longer than
2.1 m (7 ft) in length, position the humidifier
as close to the patient as possible to allow for
maximum humidification output.
