The WARNINGS below indicate a potential
hazardous situation. If conditions are not
avoided a situation could occur that results
in serious injury or death.
•
Oxygen is not a fl ammable gas, but it
accelerates the combustion of materials. Do
not use in explosive atmosphere.To avoid risk
of fi re and explosion the concentrator should
be kept away from Flames, Heat sources,
Incandescent sources, Smoking Materials,
Matches, Oil, Grease, Solvents, Aerosols,
etc. Do not allow oxygen to accumulate on
upholstery or other fabric such as bedding or
personal clothing. If concentrator is operating
while not connected to patient, position
cannula so that the gas fl ow is diluted in the
ambient air.
•
Improper patient connection to and use of
the cannula may result in injury including
strangulation.

User's Guide are not recommended. Patient
benefi t may be diminished.
•

eration a backup source is recommended.
