Keep cannula tubing away from children and pets to avoid dan2ger of choking or strangulation.
DO NOT remove any small parts or fasteners from device. Small parts can cause injury if inhaled or
swallowed.
DO NOT use the device with a damaged power cord or plug to avoid injury.
DO NOT operate the device on wet surfaces or in standing water and do not submerge or expose

healthcare provider for inspection and possible repair of the device.
DO NOT come in contact with the device when wet to avoid serious injury or the chance of shock.
DO NOT use oil, grease or petroleum-based products on or near the device to prevent accidental
ignition.
There is a risk of fire associated with oxygen enrichment during oxygen therapy. Do not use the
oxygen concentrator or accessories near sparks or open flames.
Open flames during oxygen therapy are dangerous and are likely to result in fire or death. DO NOT
allow open flames within ten (10) feet (1.6 m) of the oxygen concentrator or any oxygen carrying
accessories.
Oxygen makes it easier for a fire to start and spread. DO NOT leave the nasal cannula or mask on
bed coverings or chair cushions. If the oxygen concentrator is turned on, but not in use, the
oxygen will make the materials flammable. Turn the oxygen concentrator off when not in use to
prevent oxygen enrichment.
SMOKING DURING OXYGEN THERAPY IS DANGEROUS and is likely to result in facial burns or death.
DO NOT allow smoking within the same room where the oxygen concentrator or any oxygen
carrying accessories are located. If you intend to smoke, you must always turn the oxygen
concentrator off, remove the cannula and leave the room where the oxygen concentrator is
located. If you are unable to leave the room, you must wait at least 10 minutes after you have
turned the oxygen concentrator off before smoking.
To ensure you are receiving the therapeutic amount of oxygen according to your medical
condition, the Oxlife Freedom must be used only after one or more settings have been individually
determined or prescribed by a physician for you at your specific activity levels. The Oxlife Freedom
must be used with the specific combination of parts and accessories that were used while your
settings were determined.
Use only water-based lotions or salves that are oxygen-compatible before and during oxygen
therapy. DO NOT use petroleum or oil-based lotions or salves to avoid the risk of fire and burns.
DO NOT lubricate fittings, connections, tubing or other accessories to avoid the risk of fire and
burns.
