WARNING (continued)
• Before each use, verify all connections are tight.
• To ensure receiving the therapeutic amount of oxygen delivery according to your
medical condition, the TOC must be used with the specific combination of parts
and accessories that were in place when your settings were determined.
• Where the prescribing Healthcare Professional has determined that an
interruption in the supply of oxygen, for any reason, may have serious
consequences to the user, an alternative source of oxygen should be available
for immediate use.
• DO NOT place any liquids on or near the TOC. If any liquid gets on the TOC,
immediately turn OFF the power switch, unplug from the electrical outlet,
remove Battery and connect to another oxygen source. Contact your Provider
and/or Healthcare Professional immediately.
• DO NOT attempt to lift the TOC using the battery handle.
• TOC is not appropriate for any patient who would experience adverse health
consequences as a result of a temporary interruption in oxygen therapy.
• The availability of an alternate source of supplemental oxygen is strongly
recommended in the case of power interruption or in the event the TOC stops
functioning for any reason.
• To prevent damage, care should be taken when transporting TOC in a
wet environment.
• The Pulse settings of the TOC might not correspond with continuous flow
oxygen.
• The settings of other models or brands of oxygen therapy equipment may not
correspond with the settings of the TOC.
• Using the TOC around wind or strong draughts can adversely affect accurate
delivery of oxygen therapy.
CAUTION
• The US Department of Transportation (DOT) and United Nations (UN)
regulations require the removal of the battery from the TOC for all international
airline travel when the TOC is checked as luggage. When shipping the TOC, the
battery must also be removed.
• When setting dosage/mode of operation in a dark environment, visually verify
dose setting is correct.
• Ensure transportable Cart handle is locked into place before transporting
the TOC.

Pulse mode. If patient is unable to trigger the TOC while in the Pulse mode,
switch to the nearest equivalent Continuous mode setting and contact your
Provider and/or Healthcare Professional.

Professional to evaluate whether the TOC is appropriate for their treatment.
