Important Safety Rules
Carefully review and familiarize yourself with the following important safety information
about the VisionAire™ 2 and VisionAire™ 3 Oxygen Concentrator.
“No Smoking – Oxygen in Use”
signs must be prominently displayed in the
home, or where oxygen is in use. Patients and their caregivers must be
informed about the dangers of smoking in the presence of, or while using,
medical oxygen.
This device supplies high-concentration oxygen that promotes rapid burning.
Do not allow smoking or open flames within the same room of (1) this
device, or (2) any oxygen-carrying accessory
. Failure to observe this
warning can result in severe fire, property damage and / or cause physical
injury or death.
Do not use your oxygen concentrator in the presence of flammable
gases
. This can result in rapid burning causing property damage, bodily
injuries or death.
Do not leave a nasal cannula on clothing, bed coverings or chair cushions. If
the unit is turned on but not in use, the oxygen will make the material
flammable. Set the I/0 power switch to the 0 (Off) position when the Oxygen
Concentrator is not in use.
Use no oil, grease, or petroleum-based or other flammable products with the
oxygen-carrying accessories or the Oxygen Concentrator. Only water based,
oxygen compatible lotions or salves should be used. Oxygen accelerates the
combustion of flammable substances.
This unit is not to be used for life-support. Geriatric, pediatric, or any other
patient unable to communicate discomfort while using this device may require
additional monitoring. Patients with hearing and/or sight impairments may
need assistance with monitoring the alarms.
If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical emergency, seek medical
assistance immediately.
