These contaminants may be flammable and cause injury.
• Keep the personal oxygen station at least 5 feet (1.6 m) from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of flame. Position your unit at least 6 inches (15 cm)
from walls, draperies, or any other object that might prevent the proper flow of air in and out of your oxygen station. The oxygen station should be located so
as to avoid pollutants or fumes.
• Oxygen causes rapid burning. Do not smoke while your personal oxygen station is operating, or when you are near a person utilizing oxygen therapy. Keep
the oxygen station at least 5 feet (1.6 m) from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of flame.
• Do not lay the cannula down while the cylinder is delivering oxygen. High concentrations of oxygen can cause rapid burning.
