Safe Handling Of Oxygen - Weinmann OXYWAY Fix I Mode D'emploi

2.5 Safe handling of oxygen

Warning Risk of injury if oxygen is used in combination with
combustible substances!
The combination of oxygen and combustible substances may lead
to spontaneous, serious fires. Where ventilation is inadequate,
oxygen may build up in the environment (e.g., clothing, hair, bed
linen) and cause fires and thereby injuries to the patient, user and
bystanders.
 Do not smoke.
 Do not use open flames.
 Ensure adequate ventilation.
 Keep the device and all the screwed unions completely free
from oil and grease.
 Do not immerse the device in a disinfectant or any other
cleaning solution.
 Wash your hands before working on the oxygen supply.
 Do not point the oxygen cylinder connection towards yourself
or anyone else.
Risk of injury from highly compressed oxygen!
When combined with highly compressed oxygen, hydrocarbon
compounds can cause explosions.
 Wash you hands before handling the pressure reducer and the
oxygen cylinder.
 Do not use any oil, grease, cleaning alcohols, hand cream or
adhesive plasters.
Risk of injury if oxygen escapes from damaged oxygen
cylinders or pressure reducers!
Oxygen can escape unchecked from damaged oxygen cylinders or
pressure reducers. This may lead to explosions and cause injury to
the patient, user and bystanders.
 Tighten or loosen all screwed unions on the oxygen cylinder
and on the pressure reducer by hand only.
 Secure the oxygen cylinder so that it cannot fall over.
