Alarm Conditions - CAIRE Companion 5 Manuel D'utilisation

Step 7: Turn Off
a. Press the power switch in the "OFF" (O) position when the
CAIRE Companion 5 is no longer in use.
CAUTION: Use only accessories recommended by the
manufacturer. Use of any other may be hazardous, cause
serious damage to your oxygen concentrator and will void
the warranty.
CAUTION: Do not use extension cords with this unit or connect too
many plugs into the same electrical outlet. The use of extension
cords could adversely affect the performance of the device. Too
many plugs into one outlet can result in an overload to the electrical
panel causing the breaker/fuse to activate or fire if the breaker or
fuse fails to operate.
CAUTION: Use of cables and adapters other than those specified,
with the exception of cables and adapters sold by the manufacturer
of the medical electrical equipment as replacement parts for
internal components, may result in increased emissions of decreased
immunity of the Oxygen Concentrator.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW EITHER THE AIR INTAKE OR THE
AIR OUTLET VENTS TO BECOME BLOCKED. THIS CAN CAUSE
THE OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR TO OVERHEAT AND IMPAIR
PERFORMANCE.
Note: To Equipment Provider: The following oxygen administration
accessories are recommended for use with the Oxygen Concentrator:
• Nasal Cannula with 7 feet (2.1 m) of tubing: PN 5408-SEQ
• For a list of recommended accessories, please see the Accessories
Catalog (PN ML-LOX0010) available on www.CAIREmedical.com.
• CAIRE offers the OxySafe™ as an optional accessory. This is intended to
be used in conjunction with the Companion 5 concentrator. For customers
in regions requiring compliance to EN ISO 8359:1996-Ammendment
1:2012, this accessory will meet this need.
The OxySafe™ is a thermal fuse to stop the flow of gas in the event
that the downstream cannula or oxygen tubing is ignited and burns to
the OxySafe. It is placed in-line with the nasal cannula or oxygen tubing
between the patient and the oxygen outlet of the Companion 5.
For proper use of the OxySafe, always refer to the manufacturer's
instructions (included with each OxySafe kit).
CAIRE offers an OxySafe™ kit that includes a cannula headpiece,
