Therefore:
- Oxygen may only be handled by trained or specially instructed persons!
- Follow all mandatory instructions for installing and use of fire-reducing equipment such as the
angular connector and FiresafeTM check valve.
- The misuse of oxygen, e.g. to cool down or improve the ambient air, to cool down and dust or
blow off of persons, clothes, furniture etc. is dangerous and therefore prohibited!
- Smoking and handling ignition sources and open flames is prohibited when working with
oxygen!
- Keep a minimum distance of 2 metres from all spark generating equipment and open fire!
- After having stayed in a possible oxygen saturated atmosphere you should thoroughly aerate
your cloths, because oxygen adheres to the clothes very well! An ignition source, e.g. a burning
cigarette, could easily cause burning of your clothes.
- Materials that do not burn in air may burn very vigorously and even spontaneously in oxygen or
oxygen enriched air. This already applies for an enrichment of only a few percent!
- Oil and grease (even creams and gels) can react in an explosion like manner when coming in
contact with oxygen. It is therefore mandatory to keep the unit free of oil and grease!
- Oxygen considerably increases the temperature of a flame and the speed of combustion!
WARNING! Danger of electric current!
Electric energies can cause severe injury. Damaged insulation or components cause a
danger to life.
Therefore:
- Work on the equipment must only be performed by trained professionals.
- Pull the main plug out before starting work on the unit!
- Check main leads for damage before every use.
ATTENTION! Observe high frequency safety!
!
Medical equipment can be influenced by (mobile) HF communication equipment
(e.g. mobile phones).
Do not use mobile radio equipment in the vicinity of the Oxyderme THBO concentra-
tor by Kröber as close as 3.5 m.
ATTENTION! Observe electromagnetic compatibility!
!
Electrical medical equipment is subject to stringent protective measures concerning
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and must be installed and operated in accor-
dance with the EMC information contained in the accompanying documents. The
following should be noted in particular:
- Floors should be made of wood or concrete or should be covered with ceramic tiles. If the floor
is covered with a synthetic material, the relative humidity must be at least 30%.
- During operation the unit must therefore not be exposed to extremely strong magnetic fields.
- Magnetic fields at main frequency must comply with the typical values found in business or
hospital environments.
ATTENTION! Keep the minimum distance!
!
The air intake of the Oxyderme THBO concentrator by Kröber is located on the back
side of the unit, the following is therefore of importance:
- There should be a minimum distance of 30cm from walls, curtains and other large objects (e.g.
cupboards), so that an unrestricted entry of air is assured at the back of the unit.
- The Oxyderme THBO oxygen concentrator by Kröber must not be used directly beside or even
stacked with other equipment.
! ATTENTION! Avoid overheating!
The unit is air cooled, in order to avoid overheating it must not be placed near
heaters, etc.
