INTENDED to be life supporting or life sustaining.

Warnings

• The device produces concentrated oxygen gas which accelerates
combustion. DO NOT USE THE DEVICE WHEN SMOKING OR NEAR OPEN
FLAME, MATCHES, PETROLEUM, OIL, GREASE, SOLVENTS, RADIANT HEATERS,
AEROSOLS etc. Use only water based lotions or salves that are concentrated
oxygen compatible during oxygen therapy.
• Concentrated oxygen makes it easier for a fire to start and spread. Do not
leave the nasal cannula on upholstery or other fabric such as bedding or
personal clothing if the oxygen concentrator is turned on but not in use.
Concentrated oxygen will make the materials flammable. Turn off the
oxygen concentrator when not in use.
• Do not use the oxygen concentrator in the presence of pollutants, smoke or
fumes, flammable anesthetics, cleaning agents or other chemical vapors.
This may internally contaminate the oxygen concentrator and degrade its
performance.
• Do not use the oxygen concentrator if either the plug or the power cord is
damaged to prevent accidental electrical shock.
• Do not submerge the oxygen concentrator in liquids, expose to liquids, or
otherwise allow liquids to enter into the case, this may lead to electrical
shock and/or damage. If the oxygen concentrator is exposed to liquids turn
it off and unplug from electrical outlet before attempting to clean and dry
the liquid spill.
• When using a compatible humidifier do not refill humidifier while
attached to the oxygen concentrator. Remove the humidifier from the
oxygen concentrator prior to refilling to prevent accidental spills on the
concentrator and prevent electrical shock hazard.
• Do not use cleaning agents other than those specified in this manual.
Always unplug the oxygen concentrator before performing any cleaning.
