Cautions

• USA Federal law restricts this device to sale or rental by or on the order of
a physician, or any other practitioner licensed by the State in which he/
she practices to use or order the use of this device; may also be applicable
in other countries. Under certain circumstances, the use of non-prescribed
oxygen therapy can be hazardous.
• Availability of an alternate source of oxygen is recommended in case of
power outage or mechanical failure. Consult your equipment provider for
type of back-up system recommended.
• Additional monitoring or attention may be required for patients using this
device who are unable to hear or see alarms or communicate discomfort. If
the patient shows any signs of discomfort, a physician should be consulted
immediately.
• Accessories not specified for use with the oxygen concentrator may
impair performance. Always use accessories according to manufacturer's
instructions.
• Nasal cannula should be rated 5 liters per minute to ensure proper patient
usage and oxygen delivery.
• Replace the nasal cannula on a regular basis. Check with your equipment
provider or health care professional to determine how often the cannula
should be replaced.
• It is recommended the oxygen concentrator accessory tubing and cannula
include a means to reduce the propagation of fire.
• Do not operate the concentrator without the intake filter and particle filter
in place. Particles drawn into the oxygen concentrator may damage the
equipment.
• Refer to the environmental range specifications for proper storage and use
conditions. Temperatures in excess of the indicated range may cause device
malfunction.
• Do not obstruct air intake or exhaust when operating the oxygen
concentrator. Blockage of air circulation or proximity to a heat source may
lead to internal heat buildup and shutdown or damage. Always maintain a
minimum of six inches of clearance.
• Do not place anything in the power supply port other than the supplied
wall cord. Avoid the use of electrical extension cords with the concentrator.
If an extension cord must be used, use an extension cord that has an
Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Mark and a minimum wire thickness of 18
gauge. Do not connect any other device to the same extension cord.
• Do not sit or stand on the concentrator, doing so can be hazardous.
