WARNING: USE OF DEVICE OUTSIDE OF
SPECIFIED OPERATING CONDITIONS
IS EXPECTED TO ADVERSELY AFFECT
THE FLOWRATE AND PERCENTAGE OF
OXYGEN AND CONSEQUENTLY THE
QUALITY OF THE THERAPY.
Note: If the Oxygen Concentrator has been stored
for an extended period of time outside its normal
operating temperature range, the unit should be
allowed to return to normal operating temperature
before being turned on. (Refer to the Specifications
section in this manual.)
Proper Placement of the Companion 5
Select a location for the device that avoids the
intake of smoke, fumes and pollutants. Correct
placement of the device should allow intake of
air through the three air intake locations at the top
rear and underneath the cabinet, and also allow for
exhaust air to freely leave the exhaust vent at the
bottom left of the device.
Air intakes are located on the upper back and
bottom of the concentrator. Locate the unit so that
there is at least 12 inches (30 cm) of space between
the concentrator and any walls, furniture, curtains,
or other obstructions.
Place the device such that the alarms can be heard.
Position the oxygen supply tubing in such a way
that it does not kink or occlude.
WARNING: DO NOT USE YOUR
OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR IN THE
PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE GASES.
THIS CAN RESULT IN RAPID BURNING
CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY
INJURIES OR DEATH. USE NO OIL,
GREASE, OR PETROLEUM-BASED
OR OTHER FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS
WITH THE OXYGEN-CARRYING
ACCESSORIES OR THE OXYGEN
CONCENTRATOR. ONLY WATER BASED,
OXYGEN COMPATIBLE LOTIONS OR
SALVES SHOULD BE USED. OXYGEN
ACCELERATES THE COMBUSTION OF
FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES.
WARNING: THIS DEVICE SUPPLIES HIGH-
CONCENTRATION OXYGEN THAT PROMOTES
RAPID BURNING. DO NOT ALLOW SMOKING
OR OPEN FLAMES WITHIN THE SAME ROOM
OF (1) THIS DEVICE, OR (2) ANY OXYGEN-
CARRYING ACCESSORY. FAILURE TO OBSERVE
THIS WARNING CAN RESULT IN SEVERE FIRE,
PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND/OR CAUSE PHYSICAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
