Important Safety Rules
Carefully review and familiarize yourself with the following important safety information about the
portable FreeStyle Oxygen Concentrator.
"No Smoking – Oxygen in Use" signs must be prominently displayed in the
home, or where oxygen is in use. Patients and their caregivers must be
informed about the dangers of smoking in the presence of, or while using,
medical oxygen.
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.
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.
Do not leave a nasal cannula on clothing, bed coverings or chair cushions. If the unit is turned on but not in
use, the oxygen will make the material flammable. Set the I/0 power switch to the 0 (Off) position when the
Oxygen Concentrator is not in use.
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.
This unit is not to be used for life support. Geriatric, pediatric, or any other patient unable to communicate
discomfort while using this device may require additional monitoring. Patients with hearing and/or sight
impairment(s) may need assistance with monitoring alarms.
WARNING
Pulse Dose Node settings must be determined for each patient individually for their needs at rest, during
exercise, and when traveling.
If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical emergency, seek medical assistance immediately.
Electrical shock hazard. Turn OFF the unit and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before
you clean the unit to prevent accidental electrical shock and burn hazard. Only your Equipment Provider
or a qualified service technician should remove the covers or service the unit.
WARNING
Care should be taken to prevent the Oxygen Concentrator and the battery from getting wet or allowing fluids
to enter the unit. This can cause a malfunction or shut down, and cause an increased risk for electrical shock
or burns
