For oxygen concentrators equipped with batteries: Store in a cool and dry location to help ensure the
longevity of your battery. Storing your Oxygen Concentrator for extended periods of time at high
temperatures or with a fully charged or completely discharged battery can degrade its overall battery life. Do
not attempt to open the battery; there are no serviceable parts inside the battery. Keep batteries away from
children.
ONLY USE the Manufacturer's provided batteries. For proper battery disposal, contact your Equipment
Provider or your local government agency for disposal requirements.

The US Department of Transportation (DOT) and United Nations (UN) Regulations require the removal of
the battery from the device for all international airline travel when the oxygen concentrator is checked as
luggage. When shipping the oxygen concentrator, the battery must also be removed from the device and
packaged properly.

recommended by the cannula manufacturer or your Equipment Provider. Additional supplies are available
