CAUTION: Caution indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in property
damage or minor injury or both.
•
Prevent water or any other liquid substances from entering the
unit.
•
Prevent dust, lint or any small particles from entering the unit, as
these may degrade performance or cause oxygen leaks.
•
Do not expose the unit to extreme temperatures or heat sources
such as fireplaces and radiant heaters.
•
Do not use humidifier bottles. Do not use if leaking or damaged.
Refer repairs to authorized service personnel. Do not use the flow
outlet for driving any medical equipment.
•
This product contains natural rubber latex (oxygen pressure gauge
rubber guard) which may cause allergic reactions.
•
Oxygen supplied by this equipment is supplemental only and is
not intended for life support applications. The OM-900 electronic
oxygen conserver should not be used to supply anything other
than medical oxygen.
•
Remember that in continuous flow mode, the oxygen will be
consumed at a much faster rate. Switch to another oxygen source
before depleting the oxygen cylinder. The continuous flow func-
tion on the OM-900 electronic oxygen conserver is factory preset
at 2 LPM.
•
Checking for leaks should be performed before each use.
•
To help prevent possible damage to the unit and to maintain
its cleanliness, keep the SMARTDOSE® EVOLUTION™ OM-975
electronic oxygen conserver in a carrying bag. Several bags are
available for use with different cylinder sizes and configurations:
contact your Home Care provider for more information on carry
bags.
•
Combinations with medical devices other than recommended can
alter the performance of the equipment (example: combinations
with reservoir cannula, extended length tubing).
