2. SAFETY NOTES
WARNING: Users who require continuous oxygenation must plan for
alternate sources of power and oxygen in the event of a failure or loss of
power. This device is to be used as an oxygen supplement and is NOT
considered life-supporting or life-sustaining!
WARNING: There is a risk of fire associated with oxygen enrichment during
oxygen therapy. Do not use the oxygen concentrator or accessories near
sparks or open flames.
WARNING: To ensure you are receiving the therapeutic amount of
oxygen delivery according to your medical condition this device must
- Be used only after one or more settings have been individually
determined or prescribed for you at your specific activity levels.
- Be used with the specific combination of parts and accessories that are
in line with the specification of the concentrator manufacturer and that
were used while your settings were determined.
WARNING: Use only water-based lotions or salves that are oxygen-
compatible before and during oxygen therapy. Never use petroleum or oil-
based lotions or salves to avoid the risk of fire and burns.

WARNING: Do not lubricate fittings, connections, tubing, or other

accessories of the oxygen concentrator to avoid the risk of fire and burns.
WARNING: Use only replacement parts recommended by the manufacturer to
ensure proper function and to avoid the risk of fire and burns.
WARNING: Use of this device outside of the ranges for altitude,
temperature or relative humidity listed in the Specifications Section of
this manual are expected to adversely affect the flowrate, the percentage
of oxygen and consequently the quality of the therapy.
WARNING: Do not leave the nasal cannula or mask on bed coverings or
chair cushions, if the oxygen concentrator is turned on, but not in use; the
oxygen will make the materials flammable. Turn the oxygen concentrator
off when not in use to prevent oxygen enrichment.
WARNING: If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical
emergency while undergoing oxygen therapy, seek medical assistance
immediately to avoid harm.
WARNING: Smoking during oxygen therapy is dangerous and is likely to
result in facial burns or death. Do not allow smoking within the same room
where the oxygen concentrator or any oxygen carrying accessories are
located.

2. SAFETY NOTES
WARNING: Open flames during oxygen therapy are dangerous and likely
to result in fire or death. Do not allow open flames within 6.5 feet of the
oxygen concentrator or any oxygen carrying accessories.

1. Safety Notes
1.1 Important Information

Risk of electric shock.

DO NOT disassemble. Refer service to a qualified service personnel.

DO NOT modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.

Read the following information before operating this product.

1.2 Before Installation

The concentrator should always be kept in the upright position to prevent
damage during transport.

If the electrical power source becomes unstable, discontinue use and find an
alternate source.

Only use stable and safe electrical power sources.

The oxygen concentrator cabinet should ONLY be opened by an authorized

equipment provider.

2. SAFETY NOTES

1.3 Placement
Select a room in your home where using your oxygen concentrator would be
most convenient. Your concentrator can easily roll from room to room on its
casters.

Do not place the oxygen concentrator in an area where its airflow may be
obstructed.

Be sure to place the oxygen concentrator so that all sides are at least 10 cm
(4”) away from walls, draperies, furniture, or similar surfaces. Avoid placing on
deep pile carpets. Avoid placing near heaters, radiators, and hot air registers.
Do not place the unit in a confined area.
The oxygen concentrator MUST be kept away from heat, fire, and water
sources.
The oxygen concentrator should be placed in an area that is clear of pollutants
and fumes.
Do not place items on top of the concentrator.
NEVER block the air intake or air exhaust of the device, and keep them free
from lint, hair, and dust.
Do not place the unit on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the
concentrator may tip or fall.

1.4 Fire Warning and Explosion

Keep the concentrator away from flammable and explosive areas.
Users MUST NOT SMOKE while using this device. Keep all matches, lighted
cigarettes or other sources of ignition out of the room in which this product is being
used. NO SMOKING signs should be prominently displayed. Textiles and other
materials, even those that may not normally burn easily, will quickly ignite and burn
with high intensity when exposed to oxygen-enriched air. Failure to observe this
warning can result in severe fire, property damage, physical injury, or DEATH.

Use of oxygen therapy requires that special care be taken to reduce the risk of
fire. Many materials, even those that may not be flammable under normal
conditions, are easily ignited and will burn rapidly when exposed to high

3
2. SAFETY NOTES
concentrations of oxygen. For safety concerns, it is necessary that all sources of
ignition be kept away from the product and out of the room in which it is being
used.

A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease or greasy

substances come into contact with oxygen that is under pressure. These
substances MUST be kept away from the oxygen concentrator, its tubing and
connections, and all other oxygen equipment.

DO NOT use any lubricants unless recommended by manufacturer.

1.5 Maintenance

The Oxygen Concentrator should be serviced at least once a year by a trained

service professional approved by the manufacturer.

DO NOT service this device while it is in use.

⚫
For optimum performance, the manufacturer recommends that the concentrator
be run for a minimum of 30 minutes at a time. Shorter periods of operation may
reduce maximum product life.

1.6 Radio Frequency Interference

Most electronic equipment is influenced by Radio Frequency Interference

(RFI). Always exercise CAUTION when using portable communications devices
around such equipment.

This device uses Radio Frequency energy solely for its operation, so the radio
frequency output is very low and will not affect the running of other electronic
equipment in the area.
1.7 Reduce the Risk of Burns, Electrocution, Fire or Injury to
Persons
Avoid using while bathing. If continuous usage is required according to the
physician's prescription, then the concentrator must be located in another room at
least 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) from the bathing area.

DO NOT come into contact with the concentrator while wet.

DO NOT place or store the device where it can drop into water or other liquids.

4
2. SAFETY NOTES
DO NOT reach for the device if it has fallen into water or other liquids.
UNPLUG IMMEDIATELY and call a qualified service personnel for
examination and repair.
The device should NEVER be left unattended when plugged in.

This device is to be used only in accordance with a physician's prescription

and this User’s Manual. If at any time the patient or attendant concludes that the
patient is receiving an insufficient amount of oxygen, contact the provider and/or
physician immediately. No adjustments should be made to the flow rate unless
prescribed by a physician.
Close supervision is necessary when this product is used near children
or physically challenged individuals.
Use this product only for its intended use and as described in this manual.
DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by
manufacturer. Use of certain humidifiers and accessories not specified for use
with this oxygen concentrator may impair its performance.
If replacement parts are used in this device that do not comply with the
manufacturer’s specifications, then the manufacturer is not responsible in
the event of an accident.
DO NOT connect the concentrator, neither in parallel nor in series, with
other oxygen concentrators or oxygen therapy devices.

In certain circumstances oxygen therapy can be hazardous. Seek

medical advice before using this product.

Avoid creation of sparks near medical oxygen equipment. This includes

sparks from static electricity created by any type of friction.

Consult a qualified service professional for examination and repair if the

concentrator has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it
has been dropped or damaged.
Keep the cord away from HEATED and HOT surfaces.
Do not move or relocate the concentrator by pulling on its cord.
NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.
