The Usage of Oxygen if Prescribed
To ensure the safe use of oxygen, always adhere to these
guidelines.
Only use oxygen as directed and prescribed by
your referring clinician.
• Always follow the oxygen provider’s instructions.
• The presence of oxygen can speed up combustion of inflammable
materials.
• At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen
concentration will vary, depending on the pressure delivered, the
mode and settings, the patient’s breathing pattern and leak rate.
• When oxygen is used with the Clearway 2, the oxygen flow must
be turned off when the Clearway 2
delivered into
the patient tubing may accumulate within the
machine enclosure.
Oxygen accumulated in the machine
enclosure will increase the risk of fire.
• Ventilate the room adequately.
• Do not smoke in a room where oxygen is being used.
• Do not use the Clearway 2 positioned near or in a room with an
open fire.
• Naked light bulbs and other sources of ignition must be kept a
minimum of 6 feet (2 meters) away from the oxygen cylinder or
any part of the patient circuit.
• Do not use aerosols or solvents close to the oxygen supply, even
when the oxygen supply is shut off
