2.9 Usage of Oxygen
• The presence of oxygen can speed up combustion of inflammable materi-
als.
• If oxygen has been prescribed, connect the oxygen supply tube to the
appropriate oxygen port of the nasal mask or breathing system connector.
• At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen con-
centration will vary, depending on the pressure delivered, patient’s breath-
ing pattern, mask selection, and leak rate.
• When oxygen is used with the iSleep 20+, the oxygen flow must be turned
off when the iSleep 20+ is not operating. If the iSleep 20+ is not in opera-
tion, and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the patient tubing
may accumulate within the iSleep 20+ enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in
the iSleep 20+ enclosure will create a risk of fire.
• Ventilate the room adequately.
• Do not smoke in a room where oxygen is being used.
• Naked light bulbs and other sources of ignition must be kept a minimum of
2 metres 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.
