IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES & PRECAUTIONS
Read this instruction manual carefully to ensure your complete understanding before operating your
EVOLUTION
TM
electronic conserver. This manual is part of the unit and must be available at all times.
Use the unit for the designated purpose only (see “Purpose” on page 7).
For your own safety and that of your patients, please observe the following points:
OPERATING THE UNIT
WARNING!
Failure to observe the following warnings may result in damage to the unit or injury to life or
limb:
• Smoking near oxygen equipment is strictly prohibited. While using your EVOLUTION
TM
conserver, your
clothes may come into contact with oxygen-enriched air, making your clothes more flammable. This
also applies for a time after use, until the increased oxygen concentration has escaped from your
clothing. For this reason, you must keep cigarettes, matches, burning tobacco and open flames,
such as lighted candles or fireplaces, away from the area where the system is being stored or
operated.
• Avoid the creation of any spark, such as static electricity caused by any type of friction, near the
oxygen equipment.
☛
NOTE: Oxygen will not burn; however, it does vigorously accelerate the burning of any flammable material.
• Cannula tubing is a disposable accessory that should be replaced periodically following normal
usage. Continue reuse of cannula tubing may cause contamination which may lead to respiratory
distress. Disposable tubing should be disposed of in accordance with local ordinances and/or
regulations for disposal. Replacements are available through your homecare provider. (OC-401S,
case of fifty (50) 4 ft [1.52m] cannulas or equivalent).
