GENERAL INFORMATION
• The DeVilbiss oxygen concentrators manufactured since July 1, 2012
are equipped with a re mitigating outlet tting that prevents propagation
of re into the unit. DeVilbiss oxygen concentrators manufactured prior
to July 1, 2012 must be retrotted by your provider with the re
mitigating outlet tting.
• In order to prevent a re propagating from the patient through the
cannula towards the unit, a means of protection should be located as
close to the patient as practicable. Please contact your provider for this
means of protection.
• Before attempting any cleaning procedures, turn the unit “Off.”
• Use of harsh chemicals (including alcohol) is not recommended. If
bactericidal cleaning is required, a non-alcohol based product should be
used to avoid inadvertent damage.
• Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC
and needs to be installed and put into service according to the
Electromagnetic Compatibility [EMC] information provided in the
accompanying documents.
• Portable and Mobile RF Communications Equipment can affect Medical
Electrical Equipment.
• The equipment or system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with
other equipment and that if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the
equipment or system should be observed to verify normal operation in
the conguration in which it will be used.
CAUTION:
A Caution indicates the possibility of damage to the device.
• Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician.
• It is very important to follow your oxygen prescription. Do not increase or
decrease the ow of oxygen – consult your physician.
• To prevent product damage, do not attempt to operate the unit without
the air lter or while the lter is still damp.
• Do not place a humidier with an oxygen patient unless prescribed by a
physician and then only a bubble-type humidier should be used.
• Do not connect the oxygen concentrator to an electrical outlet controlled
by a wall switch; the outlet should be independent of other appliances.
• Do not use an electrical adapter or extension cord with the oxygen
concentrator.
• Only operate the oxygen concentrator with all lters in place; do not
operate if the air lter is wet.
