GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
• Position your unit near an electrical outlet at least 6 inches (16 cm) from walls, draperies, or any other objects that might prevent the proper ow
of air in and out of your device. The iGo2 concentrator should be located so as to avoid pollutants or fumes, and placed in a well-ventilated place
so that the air inlet and exhaust are not blocked. Do not cover unit with a blanket, towel, quilt, or other covering, as the unit may overheat.
• Do not lubricate ttings, connections, tubing, or other accessories of the oxygen concentrator to avoid the risk of re and burns. No lubricants are
recommended for use on this device.
• 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 re and burns.
• The Drive DeVilbiss iGo2 portable oxygen concentrators are equipped with a re mitigating outlet tting that prevents propagation of re into the
unit.
• See instructions for use regarding re propagation prevention.
• Improper use of the power cord and plugs can cause a burn, re, or other electric shock hazards. Do not use the unit if the power cord is
damaged.
• Locate oxygen tubing and power supply cords to prevent tripping hazards and reduce the possibility of entanglement or strangulation.
• Use only spare parts recommended by the manufacturer to ensure proper function and to avoid the risk of re and burns.
• Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a ammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• When device is used under extreme operating conditions, the temperature near the exhaust vents on the bottom of the unit may reach 57˚C
(134.6˚F). Keep bare skin away from this area.
• The following surface temperatures may exceed 41˚C (105.8˚F) under extreme conditions:
• External surface of POC ............................ 52˚C (125.6˚F) • External power supply ...........................43˚C (109.4˚F)

convey the information about the discomfort and/or the medical urgency to the responsible caregiver to avoid harm.
• Use of this device at an altitude above 3000 meters (9843 feet) or above a temperature of 35˚C (95˚F) or greater than 93% relative humidity is
expected to adversely affect the ow rate and the percentage of oxygen and consequently the quality of the therapy. Refer to specications for
details regarding parameters tested.
• The oxygen delivery setting has to be determined for each patient individually with the conguration of the equipment to be used, including
accessories. It is very important to follow the prescription determined by your physician.
• Your delivery settings of the oxygen concentrator should be periodically reassessed for the effectiveness of therapy.
• To ensure you receive the therapeutic amount of oxygen delivery according to your medical condition, the iGo2 oxygen concentrator must:
• be used only after one or more settings have been individually determined or prescribed for you at your specic activity levels.
• be used with the specic combination of parts and accessories that are in line with the specication of the concentrator manufacturer and that
were used while your settings were determined.
• The settings of this iGo2 portable oxygen concentrator do not correspond with continuous ow oxygen device settings.
• The setting of other models or brands of oxygen therapy equipment do not correspond with the settings of this iGo2 portable oxygen
concentrator.
WARNING
• The proper placement and positioning of the prongs of the nasal cannula in the nose is critical to the amount of oxygen delivered to the
respiratory system of the patient.
• Some respiratory efforts of the patient might not trigger the conserving equipment.
• Wind or strong draughts can adversely affect accurate delivery of oxygen therapy.
• This device is not intended for use with a tracheotomised patient.
