Under certain conditions, an oxygen therapy may be dangerous. Before using
the aeroplus E, consult a physician.
To ensure receiving the therapeutic amount of oxygen delivery according to your
medical condition the aeroplus E must
– be used only after one or more settings have been individually determined
or prescribed for you at your specific activity levels.
– be used with the specific combination of parts and accessories that are in
line with the specification of the concentrator manufacturer and that were
used while your settings were determined.
WARNING! Fire hazard caused by oxygen!
Oxygen is vital, but in concentrators with only a few percentage points above the
normal oxygen content in the air it is a highly dangerous fire accelerant. There
are only a few materials which will not burn off like an explosion under a raised
concentration of oxygen.
Therefore:
– Oxygen may only be handled by trained or specially instructed persons!
– The misuse of oxygen, e.g. to cool down or improve the ambient air, to cool
down and dust or blow off of persons, clothes, furniture etc. is dangerous
and therefore prohibited!
– Follow all mandatory instructions for installing and use of fire-reducing
equipment such as the metal connector a1nd Firesafe
TM
check valve.
– Smoking during oxygen therapy is dangerous and is likely to result in facial
burns or death. Do not allow smoking within the same room where the
oxygen concentrator or any oxygen carrying accessories are located.
If you intend to smoke, you must always turn the oxygen concentrator off,
remove the cannula and leave the room where either the cannula or mask
or the oxygen concentrator is located. If unable to leave the room, you must
wait 10 minutes after you have turned the oxygen concentrator off before
smoking.
– There is a risk of fire associated with oxygen enrichment during oxygen
therapy. Do not use the oxygen concentrator or accessories near sparks or
open flames.
– Open flames during oxygen therapy are dangerous and is likely to result in
fire or death. Do not allow open flames within 2 m of the oxygen
concentrator or any oxygen carrying accessories.
– After having stayed in a possible oxygen saturated atmosphere you should
thoroughly aerate your cloths, because oxygen adheres to the clothes very
well! An ignition source, e.g. a burning cigarette, could easily cause
burning of your clothes.
– Materials that do not burn in air may burn very vigorously and even
spontaneously in oxygen or oxygen enriched air. This already applies for
an enrichment of only a few percent!
– 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 fire and burns”
