– Open flames during oxygen therapy are dangerous and may result in fire
or death. Open flames within 2 m of the oxygen concentrator or
accessories containing oxygen are not permitted.
– After a stay in a potentially oxygen-enriched atmosphere, the clothing must
be ventilated very carefully, as the oxygen adheres very well to the
clothing! A source of ignition, e.g. a burning Zi-garette, could cause a
clothing fire.
– Materials that do not burn in air can burn very vividly or even
spontaneously in oxygen or oxygen-enriched air. This already applies to an
enrichment of a few percent!
– Before and during oxygen therapy, only use water-based lotions or
ointments that are compatible with oxygen. Never use lotions or ointments
based on paraffin oil or oil to avoid the risk of fire or burns!
– Do not lubricate fittings, connections, hoses or other accessories of the
Kröber O2 in order to avoid the RISIKO of fire or burns!
– Oxygen increases the temperature of a flame as well as the combustion
speed considerably!
– Never fill flammable liquids into the humidifier!
– Oxygen facilitates the outbreak and spread of fire. Do not leave the nasal
cannula or mask on bedspreads or chair cushions when the oxygen
concentrator is switched on and not in use; the oxygen makes the material
flammable. Switch off the oxygen concentrator when not in use to avoid
oxygen accumulation.
WARNING! Danger of electric current!
Electric energies can cause severe injury. Damaged insulation or components
cause a danger to life.
Therefore:
– Work on the equipment must only be performed by trained professionals.
– Pull the mains plug out before starting work on the unit!
– Check mains leads for damage before every use.
ATTENTION! Observe high frequency safety!
Medical equipment can be influenced by (mobile) HF communication equipment
(e.g. mobile phones).
Do not use mobile radio equipment in the vicinity of the Kröber O2 as close as
3.5 m.
ATTENTION! Observe electromagnetic compatibility!
Electrical medical equipment is subjected to stringent protective measures
concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and must be installed and
operated in accordance with the EMC information contained in the
accompanying documents. The following should be noted in particular:
