Attention! Light and sunlight!
Only place the oxygen concentrator where it is not exposed to a direct light
source/heat source, such as direct sunlight!
7.3 Assembly
There are generally two possible ways to use the unit.
1 The unit is standing next to the user during use.
2 The user uses the "Set for external humidification". In this case the unit can stand in
another room.
ATTENTION!
The FireSafe Nozzle is a thermal fuse designed to stop the flow of oxygen in the
event that the downstream PVC tube is ignited. In doing so, the fire in the PV
tube is inclined to extinguish because PVC will not normally burn in air. The
FireSafe Nozzle is fitted directly to the outlet of each oxygen delivery device,
typically an oxygen flowmeter or the outlet of an oxygen concentrator!
Read through this entire chapter before installing this FireSafe Nozzle. As with
all medical equipment, attempting to use or install this device without a thorough
understanding of its operation and limitations may result in patient or user injury
1. This device is intended to be fitted to the outlet of a medical oxygen or oxygen
concentrator where breathing circuits that have low static operating pressures
not exceeding those stated in the device specification. It must not be used for
other applications.
2. This device is a flow direction sensitive device. It must be place with respect
to the correct flow direction; otherwise it is ineffective and does not protect the
patient in case of fire.
3. Do not install this device near an open flame or near a source of excessive
heat that is likely to exceed 40°C.
4. Oxygen is not flammable but the presence of oxygen will drastically increase
the rate and severity of combustion. Oil and/or grease in the presence of oxygen
become highly combustible. Do not use oil or grease on this device. In particular,
do not lubricate the seals or hose barb connector!
5. Never administer oxygen or undertake oxygen therapy while smoking or when
near an open flame.
