Warnings Overview
1. Do not use the product without first reading the user manual.
2. Do not operate this device if unsure of its operation or function. Contact your home oxygen provider for
assistance or further information.
3. There is a risk of fire associated with oxygen equipment and therapy. Do not use near sparks or open
flames.
4. Geriatrics or any other patient unable to communicate discomfort can require additional monitoring to avoid
harm.
5. Smoking (including e-cigarettes) during oxygen therapy is dangerous and is likely to result in facial burns,
serious injury or death of the patient and others from fire. Do not allow smoking or open flames within
the same room as the oxygen concentrator or any oxygen carrying accessories. If you smoke, you
must always turn the oxygen concentrator off, remove the cannula and leave the room where either the
cannula or the concentrator is located.
6. Use only water-based lotions that are oxygen compatible, before and during oxygen therapy. Never use
petroleum or oil-based lotions or salves when operating the device to avoid the risk of fire and burns.
7. Open flames during oxygen therapy are dangerous and are likely to result in fire or death. Do not allow
open flames within 3 meters (10 feet) of the oxygen concentrator or any oxygen carrying accessory.
8. Oxygen makes it easier for a fire to start and spread. Do not leave the nasal cannula on bed coverings,
chair cushions or otherwise unattended with the concentrator on, but not in use; the oxygen will make the
materials flammable. Turn the concentrator off when not in use to prevent oxygen enrichment.
9. Explosion hazard. Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics, cleaning agents, or other
chemical vapors.
10. Do not use this device in the presence of pollutants or fumes.

14. Use of this device at an altitude above 10,000 feet (3,000 m), or outside the temperature range of 41°F (5°
C) to 104°F (40°C), or outside the humidity range of 5% to 95% may adversely affect the flowrate and
percentage of oxygen and consequently the quality of therapy. When not in use, the device should be
stored in a clean, dry environment between -13°F and 158°F (-25°C and 70°C). Use and/or storage outside

at your specific activity levels by a healthcare professional.
