2.1 WARNINGS
2.1.1 Safety
Oxygen generated by this concentrator is supple-
mental and should not be considered life supporting
or life sustaining. In certain circumstances, oxygen
therapy can be hazardous; any user should seek
medical advice prior to using this device.
Chapter 2: Warnings, Cautions, & Notes
Where the prescribing physician has determined
that an interruption in the supply of oxygen, for any
reason, may have serious consequences to the user,
an alternate source of oxygen should be available
for immediate use.
Keep the unit away from heat and/or open flame as
oxygen greatly accelerates combustion.
Do not smoke when the concentrator is operating or
a patient is using oxygen.
Do not use greases, oils, or any petroleum based
solvent or cleaner on or near the unit.
Use extreme caution when handling the compressor
capacitor as it holds an electrical charge until it is
properly discharged.
Avoid handling the molecular sieve material.
Respironics recommends the return of the sieve
canister assembly to Respironics for any service that
involves sieve disposal.
2.1.2 Operational
Never modify the power cord or use adapters,
extension cords, etc. The unit is double insulated
and does not require a 3-prong power plug. Any
modification to the power cord could alter this
safety feature.
