WARNING: IF LARGE AMOUNTS OF VAPOR ARE
ISSUING FROM THE UNITS DURING FILLING, STOP
FILLING, LEAVE THE ROOM AND CALL YOUR HEALTH
CARE PROVIDER.

USE AND CONTACT YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER
IMMEDIATELY
WARNING: LIQUID OR COLD GASEOUS OXYGEN
CAN FROSTBITE THE SKIN. OXYGEN WILL RESULT IN
INCREASED FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING: IF THE SPIRIT DOES NOT SEPARATE
EASILY, DO NOT USE FORCE. THE UNITS MAY BE
FROZEN TOGETHER. LEAVE THE UNITS CONNECTED
AND WAIT UNTIL THE UNITS WARM UP—THEN
THEY WILL SEPARATE EASILY. DO NOT TOUCH ANY
FROSTED PARTS.
Caution: Should there be any liquid
leakage from the stationary unit or Spirit
separating the units, set the Spirit aside,
ensuring it remains vertical, leave the
room, and call your health care provider
immediately.
Caution: Check liquid level gauge only after the
valve is closed.
Caution: If the Spirit is being refilled immediately
after a period of use, fill the Spirit and then wait
10 minutes after filling with the flow rate selection
knob set at zero for the pressure to stabilize. Then
operate as normal.
Operating Instructions
1. Push the cannula breathing tube firmly onto the
oxygen tube connector.
Cannula is not included.
2. Adjust the cannula breathing tube to the proper
position so that you will be able to breathe the
oxygen comfortably.
NOTE: Ensure the cannula is fully inserted and secure.
During inhalation, you should hear or feel oxygen
flow to the prongs of the nasal cannula. The proper
placement and positioning of the prongs of the nasal
cannula in your nose is critical to the amount of oxygen
delivered to the respiratory system of the end user.
3. Turn the flow rate selection knob on top of the
Spirit clockwise until the prescribed flow rate
(numeral) is visible in the knob "window" and
a positive detent is felt.
