WARNING: USE OF DEVICE OUTSIDE OF
SPECIFIED OPERATING CONDITIONS
MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
FLOWRATE AND PERCENTAGE OF
OXYGEN AND CONSEQUENTLY THE
QUALITY OF THE THERAPY.
Note: If the Oxygen Concentrator has been stored
for an extended period of time outside its normal oper-
ating temperature range, the unit should be allowed to
return to normal operating temperature before being
turned on. (Refer to the Specifications section in this
manual.)
Proper Placement of the Companion 5
Select a location for the device that avoids the
intake of smoke, fumes and pollutants. Correct
placement of the device should allow intake of
air through the three air intake locations at the top
rear and underneath the cabinet, and also allow for
exhaust air to freely leave the exhaust vent at the
bottom left of the device.
Air intakes are located on the upper back and
bottom of the concentrator. Locate the unit so that
there is at least 12 inches (30 cm) of space between
the concentrator and any walls, furniture, curtains,
or other obstructions.
Place the device such that the alarms can be heard.
Position the oxygen supply tubing in such a way
that it does not kink or occlude.
WARNING: DO NOT USE YOUR OXYGEN
CONCENTRATOR IN THE PRESENCE
OF FLAMMABLE GASES. THIS CAN
RESULT IN RAPID BURNING CAUSING
PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURIES
OR DEATH. USE NO OIL, GREASE,
OR PETROLEUM-BASED OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS WITH THE
OXYGEN-CARRYING ACCESSORIES OR
THE OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR. ONLY
WATER BASED, OXYGEN COMPATIBLE
LOTIONS OR SALVES SHOULD BE
USED. OXYGEN ACCELERATES
THE COMBUSTION OF FLAMMABLE
SUBSTANCES.
WARNING: THIS DEVICE SUPPLIES HIGH-
CONCENTRATION OXYGEN THAT PROMOTES
RAPID BURNING. DO NOT ALLOW SMOKING
OR OPEN FLAMES WITHIN THE SAME ROOM
OF (1) THIS DEVICE, OR (2) ANY OXYGEN-
CARRYING ACCESSORY. FAILURE TO OBSERVE
THIS WARNING CAN RESULT IN SEVERE FIRE,
PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND/OR CAUSE PHYSICAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
