DANGER
NO SMOKING signs should be prominently displayed.
‣ Oxygen causes rapid burning. Do not smoke while your oxygen concentrator is operating, or when you are near
a person utilizing oxygen therapy.
‣ Do not leave the nasal cannula or mask on bed coverings or chair cushions if the oxygen concentrator is turned
on but not in use. The oxygen will make the materials flammable. Turn the oxygen concentrator OFF when not in
use.
‣ Smoking during oxygen therapy is dangerous and is likely to result in facial burns or death. Do not allow smoking
within the same room where the oxygen concentrator or any oxygen carrying accessories are located.
‣ If you intend to smoke, you must always turn the oxygen concentrator OFF, remove the cannula and leave the
room where either the cannula or mask or the oxygen concentrator is located. If unable to leave the room, you
must wait 10 minutes after you have turned off the oxygen concentrator before smoking.
‣ Keep the oxygen concentrator and cannula at least 2 m (6.5 feet) from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of
flame.
‣ Open flames during oxygen therapy are dangerous and are likely to result in fire or death. Do not allow open
flames near any oxygen carrying accessories.
‣ Drive DeVilbiss oxygen concentrators are equipped with a fire mitigating outlet fitting that prevents propagation of
fire into the unit.
