WARNING
‣ The accessories (nasal cannula, masks, oxygen tubing, humidifiers, etc.) that supply oxygen to the patient must
be equipped with a means that, in case of fire, stops the propagation of fire through the accessory for the safety
of the patient and others. A fire activated flow-stop or thermal fuse device, if available, should be used with the
oxygen supply accessories. These types of flow-stop devices stop the flow of oxygen to the patient in the event of
fire. This means of fire protection should be located as close to the patient as practicable.
‣ Do not use accessories, detachable parts and materials not described in the instructions for use. Do not modify
the oxygen concentrator or accessories.
‣ It is very important to follow your oxygen prescription. Do not increase or decrease the flow of oxygen – consult
your physician.
‣ It is very important to follow the prescribed oxygen setting. Do not increase or decrease the flow of oxygen -
consult the prescribing physician for guidance.
‣ Do not interconnect this oxygen concentrator with other equipment not described in the instructions for use.
NOTE
• The device should only be used with bubble humidifiers that are designed for use with flows up to 10 liters per minute
and 8.5 psi pressure.
• A maximum of 50 feet (15 meters) of crush-proof oxygen tubing, plus 7 feet (2.1 meters) of cannula, plus a bubble
humidifier is allowed between the concentrator and the patient.
• The clinical staff or your provider should verify the compatibility of the oxygen concentrator and all of the parts used
to connect to the patient before use.
• The clinical staff or your provider may have preset the flow meter so that it cannot be adjusted.
• The physician has prescribed either a nasal cannula or face mask. In most cases, they are already attached to the
oxygen tubing. If not, follow the manufacturer's instructions for attachment.
