DANGER
DO NOT SMOKE while using this device. Keep all matches, lit cigarettes, candles or other sources of ignition out of the
room in which this product is located and away from where oxygen is being delivered.
NO SMOKING signs should be prominently displayed. Textiles and other materials that normally would not burn are easily
ignited and burn with great intensity in oxygen enriched air. Failure to observe this warning can result in severe fire,
property damage and cause physical injury or damage.
Risk of electric shock. DO NOT disassemble. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. No user serviceable parts.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS, ELECTROCUTION, FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS
A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease, greasy substances, or petroleum based products come in
contact with oxygen under pressure. These substances MUST be kept away from the concentrator, tubing and
connections, and all other oxygen equipment. DO NOT use any lubricants unless recommended by Invacare.
Avoid using while bathing. If continuous usage is required by the physician's prescription, the concentrator MUST be
located in another room at least seven feet from the bath.
DO NOT come in contact with the concentrator while wet.
DO NOT place or store product where it can drop into water or other liquid.
DO NOT reach for product that has fallen into water. Unplug IMMEDIATELY.
Keep the oxygen tubing, cord, and unit out from under such items as blankets, bed coverings, chair cushions, clothing
and away from heated or hot surfaces, including space heaters, stoves and similar electrical appliances.
Avoid creation of any spark near medical oxygen equipment. This includes sparks from static electricity created by any type
of friction.
