2.1
WARNINGS
•
For proper operation, your concentrator requires unobstructed ventilation. The ventilation ports
are located at the top and bottom of the rear cabinet. Keep the device 6 to 12 (15 to 30 cm)
inches away from walls that could impede adequate airflow to the device. Always make sure
that these areas are not obstructed by items, which may impede ventilation. Do not place
concentrator in a small closed space.
•
Servicing of this device must be referred to an authorized and trained Respironics home care
provider.
•
Oxygen generated by this concentrator is supplemental and should not be considered life
supporting or life sustaining. In certain circumstances, oxygen therapy can be hazardous; any
user should seek medical advice prior to using this device.
•
Oxygen vigorously accelerates combustion and should be kept away from heat or open flame.
Not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, with oxygen,
or with nitrous oxide.
•
Do not smoke or allow others to smoke or have open flames near the concentrator when it is
in use.
•
Do not use oil or grease on the concentrator or its components as these substances, when
combined with oxygen, can greatly increase the potential for a fire hazard and personal injury.
•
Do not use the concentrator if either the plug or power cord is damaged. Do not use extension
cords or electrical adaptors.
•
Do not attempt to clean the concentrator while it is plugged into an electrical outlet.
