Cautions - Philips EverFlo Q Service And Technical Reference Manual

• Avoid handling the molecular sieve material. Respironics recommends the return of the sieve
canister assembly to Respironics for any service that involves sieve disposal.
• Use extreme caution when handling the compressor capacitor as it holds an electrical charge
until is it properly discharged.
• Device operation above or outside of the voltage, LPM, temperature, humidity and/or altitude
values specified may decrease oxygen concentration levels.
• If the EverFlo Oxygen Concentrator has been subjected to sub-freezing temperatures for an
extended period, it should be allowed to warm up to the stated operating temperatures before
power up. Failure to do so could result in improper performance and or alarm conditions until
the device reaches normal operating temperatures.
