WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage

water and/or water damage to the concentrator:
– DO NOT fill humidifier bottle with hot water. Allow
boiled water to cool to room temperature before
filling.
– DO NOT overfill humidifier.
– Replace the humidifier cap and securely tighten.
Confirm that the cap is not cross-threaded on the

– When using tubing connections longer than 2.1 m
(7 feet) in length, position the humidifier as close
to the patient as possible to allow for maximum
humidification output.
