Compressed oxygen can quickly enrich the atmosphere with
oxygen and lead to fire or explosion of combustible substances.
 Ensure adequate ventilation.
 Never smoke in the vicinity of fittings carrying oxygen.
 Keep the oxygen supply away from naked flames or other
ignition sources.
 Keep the device and screwed unions free from oil and grease.
 Wash your hands before working on the oxygen supply to
remove any oil or grease.
 Secure the oxygen cylinder so that it cannot fall over.
 Tighten or loosen all screwed unions on the oxygen cylinder
and on the pressure reducer by hand only.
 If necessary, use a wrench suitable for pin index oxygen
cylinders.
Disruption or failure of therapy due to a portable unit or
accessories which are defective or not ready for use!
The use of defective portable units or defective accessories can
cause the portable unit to malfunction. This can result in severe
or life-threatening injury to the patient and user.
