DANGER - NO SMOKING
•
Oxygen causes rapid burning� DO NOT SMOKE WHILE USING YOUR DEVILBISS OXYGEN EQUIPMENT or when you are
near a person utilizing oxygen therapy� Keep matches, cigarettes, burning tobacco, or candles away from the area where the
system is being stored or operated�
•
To reduce the risk of fire, burns, or injury to persons:
Oxygen, though non-flammable, vigorously supports and accelerates burning of any flammable material� If you know or suspect
oxygen has escaped other than through normal operation, open doors and windows to ventilate the area�
•
To prevent high concentrations of oxygen:
Do not leave iGo running when not in use� Do not leave cannula unattended while unit is delivering oxygen� High concentrations
of oxygen can cause rapid burning� Keep the equipment in a well-ventilated area�
•
Keep the iGo at least 5 feet (1�6 m) from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of flame� Position your unit at least 6 inches (16
cm) from walls, draperies, or any other object that might prevent the proper flow of air in and out of your iGo� The iGo should
be located so as to avoid pollutants or fumes�
•
Use No Oil or Grease: A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease, or other petroleum substances come into
contact with oxygen under pressure� Keep these substances away from the oxygen system, tubing and connections, and any
other oxygen source� DO NOT use any petroleum based or other lubricants�
•
Avoid creation of any spark near oxygen equipment� This includes sparks from static electricity created by any type of friction�
•
Never use aerosol sprays or flammable anesthetics near the equipment�
•
Electric Shock Hazard� Do not disassemble� The DeVilbiss iGo Portable Oxygen System contains no user serviceable parts� If
service is required, contact your DeVilbiss provider or authorized service center�
•
Do not install, assemble, or operate this equipment without first reading and understanding this instruction manual� If you are
unable to understand the warnings, cautions and instructions, contact your provider or technical personnel before attempting
to install or use this equipment - otherwise, injury or damage may occur�
•
Keep all units away from children� Do not allow unauthorized or untrained individuals to operate the equipment� Never tamper
with or try to repair the equipment yourself� If you have any questions or suspect your equipment is not operating properly,
contact your oxygen provider�
•
If the iGo has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or if it has been
submersed in water, do not use and call a qualified technician for examination and repair
•
The iGo is equipped with a High Pressure Relief Valve to ensure the user's safety�
•
Changing the L/min� setting will affect the dose of oxygen delivered, DO NOT readjust the L/min� setting unless directed by
your physician�
•
As with any electrically powered device, the user may experience periods of non-operation as the result of electrical power
interruption, or the need to have the unit serviced by a technician� An oxygen concentrator is not appropriate for any patient
who would experience adverse health consequences as the result of such temporary interruption� Availability of an alternate
source of oxygen is recommended in case of power outage or mechanical failure� Consult your physician for the type of back-up
system required� DO NOT ignore alerts� The iGo is not intended for life supporting or life sustaining applications, nor does it
provide any patient monitoring capabilities�
•
DO NOT leave the iGo or DC Adapter plugged into the vehicle without the engine running or attempt to start the vehicle
while the DC Adapter is connected to the vehicle� This may drain the vehicle's battery�
•
DO NOT operate device or accessories in standing water and DO NOT submerse or expose to water� The iGo enclosure does
not provide protection against the harmful effects of liquid ingress� Electric shock or damage to the unit may result�
