Concentrator.
This device supplies high-concentration oxygen that promotes rapid burning. Do not allow smoking or open flames
within five feet (1.5 m) of this device, or any oxygen-carrying accessory. Failure to observe this warning can result in
severe fire, property damage, and/or cause physical injury or death.
If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical emergency, seek medical assistance immediately.
This unit is not to be used for life support. Geriatric, pediatric, or any other patients unable to communicate discomfort
while using this unit may require additional monitoring. Patients with hearing and/or sight impairment(s) may need

Use no oil, grease, or petroleum-based or other flammable products on the oxygen carrying accessories or the Focus

not to pierce, strike, step on, or drop the battery, or otherwise subject the battery to strong impacts or shocks.
While using the Focus unit outdoors with the AC power supply, connect the power supply into a Ground Fault
Interrupted (GFI) outlet only to prevent accidental electrical shock hazard.
