IMPORTANT:
1. If an extension cord is necessary, use a UL listed 15 amp or higher
cord. Do not connect any other devices on the same extension cord.
2. Inhale through nose for the concentrator to work most effectively.
Inhaling through mouth may result in less effective oxygen therapy.
3. This device utilizes an oxygen-conserving delivery method, and the
setting on this device may differ from your setting on a continuous
flow oxygen concentrator (if you have been prescribed one). Your
clinician will provide you with specific instructions based on your
specific health condition and other variables.
