operationanduseofthisproduct.
To Reduce the Risk of Burns,
Electrocution, Fire or Injury to Persons
 DANGER
Risk of electric shock. DO NOT disassemble. Refer servicing
to qualified service personnel. No user serviceable parts.
Avoid using while bathing. If continuous usage is required
by the physician’s prescription, the concentrator MUST be
located in another room at least 7 ft from the bath.
DO NOT come in contact with the concentrator while wet.
DO NOT place or store product where it can drop into
water or other liquid.
DO NOT reach for product that has fallen into water.
Unplug IMMEDIATELY.
If the concentrator has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or
dropped into water, call qualified technician for
examination and repair.
A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease
or greasy substances come in contact with oxygen under
pressure. These substances MUST be kept away from the
oxygen concentrator, tubing and connections, and all
other oxygen equipment. DO NOT use any lubricants
unless recommended by Invacare.
Avoid creation of any spark near medical oxygen
equipment. This includes sparks from static electricity
created by any type of friction.
