SAFETY SUMMARY
SAFETY SUMMARY
CAUTION
Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale or rental
by or on order of a physician, or any other practitioner
licensed by the law of the State in which he practices to
use or order the use of this device.
Risk of electric shock. DO NOT disassemble. Refer servicing
to qualified service personnel.
READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE
OPERATING THIS PRODUCT.
WARNING
The use of oxygen therapy requires that special care be
taken to reduce the risk of fire. Any materials that will
burn in air, and some that will not, are easily ignited and
burn rapidly in high concentrations of oxygen. For safety
concerns, it is necessary that all sources of ignition be kept
away from the product and preferably out of the room in
which it is being used. NO SMOKING signs should be
prominently displayed.
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 concen-
trator, tubing and connections, and all other oxygen equipment.
DO NOT use any lubricants unless recommended by Invacare.
For optimum performance, Invacare recommends that each
concentrator be on and running for a minimum of 30 minutes at
a time. Shorter periods of operation may reduce maximum
product life. If it 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 Service Personnel for examination and repair.
Keep the cord away from HEATED or HOT surfaces.
NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.
NEVER block the air openings of the product or place it on a
soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air opening
may be blocked. Keep the openings free from lint, hair and
the like. Fill humidifier with water to the level shown by the
manufacturer. DO NOT overfill.

SAFETY SUMMARY
WARNING (CONTINUED)
Keep at least 3 inches away from walls, draperies, furniture,
and the like.
Invacare recommends that Crush-Proof oxygen tubing
(supplied by Invacare) be used with this product and NOT
exceed 50 ft. (15.2m) in length.
MAINTENANCE
The Invacare Oxygen Concentrator was specifically designed to
minimize routine preventive maintenance at intervals of once
per year. Only professionals of the healthcare field or persons
fully conversant with this process such as authorized or factory
trained personnel should perform preventive maintenance or
performance adjustments on the oxygen concentrator.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
Most electronic equipment is influenced by Radio Frequency
Interference (RFI). CAUTION should be exercised with regard
to the use of portable communications equipment in the area
around such equipment.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS, ELECTROCUTION, FIRE
OR INJURY TO PERSONS.
WARNING
ALWAYS unplug this product IMMEDIATELY after using.
Avoid using while bathing. If continuous usage is required by the
physicians prescription:
The concentrator must be located in another room at least
seven (7) feet 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.
A product should NEVER be left unattended when plugged in.

WARNING (CONTINUED)
This device is to be used only in accordance with the prescription
of a physician and this Owners Manual. If at any time the patient
or attendant conclude that the patient is receiving an insufficient
amount of oxygen, the supplier and/or physician should be
contacted immediately. No adjustments should be made to the
flowrate unless prescribed by a physician.
Close supervision is necessary when this product is used near
children or physically-challenged individuals.
Use this product for only intended use as described in this manual.
DO NOT use parts, accessories or adapters other than those
authorized by Invacare.
DO NOT connect the concentrator in parallel or series with
other oxygen concentrators or oxygen therapy devices.
Use of some administration accessories or certain humidifiers
not specified for use with oxygen concentrator may impair the
performance.
In certain circumstances oxygen therapy can be hazardous.
Invacare recommends that you seek medical advice before
using this machine.
This equipment is to be used as an oxygen supplement and is not
considered life supporting or life sustaining.
Avoid creation of any spark near medical oxygen equipment.
This includes sparks from static electricity created by any
type of friction.
POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTION
SAFETY SUMMARY
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE.
