WARNING: Users who require continuous oxygenation must plan for alternate
sources of power and oxygen in the event of a failure or loss of power. This
device is to be used as an oxygen supplement and is NOT considered life-
supporting or life-sustaining!
WARNING: There is a risk of fire associated with oxygen enrichment during
oxygen therapy. Do not use the oxygen concentrator or accessories near
sparks or open flames.
WARNING: To ensure you are receiving the therapeutic amount of oxygen
delivery according to your medical condition this device must
- Be used only after one or more settings have been individually
determined or prescribed for you at your specific activity levels.
- Be used with the specific combination of parts and accessories that are
in line with the specification of the concentrator manufacturer and that were
used while your settings were determined.
WARNING: Use only water-based lotions or salves that are oxygen-
compatible before and during oxygen therapy. Never use petroleum or oil-
based lotions or salves to avoid the risk of fire and burns.
WARNING: Do not lubricate fittings, connections, tubing, or other
accessories of the oxygen concentrator to avoid the risk of fire and burns.
WARNING: Use only replacement parts recommended by the manufacturer
to ensure proper function and to avoid the risk of fire and burns.
WARNING: Use of this device outside of the ranges for altitude,
temperature or relative humidity listed in the Specifications Section of this
manual are expected to adversely affect the flowrate, the percentage of
oxygen and consequently the quality of the therapy.
WARNING: Do not leave the nasal cannula or mask on bed coverings or
chair cushions, if the oxygen concentrator is turned on, but not in use; the
oxygen will make the materials flammable. Turn the oxygen concentrator
off when not in use to prevent oxygen enrichment.
WARNING: If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical emergency
while undergoing oxygen therapy, seek medical assistance immediately to
avoid harm.
WARNING: Smoking during oxygen therapy is dangerous and is likely to
result in facial burns or death. Do not allow smoking within the same room
where the oxygen concentrator or any oxygen carrying accessories are
located.

1.3 Placement
Select a room in your home where using your oxygen concentrator would be
most convenient. Your concentrator can easily roll from room to room on its
casters.
Do not place the oxygen concentrator in an area where its airflow may be
obstructed.
Be sure to place the oxygen concentrator so that all sides are at least 10 cm
(4”) away from walls, draperies, furniture, or similar surfaces. Avoid placing on
deep pile carpets. Avoid placing near heaters, radiators, and hot air registers.
Do not place the unit in a confined area.
The oxygen concentrator MUST be kept away from heat, fire, and water
sources.
The oxygen concentrator should be placed in an area that is clear of pollutants
and fumes.
Do not place items on top of the concentrator.
NEVER block the air intake or air exhaust of the device, and keep them free
from lint, hair, and dust.
Do not place the unit on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the
concentrator may tip or fall.

with high intensity when exposed to oxygen-enriched air. Failure to observe this
warning can result in severe fire, property damage, physical injury, or DEATH.
Use of oxygen therapy requires that special care be taken to reduce the risk of
fire. Many materials, even those that may not be flammable under normal
conditions, are easily ignited and will burn rapidly when exposed to high
