SAFETY SUMMARY
SAFETY SUMMARY
CAUTION
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 concentrator, tubing and connections, and all other
oxygen equipment. DO NOT use any lubricants unless
expressly 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 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 Service Personnel for
examination and repair.
Keep the cord away from HEATED or HOT surfaces.
Do not move or relocate concentrator by pulling on
the cord.
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.
