Installing/Removing the Oxygen Holder

ƽ WARNING

Contact your oxygen supplier for instructions in the use of oxygen. Extreme care

MUST be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electric circuits.
The Invacare oxygen holder is designed to be used in conjunction with oxygen

cylinder models MD15 and ME24 only.
To maintain safety, use only Invacare oxygen cylinder accessories (i.e. regulator,

oxygen demand devices).
DO NOT use the oxygen holder for anything other than its intended purpose of

supporting an oxygen cylinder - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
DO NOT attempt to modify the oxygen holder to fit any other type of wheelchair.

The oxygen holder was designed specifically for Invacare wheelchairs only.
The installation of the oxygen holder onto the back of the wheelchair seat

significantly increases the length of the wheelchair. When turning the wheelchair it

is important to take note of this increased length - otherwise, injury or damage may

occur.
When using nasal or masked type administering equipment, oxygen or air tubing

MUST be routed and secured properly to ensure that the tubing does not become

entangled, kinked or severed. If necessary, loosen but DO NOT remove the mount-

ing knob.
