DANGER
To reduce the risk of fire, burns, or injury to persons:
Oxygen, though non-flammable, vigorously supports and accelerates burning of any flammable
material. If you know or suspect oxygen has escaped other than through normal operation, open doors
and windows to ventilate the area.
1. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE USING YOUR DEVILBISS OXYGEN EQUIPMENT. Keep matches, cigarettes,
burning tobacco, or candles away from the area where the system is being stored or operated.
2. Avoid creation of any spark near oxygen equipment. This includes sparks from static electricity created
by any type of friction.
3. Keep the equipment at least seven feet away from radios, television sets, window air conditioners, fans,
electric razors, hair dryers, and all other electrical appliances.
4. Keep the equipment away from heat sources, electric or gas heaters of any kind, fireplaces, or stoves.
5. Keep all flammable materials or petroleum-based products away from the equipment.
6. Never attempt to lubricate the equipment.
7. Never use aerosol sprays near the equipment.
8. To avoid strangulation never route oxygen tubing around the neck. Always read and follow the cannula
manufacturer's instructions.
To prevent high concentrations of oxygen:
1. Keep the equipment in a well-ventilated area.
2. Do not carry equipment under a coat or any form of clothing.
3. Turn off oxygen supply by closing the cylinder valve when not in use.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury:
1. Keep all units away from children. Do not allow unauthorized or untrained individuals to operate the
equipment. Never tamper with or try to repair the equipment yourself. If you have any questions or
suspect your equipment is not operating properly, contact your oxygen provider.
2. Do not immerse in liquids or subject device to harsh conditions.
3. Do not use in temperatures greater than 104°F (40°C) or below 14°F (-10°C).
4. Do not use with other equipment (i.e. humidifier, nebulizer, etc.) when in PulseDose delivery mode.
PHYSICIAN'S NOTES
1. Do not use with patients who breathe below 6 Breaths Per Minute (BPM) or above 40 BPM.
2. Do not use with patients who consistently fail to trigger equipment (i.e. mouth breathing with closed soft
palates).
3. Verify patient is getting adequate Pa02 or Sa02 levels in PulseDose delivery.
4. Use only standard nasal cannula with PulseDose delivery. Do not use pediatric (low-flow) nasal cannula
or mask with PulseDose delivery.
5. A mask or any nasal cannula can be used with continuous flow delivery.
6. The PD1000 series contains an internally controlled preset 2 LPM continuous flow backup. The service
manual describes how to change the cannula fitting to obtain a 3, 4, 5 or 6 LPM continuous flow backup.
