WARNING (Cont.)
•
Do not use the device or accessories in an environment
with electromagnetic equipment such as CT scanners,
Diathermy, RFID and electromagnetic security systems
(metal detectors) as it may cause unacceptable risk to the
patient or damage to the conserving device. Some
electromagnetic sources may not be apparent, if you
notice any unexplained changes in the performance of this
device, if it is making unusual or harsh sounds, discontinue
use. Contact your home care provider. This device is
suitable for use in home and healthcare environments
except for near active HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT and the
RF shielded room of an ME SYSTEM for magnetic
resonance imaging, where the intensity of
Electromagnetic DISTURBANCES is high.
•
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment should be avoided because it could result in
improper operation. If such use is necessary, this
equipment and the other equipment should be
observed to verify that they are operating normally.
•
Portable RF communications equipment (including
peripherals such as antenna cables and external
antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12
inches) to any part of the conserving device. Otherwise,
degradation of the performance of this equipment could
result.

CAUTION: Caution indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in propertydamage or minor injury or
both.
•
Prevent water or any other liquid substances from entering
the unit.
•
Prevent dust, lint or any small particles from entering the
unit, as these may degrade performance or cause oxygen
leaks.
•
Do not expose the unit to extreme temperatures or heat
sources such as fireplaces and radiant heaters.
•
Do not use humidifier bottles.
•
Do not use if leaking or damaged.
•
Refer repairs to authorized service personnel.
Do not use the flow outlet for driving any medical
•
equipment.
•
This product contains natural rubber latex (oxygen
pressure gauge rubber guard) which may cause allergic
reactions.
•
Oxygen supplied by this equipment is supplemental only
and is not intended for life support applications. The
OM-900CE electronic oxygen conserver should not be
used to supply anything other than medical oxygen.
•
Remember that in continuous flow mode, the oxygen will
be consumed at a much faster rate. Switch to another
oxygen source before depleting the oxygen cylinder. The
continuous flow funtion on the OM-900CE electronic
oxygen conserver is factory preset at 2 LPM.
•
Checking for leaks should be performed before each use.
To help prevent possible damage to the unit and to
•
maintain its cleanliness, keep the OM-900CE electronic
oxygen conserver in a carrying bag. Several bags are
available for use with different cylinder sizes and
configurations: contact your Home Care provider for more
information on carry bags.
•
Combinations with medical devices other than
recommended can alter the performance of the equipment
(example: combinations with reservoir cannula, extended
length tubing).
