WARNING: USE OF DEVICE OUTSIDE OF
SPECIFIED OPERATING CONDITIONS IS
EXPECTED TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
FLOWRATE AND PERCENTAGE OF OXYGEN
AND CONSEQUENTLY THE QUALITY OF
THE THERAPY.
Note: If the Oxygen Concentrator has been stored for
an extended period of time outside its normal operat-
ing temperature range, the unit should be allowed to
return to normal operating temperature before being
turned on. (Refer to the Specifications section in this
manual.)
Proper Placement of the Companion 5
Select a location for the device that avoids the
intake of smoke, fumes and pollutants. Correct
placement of the device should allow intake of
air through the three air intake locations at the top
rear and underneath the cabinet, and also allow for
exhaust air to freely leave the exhaust vent at the
bottom left of the device.
Air intakes are located on the upper back and
bottom of the concentrator. Locate the unit so that
there is at least 12 inches (30 cm) of space between
the concentrator and any walls, furniture, curtains,
or other obstructions.
Place the device such that the alarms can be heard.
Position the oxygen supply tubing in such a way
that it does not kink or occlude.
WARNING: DO NOT USE YOUR OXYGEN
CONCENTRATOR IN THE PRESENCE OF
FLAMMABLE GASES. THIS CAN RESULT
IN RAPID BURNING CAUSING PROPERTY
DAMAGE, BODILY INJURIES OR DEATH.
USE NO OIL, GREASE, OR PETROLEUM-
BASED OR OTHER FLAMMABLE
PRODUCTS WITH THE OXYGEN-
CARRYING ACCESSORIES OR THE
OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR. ONLY WATER
BASED, OXYGEN COMPATIBLE LOTIONS
OR SALVES SHOULD BE USED. OXYGEN
ACCELERATES THE COMBUSTION OF
FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES.
WARNING: THIS DEVICE SUPPLIES HIGH-
CONCENTRATION OXYGEN THAT PROMOTES
RAPID BURNING. DO NOT ALLOW SMOKING OR
OPEN FLAMES WITHIN THE SAME ROOM OF (1)
THIS DEVICE, OR (2) ANY OXYGEN-CARRYING
ACCESSORY. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WARNING
CAN RESULT IN SEVERE FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
AND/OR CAUSE PHYSICAL INJURY OR DEATH.
