Smoking while using oxygen is the number one cause
of fire, injury, and death. You must follow these safety
warnings:
Do not allow smoking, candles, or open flames within the same room
of the device or
the oxygen-carrying accessories.
Smoking while wearing an oxygen cannula may result in facial burns
and possibly death.
Removing the cannula and placing it on surfaces such as bedding,
sofas, or other cushion material will cause a flash fire when exposed
to a cigarette, heat source, or flame.
If you smoke, you must follow these 3 life-saving steps: turn off the
oxygen concentrator, take off the cannula, and leave the room
where this device is located.
“No Smoking – Oxygen in Use” signs must be prominently displayed
in the home, or where the oxygen concentrator is in use. Patients and
their caregivers must be informed about the dangers of smoking in
the presence of, or while using, medical oxygen.
