Important Safety Rules
Carefully review and familiarize yourself with the following important safety information
about the VisionAire™ Oxygen Concentrator.
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.
This unit is not to be used for life-support. Geriatric, pediatric, or any other
patient unable to communicate discomfort while using this oxygen
concentrator may require additional monitoring. Patients with hearing
and/or sight impairments may need assistance with monitoring the alarms.
If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical emergency, seek
medical assistance immediately.
Use no oil, grease, or petroleum-based or other flammable products on or
near nasal end of cannula or on the unit. Oxygen accelerates the combustion
of flammable substances.
Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect the power cord from the electric outlet
before you clean the unit to prevent accidental electrical shock and burn
hazard. Only your Equipment Provider or a qualified service technician
should remove the covers or service the unit.
Do not leave a nasal cannula under bed coverings or chair cushions. If the
unit is turned on but not in use, the oxygen will make the material
flammable. Set the I/0 power switch to the 0 (off) position when the
VisionAire unit is not in use.
Do not use extension cords with this unit or connect too many plugs into the
same electrical outlet. This can result in an overload to the electrical panel
causing the breaker/fuse to activate.
