Key Safety Tips for Using Oxygen Concentrators

1. Keep away from open flames and high temperatures.

Oxygen itself does not burn, but it supports combustion. When using an oxygen concentrator, keep away from:

• Cigarettes, e-cigarettes
• Candles, fireplaces
• Gas stoves, barbecue grills
• Electric heaters and open flame equipment.

2. Maintain good ventilation.
Place the oxygen concentrator in a well-ventilated location.

• Leave at least 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) of space around the machine.
• Do not place it too close to walls, curtains, or furniture.
• Do not cover the machine's ventilation vents.

3. Use the correct power supply.
Use the original power adapter.

• Avoid sharing an outlet with high-power appliances.
• Do not use damaged power cords.
• Disconnect the power supply during thunderstorms.

4. Clean the filter regularly.

• Clean or replace the filter as instructed in the manual.
• Dust blockage can affect oxygen concentration and the lifespan of the device.
• Keep the air inlet clean.

5. Use the correct oxygen flow rate.

• Set the flow rate as advised by your doctor or according to the product instructions.
• Do not arbitrarily increase the flow rate. Long-term oxygen therapy users should monitor their blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂) regularly.

6. Avoid using oily products.

Avoid the following when using oxygen:

• Vaseline
• Oily skin care products
• Lubricants.

7. Check nasal cannula connection.

• Ensure the nasal cannula is securely connected to the oxygen outlet.
• Avoid knotting, folding, or flattening.
• Replace the nasal cannula and humidification bottle regularly.

8. Power outage emergency preparation.
For users requiring continuous oxygen therapy:

• Fully charge the spare battery.
• Prepare a vehicle power source.
• Familiarize yourself with local power outage emergency plans.
• Keep emergency contact numbers handy.

9. Keep the equipment dry.

• Do not use in damp environments such as bathrooms.
• Prevent liquids from entering the machine.
• Take waterproofing measures when going out in rainy weather.

10. Regular maintenance and inspection.

• Perform maintenance as required by the manufacturer.
• Check immediately if abnormal noise, alarms, or a drop in oxygen concentration occur.
• Do not disassemble the equipment yourself.
