Warning
Please read the following information carefully before operating the oxygen concentrator.
Special attention should be given to reducing the risk of fire when using oxygen therapy. When the oxygen
concentration is high, any material becomes extremely flammable and burns quickly, regardless of whether it
is flammable or not. For safety reasons, all ignitions should be kept away from the oxygen concentrator and
preferably shall not be in the same room as the oxygen concentrator.
Oil, grease or petroleum-based products are prone to strong spontaneous combustion when exposed to
oxygen under pressure. These materials must be kept away from oxygen concentrators, piping, connections
and other oxygen concentrator components. Do not use any lubricant.
Oxygen concentrators are strictly prohibited from being inverted or positioned horizontally during use and
displacement, and should avoid an environment of pollution and smoke. The oxygen concentrator requires an
ambient temperature of 10 to 37°C. When the temperature is lower than 10°C, the compressor may have
difficulties starting. Above 37°C will cause the compressor to overheat and shorten the life of the machine.
It is strictly forbidden to use oxygen concentration in an environment above 3000 meters. Such an
environment will reduce the quality of patient treatment.
Please do not move the oxygen concentration while it is in use.
Do not turn on the oxygen concentrator with
the flow meter turned off.
During use, the oxygen concentrator produces a regular exhaust sound when
oxygen is produced, which is a normal phenomenon.
It is normal for the exhaust vent at the bottom of the
oxygen concentrator to discharge hot air.
Please do not block the exhaust vent during use.
In order to achieve the best performance of the oxygen
concentrator, SCALEO Medical recommends to use the oxygen concentrator for more than 30 minutes each
time. Frequent use of the oxygen concentrator for a short period of time may reduce the lifespan of the
machine.
If the oxygen compressor power cord or plug is damaged, if the machine is working abnormally or if it falls
into water, please contact your authorized service provider for inspection.
Keep the power cord away from
heat or high temperature surfaces. Do not use extension cords.
Do not move the oxygen concentrator by dragging the power cord. Do not drop or insert foreign objects into
any openings. It is strictly forbidden to block the air inlet and exhaust port of the device or place the machine
on a soft surface, such as a sofa or a bed, which can cause the exhaust port to be blocked. Keep the air intake
away from plush, hair or similar.
