WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW SMOKING, CANDLES, OR OPEN FLAMES WITHIN 10 FEET (3 METERS) OF THE DEVICE, OR CLOSER THAN 8 INCHES (20 CM) FROM ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION.
WARNING: KEEP YOUR UNIT IN A WELL­VENTILATED AREA.
WARNING: DO NOT STORE LIQUID OXYGEN EQUIPMENT IN A CLOSET, CAR TRUNK, OR OTHER CONFINED AREA. DO NOT PLACE BLANKETS, DRAPERIES, OR OTHER FABRICS OVER EQUIPMENT.
WARNING: THIS PRODUCT CAN EXPOSE YOU TO CHEMICALS INCLUDING NICKEL, WHICH IS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER. FOR MORE INFORMATION, GO TO WWW.P65WARNINGS.CA.GOV.
Caution: Use the EMS 20 only as directed by your doctor.
Keep ammable materials away from
this equipment. Aerosol sprays, oils and grease, including facial creams and pe­troleum jelly, ignite easily and may burn rapidly in the presence of oxygen.
Smoking while wearing an oxygen can­nula can cause facial burns and possibly result in death. Removing the cannula and placing it on clothing, bedding, sofas, or other
cushion material will cause a ash re
when exposed to a cigarette, heat source,
spark or ame.
If you smoke please: (1) turn off the portable, (2) take off the cannula, and (3) leave the room where the device is located.
In the event of an accidental tip-over, immediately but cautiously return the unit into an upright position if possible.
If any liquid oxygen is escaping, leave the area immediately and call your healthcare provider. Do not attempt to move the unit or stop the liquid oxygen from escaping.
Do not touch frosted parts of any unit.
Do not store or operate the portable coupled to the EMS 20.
Do not allow untrained personnel to handle or operate this device.
Use of this device is prohibited on com-
mercial passenger and cargo air ights
by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The unit contains liquid oxygen which is extremely cold, almost 300°F (-184°C). Exposure to such a low temperature can cause severe frostbite.
Liquid and gaseous oxygen, though
nonammable, cause other materials to
burn faster than normal. This hazard, along with the low temperature of liquid oxygen, warrants certain safety precau­tions.
