or other licensed health care provider.
WARNING: THIS DEVICE SUPPLIES HIGHCON
CENTRATION OXYGEN THAT PROMOTES RAPID
BURNING. DO NOT ALLOW SMOKING OR OPEN
FLAMES WITHIN THE SAME ROOM OF 1 THIS
DEVICE, OR 2 ANY OXYGENCARRYING AC
CESSORY. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WARNING CAN RESULT
IN SEVERE FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND / OR CAUSE
PHYSICAL INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING: DO NOT USE YOUR OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR IN
