SAFETY SUMMARY

SAFETY SUMMARY

CAUTION

Risk of electric shock. DO NOT disassemble. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE OPERATING THIS PRODUCT.

WARNING

The use of oxygen therapy requires that special care be taken to reduce the risk of fire. Any materials that will burn in air, and some that will not, are easily ignited and burn rapidly in high concentrations of oxygen. For safety concerns, it is necessary that all sources of ignition be kept away from the product and preferably out of the room in which it is being used. NO SMOKING signs should be prominently displayed.

A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease or greasy substances come in contact with oxygen under pressure. These substances MUST be kept away from the oxygen concentrator, tubing and connections, and all other oxygen equipment. DO NOT use any lubricants unless expressly recommended by Invacare.

For optimum performance, Invacare recommends that each concentrator be on and running for a minimum of 30 minutes at a time. Shorter periods of operation may reduce maximum product life.

If the concentrator has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water, call Qualified Service Personnel for examination and repair.

PRECAUCIÓN

“Precaución: Este aparato sólo debe usarse bajo la prescripción médica o de personal autorizado”.

Peligro de descarga eléctrica. NO desmonte este aparato. Sólo personal calificado debe dar servicio al equipo.

LEA LA SIGUIENTE INFORMACIÓN ANTES DE PONER EN FUNCIONAMIENTO ESTE EQUIPO.

ADVERTENCIA

La oxigenoterapia debe realizarse con sumo cuidado para reducir el riesgo de incendio. Cualquier material combustible o no en el aire es fácilmente inflamable en concentraciones altas de oxígeno. Por razones de seguridad, es preciso mantener todas las fuentes inflamables lejos del producto, y preferiblemente fuera de la habitación donde sea utilizado. Coloque señales de NO FUMAR en lugares visibles.

Puede producirse una inflamación espontánea y violenta si aceite, grasas u otras substancias entran en contacto con el oxígeno bajo presión. ALEJE estas substancias del concentrador de oxígeno, de sus tubos, conexiones y de todo otro equipo afín. NO use ningún tipo de lubricante a menos que éste sea recomendado por Invacare.

Para obtener un rendimiento óptimo, Invacare recomienda mantener los concentradores encendidos y funcionando por un mínimo de 30 minutos cada vez. Periodos de funcionamiento inferiores pueden reducir la vida útil máxima del producto.

Póngase en contacte con personal de servicio calificado para que repare el equipo en caso de que éste tenga el cable o enchufe dañados, si no funciona adecuadamente, si se ha caído, dañado o caído al agua.

Mantenga el cable lejos de superficies TEMPERADAS o CALIENTES.

No tire del cable eléctrico para mover ni trasladar el concentrador.

NUNCA deje caer ni introduzca ningún objeto en ninguna abertura.

28

MEDIDAS DE SEGURIDAD

ADVERTENCIA (CONTINUACIÓN)

NUNCA obstruya las aberturas de aire del producto ni ubique el equipo sobre una superficie blanda, como una cama o sofá donde la abertura de aire quede obstruida. Elimine todas las pelusas, cabello y demás impurezas. Llene con agua el humidificador hasta el nivel indicado por el fabricante.

NO REBASE EL NIVEL.

Mantenga el equipo a 7.5 centímetros (3 in) de las paredes, cortinas, muebles, etc.

Invacare recomienda usar el equipo con tubos antienredos (proporcionados por Invacare) que no sobrepasen los 15.2 metros (50 pies) de largo.

MANTENIMIENTO

El concentrador de oxígeno Invacare ha sido especialmente diseñado para minimizar el mantenimiento preventivo rutinario una vez al año. Sólo personal médico o personas con conocimientos técnicos sobre el equipo, tales como el personal autorizado o capacitado de la fábrica, pueden llevar a cabo el mantenimiento preventivo o realizar ajustes de rendimiento en el concentrador de oxígeno.

INTERFERENCIA DE RADIOFRECUENCIA

La mayoría de los equipos eléctricos se ven afectados por interferencia de radiofrecuencia. TENGA CUIDADO al usar equipos de comunicación portátiles cerca o alrededor de dichos equipos.

PARA REDUCIR EL RIESGO DE QUEMADURAS, ELECTROCUCIÓN, INCENDIO O LESIONES PERSONALES.

SIEMPRE desenchufe el producto INMEDIATAMENTE después de usarlo. No lo use mientras se bañe. Si el médico ha recomendado el uso continuo del equipo:

Coloque el concentrador en otra habitación, a por lo menos 2.1 metros (7 pies) de la bañera.

NO toque el concentrador si usted está mojado.

NO coloque ni guarde el producto en un lugar donde pueda caer al agua u otros líquidos.

NO recoja el producto si éste ha caído al agua. DESENCHÚFELO DE INMEDIATO.

SIEMPRE preste atención al equipo cuando esté enchufado.

MEDIDAS DE SEGURIDAD

ADVERTENCIA (CONTINUACIÓN)

Este dispositivo debe usarse tal como lo indica la receta médica y el manual del usuario. Si en cualquier momento el paciente o el asistente considera que el paciente está recibiendo una cantidad insuficiente de oxígeno, se debe comunicar de inmediato al proveedor y/o al médico. No haga ningún ajuste al caudal del flujo a menos que lo indique el médico.

Se debe supervisar continuamente el dispositivo cuando se use cerca de niños o personas discapacitadas.

Use este producto para lo cual fue diseñado, tal como se describe en este manual.

NO use partes, accesorios ni adaptadores distintos de los autorizados por Invacare.

NO conecte el concentrador en paralelo ni en serie con otros concentradores de oxígeno ni ningún otro dispositivo para la oxigenoterapia.

El uso de algunos accesorios de administración de oxígeno o ciertos humidificadores no especificados para ser usados con el concentrador pueden disminuir el rendimiento del mismo.

La terapia con oxígeno puede ser peligrosa en ciertas circunstancias. Invacare recomienda consultar al médico antes de usar esta máquina.

Este equipo está diseñado para usarse sólo como suplemento de oxígeno y no como un respirador artificial para pacientes terminales.

Evite crear chispas cerca del equipo médico de oxígeno. Ello incluye chispas de la electricidad estática causada por cualquier tipo de fricción.

CONCENTRACIÓN DE OXÍGENO

ADVERTENCIA

Procure no fijar el flujo por encima de la marca ROJA. Un flujo de oxígeno superior a 5 L/min. disminuirá la concentración de oxígeno.
