MUST be followed.
CAUTION
“Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale or rental by
or on order of a physician, or any other practitioner licensed
by the law of the State in which he/she practices to use or

WARNING
SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains
important information for the safe operation and use of
this product. DO NOT use this product or any available
optional equipment without first completely reading and
understanding these instructions and any additional
instructional material such as Owner’s Manuals, Service
Manuals or Instruction Sheets supplied with this product
or optional equipment. If you are unable to understand
the Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a
healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel
before attempting to use this equipment - otherwise,
injury or damage may occur.
Risk of electric shock. DO NOT disassemble. Refer servicing
to qualified service personnel.
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.
Part No 1118353 5 Platinum™Series
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
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
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 technician for examination
and repair.
Keep the cord away from heated or hot surfaces.
DO NOT move or relocate concentrator by pulling on the
cord.
NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.
NEVER block the air openings of the product or place it on a
soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air opening
may be blocked. Keep the openings free from lint, hair and the
like. Fill humidifier with water to the level shown by the
manufacturer. DO NOT overfill.
Keep unit at least three (3) inches away from walls, draperies,
furniture, and the like.
Invacare recommends that Crush-Proof oxygen tubing be
used with this product and not exceed 50 ft. (15.2m) in length.
Recommended use for Platinum 10 is up to 25 ft. in length of
high flow tubing.
