Use only spare parts recommended by Precision Medical to ensure proper function and to avoid the risk of fire and burns.

Use of this device at an altitude above or below sea level to 14,000 ft (4267 m) or outside a temperature of 41°F to 104°F (5°C to 40°C) or a relative humidity above 95% Non-Condensing is expected to adversely affect the flowrate and the percentage of oxygen and consequently the quality of the therapy.

Geriatric, pediatric or any other patient unable to communicate discomfort can require additional monitoring and or a distributed alarm system to convey the information about the discomfort and or the medical urgency to the responsible care giver to avoid harm.

Smoking during oxygen therapy is dangerous and is likely to result in facial burns or death. Do not allow smoking within the same room where the oxygen concentrator or any oxygen carrying accessories are located. If you intend to smoke, you must always turn the oxygen concentrator off, remove the cannula and leave the room where the oxygen concentrator is located. If unable to leave the room, you must wait 10 minutes after you have turned the oxygen concentrator off before smoking.

Open flames during oxygen therapy are dangerous and is likely to result in fire or death. Do not allow open flames within 2 m of the oxygen concentrator or any oxygen carrying accessories.

To ensure receiving the therapeutic amount of oxygen delivery according to your medical condition, the Oxygen Concentrator must be used with the specific combination of parts and accessories that are in line with the specification of the concentrator manufacturer and that were used while your settings were determined.

To ensure receiving the therapeutic amount of oxygen delivery according to your medical condition, the Oxygen Concentrator must be used only after one or more settings have been individually determined or prescribed for you at your specific activity levels by your healthcare provider.

If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical emergency while undergoing oxygen therapy, seek medical assistance immediately to avoid harm.

There is a risk of fire associated with oxygen enrichment during oxygen therapy. Do not use the oxygen concentrator or accessories near sparks or open flames.

⚠ CAUTION
The POC is designed to be used indoors or outdoors, in the outdoors environment the POC should be used in a “dry location” with Battery only.

The proper placement and positioning of the prongs of the nasal cannula in the nose is critical to the amount of oxygen delivered to the respiratory system of the patient.

DO NOT place any liquids on or near the POC. If any liquid gets on the POC, immediately turn “OFF” the power switch and unplug from the electrical outlet.
DO NOT use while sleeping.
