3.1. WARNINGS OVERVIEW

1. The device must be used in the carry bag to provide protection from liquid intrusion from

rain and/or spills.

2. There is a risk of ﬁ re associated with oxygen equipment and therapy. Do not use near

sparks or open ﬂ ames.

3. The pulse settings of Zen-O™ Portable Oxygen Concentrator RS-00500/RS-00500C

might not correspond with continuous ﬂ ow oxygen.

4. The settings of other models or brands of portable oxygen concentrators do

not correspond with the settings of Zen-O™ Portable Oxygen Concentrator

RS-00500/RS-00500C.

5. Wind or strong drafts can adversely a ect accurate delivery of oxygen therapy.

6. Geriatrics or any other patient unable to communicate discomfort can require additional

monitoring to avoid harm.

7. Smoking (including e-cigarettes) during oxygen therapy is dangerous and is likely to re-

sult in facial burns, serious injury or death of the patient and others from ﬁ re. Do not allow

smoking or open ﬂ ames within the same room as the portable oxygen concentrator or

any oxygen carrying accessories. If you smoke, you must always turn the oxygen con-

centrator o , remove the cannula and leave the room where either the cannula or the

concentrator is located. If unable to leave the room, you must wait 10 minutes after the

ﬂ ow of oxygen has been stopped.

8. Use only water based lotions that are oxygen compatible, before and during oxygen

therapy. Never use petroleum or oil based lotions or salves when operating the device
