2.3 Radio Frequency Interference

WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
To reduce the risk of injury or product damage from
interference with wireless equipment:
– Keep concentrator at least 9.8 ft (3.0 m) away from
wireless communication equipment such as wireless
home network devices, mobile phones, cordless
phones and base stations, walkie-talkies, etc.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with EMC limits
specified by IEC/EN 60601-1-2. These limits are designed to provide
a reasonable protection against electromagnetic interference in a
typical medical installation.
Other devices may experience interference from even the low levels
of electromagnetic emissions permitted by the above standards.
To determine if the emissions from the concentrator are causing
the interference, turn the concentrator Off. If the interference
with the other device(s) stops, then the concentrator is causing the
interference. In such rare cases, interference may be reduced or
corrected by one of the following measures:
• Reposition, relocate, or increase the separation between the
equipment.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the other device(s) is connected.

4.1 Optional Accessories
There are many different types of humidifiers, oxygen tubing, cannulas
and masks that can be used with this device. You should contact your
local home care provider for recommendations on which of these
devices will be best for you. They should also give you advice on the
proper usage, maintenance, and cleaning.
The supply accessories (nasal cannula, mask, tubing, humidifier, etc.)
used to deliver oxygen to the patient need to include a means to
reduce the propagation of fire in the accessories for the safety of the
patient and others. If a commercially available, fire-activated flow
stop device is used in the accessories setup, it should be placed as
close to the patient as possible.
