information about the VisionAire™ Oxygen Concentrator.
This device supplies high-concentration oxygen that promotes

using this oxygen concentrator may require additional
monitoring. Patients with hearing and/or sight impairments
may need assistance with monitoring the alarms.

Do not leave a nasal cannula under bed coverings or chair
cushions. If the unit is turned on but not in use, the oxygen will
make the material flammable. Set the I/0 power switch to the 0
(off) position when the VisionAire unit is not in use.
Do not use extension cords with this unit or connect too many
plugs into the same electrical outlet. This can result in an
overload to the electrical panel causing the breaker/fuse to
activate.
Use only voltage specified on back panel label.
Do not use your oxygen concentrator in the presence of
flammable gases. This can result in rapid burning causing
property damage, bodily injuries or death.
Care should be taken to prevent unit from getting wet or
allowing water to enter the unit. This can cause the unit to
malfunction or shut down, and cause an increased risk for
electrical shock or burns.
Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before
you clean the unit to prevent accidental electrical shock
hazards. Only your Equipment Provider or a qualified
service technician should remove the covers or service
the unit.
Do not use liquid directly on the unit. A list of undesirable
chemical agents includes but is not limited to the following:
alcohol and alcohol-based products, concentrated chlorine-
based products (ethylene chloride), and oil-based products
(Pine-Sol®, Lestoil®). These are NOT to be used to clean the
