GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES

USE OF OXYGEN
• Oxygen is not a flammable gas, but it accelerates the combustion of materials.
To avoid all risks of fire, the QUIETLIFE 5 should be kept away from all flames,
incandescent sources and sources of heat (cigarettes), as well as any combus-
tible products such as oil, grease, solvents, aerosols, etc.
• Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.
• Avoid letting oxygen accumulate on an upholstered seat or other fabrics. In the
event the concentrator is operating while not supplying oxygen to a patient,
position it so that the gas flow is diluted in the ambient air.
• Place the device in a ventilated area free from smoke and atmospheric pollu-
tion, at least 0.5 meters from any other object.
USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE DEVICE
• Use the cable provided, and check that the electrical characteristics of the
mains socket used match those indicated on the manufacturer's plate on the rear
panel of the machine.
• We recommend avoiding the use of extension cables or even adapters, as they
are sources of sparks and therefore of fire.
• The QUIETLIFE 5 must only be used for oxygen therapy and only on medical
prescription. The indicated daily duration and flow must be followed, otherwise
this may present a risk to the health of the patient.
• Do not use in a specifically magnetic environment (MRI,
etc.).
Only persons who have read and understood this entire manual are
authorised to use the QUIETLIFE 5. The QUIETLIFE 5 has an audible alarm
intended to warn the user of problems. The maximum distance that the user can
move away from it must therefore be determined to suit the surrounding environ-
ment, in order that the alarm may be heard.
Conformity with EN 60-601 (§ 6.8.2 b):
