The unit contains liquid oxygen which is
extremely cold, almost 300°F (-184°C).
Exposure to such a low temperature can
cause severe frostbite.
Liquid and gaseous oxygen, though
nonflammable, cause other materials to
burn faster than normal. This hazard,
along with the low temperature of liquid
oxygen, warrants certain safety precau-
tions.
4 - ENG PN MN234-C4 E | User Manual
Keep flammable materials away from
this equipment. Aerosol sprays, oils and
grease, including facial creams and pe-
troleum jelly, ignite easily and may burn
rapidly in the presence of oxygen.
Smoking while wearing an oxygen can-
nula can cause facial burns and possibly
result in death.
Removing the cannula and placing it
on clothing, bedding, sofas, or other
cushion material will cause a flash fire
when exposed to a cigarette, heat source,
spark or flame.
If you smoke please: (1) turn off the
portable, (2) take off the cannula, and
(3) leave the room where the device is
located.
In the event of an accidental tip-over,
immediately but cautiously return the
unit into an upright position if possible.
If any liquid oxygen is escaping, leave
the area immediately and call your
healthcare provider. Do not attempt
to move the unit or stop the liquid
oxygen from escaping.
Do not touch frosted parts of any unit.
Do not store or operate the portable
coupled to the Liberator.
Do not allow untrained personnel to
handle or operate this device.
Use of this device is prohibited on com-
mercial passenger and cargo air flights
