IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES & PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! (Cont.)
Please remember that this is for your own safety!
• Keep all parts free of oil and grease. Hydrocarbon compounds such as oil, grease, petroleum-
based products, cleaning agents containing alcohol, hand cream or adhesive bandages can
cause explosive reactions if they come into contact with highly compressed oxygen. Please
wash and dry your hands properly prior to operating your oxygen equipment.
• Never use aerosol sprays near the oxygen equipment.
• Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixture.
• Keep your oxygen equipment at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any electrical appliance.
• Be sure to turn off the oxygen supply by closing the cylinder valve when not in use.
• Do not use cannula tubing that is longer than 7 ft. (2.13 m).
• Do not use a mask or pediatric or other low-flow cannula tubing when operating the unit.
• Do not use the EVOLUTIONTM conserver as a handle for carrying your oxygen cylinder.
CAUTION!
• To prevent the unit from overheating, do not place it near any heating devices and do not
expose it to direct sunlight. Do not expose the unit to extreme temperatures.
• Your EVOLUTIONTM conserver must not be immersed in liquid or cleaned with liquid agents.
Prevent water or other liquid substances from entering the unit.
• Protect your EVOLUTIONTM conserver from the cold and from continued exposure to water,
such as rain.
• Please observe the section “Hygienic Preparation” on page 16 in order to avoid infection or
bacterial contamination.

• Take care not to get entangled in the nasal cannula tube, which could impede movement and
lead to discomfort around the throat.

however, do not use a mobile phone in the immediate vicinity of the unit.
