Safety Instructions:

• Do not allow the patient or anyone around them to smoke. This includes the use of electronic cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and cigarettes. Although oxygen is a non-flammable gas, it does support combustion.
• Keep oxygen equipment at least 6 feet away from flames or any heat source.
• Do not use petroleum-based products or oil-based creams and lotions in or around the patient's nose.
• Do not use flammable products such as aerosol sprays or cleaning products near the oxygen source.
• Avoid using electrical equipment that may cause a spark; for example, hair dryers electric razors, and electric toothbrushes.
• Follow physician's prescription for oxygen use.
• The total length of the nasal oxygen cannula and oxygen tubing should not exceed 57 feet to ensure there is enough pressure to deliver the prescribed oxygen flow rate.
• Do not kink, bend or tie the oxygen tubing.
• Do not place anything on top of the nasal cannula and oxygen tubing that could obstruct flow.
• Keep excess tubing loosely coiled and out of the way to prevent tripping on oxygen tubing.
• Do not place oxygen tubing or nasal cannula under blankets, bedsheets, etc.
• Do not let children play with oxygen equipment.
• Use of a swivel connector can help prevent tubing from twisting.
