Precautions for the use of household oxygen generators

1. Patients who purchase an oxygen generator should read the instructions carefully before using it.
2. Avoid open flames when using the oxygen generator to avoid fire.
3. The oxygen generator should be placed stably, otherwise it will increase the noise of the oxygen generator.
4. The water level in the humidification bottle should not be too high (the water level should be half of the bottle body), otherwise the water in the bottle will easily escape or enter the oxygen suction tube.
5. When the oxygen generator is not in use for a long time, please cut off the power, pour out the water in the humidification bottle, wipe the surface of the oxygen generator clean, cover it with a plastic cover, and store it in a dry place without sunlight.
6. When the oxygen generator is working, do not place the float of the flowmeter on the zero position.
7. Pay special attention when filling the oxygen bag with the oxygen generator. After the oxygen bag is filled, you must first unplug the oxygen bag and intubate, and then turn off the switch of the oxygen generator, otherwise it will easily cause the negative pressure of the water in the humidification bottle to suck back Enter the oxygen generator, causing the oxygen generator to malfunction.
8. During transportation and storage, it is strictly forbidden to place horizontally, upside down, wet or direct sunlight!

Home oxygen therapy generally uses oxygen cylinders and oxygen concentrators, which have a significant effect on improving the health of patients, improving their quality of life and exercise endurance.
