DANGER
To reduce the risk of fire, burns, or injury to persons:
Oxygen, though non-flammable, vigorously supports and accelerates burning of any flammable
material. If you know or suspect oxygen has escaped other than through normal operation, open doors
and windows to ventilate the area.
1. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE USING YOUR DEVILBISS OXYGEN EQUIPMENT. Keep matches, cigarettes,
burning tobacco, or candles away from the area where the system is being stored or operated.
2. Avoid creation of any spark near oxygen equipment. This includes sparks from static electricity created
by any type of friction.
3. Keep the equipment at least seven feet away from radios, television sets, window air conditioners, fans,
electric razors, hair dryers, and all other electrical appliances.
4. Keep the equipment away from heat sources, electric or gas heaters of any kind, fireplaces, or stoves.
5. Keep all flammable materials or petroleum-based products away from the equipment.
6. Never attempt to lubricate the equipment.
7. Never use aerosol sprays near the equipment.
To prevent high concentrations of oxygen:
1. Keep the equipment in a well-ventilated area.
2. Do not carry equipment under a coat or any form of clothing.
3. Turn off oxygen supply by closing the cylinder valve when not in use.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury:
1. Keep all units away from children. Do not allow unauthorized or untrained individuals to operate the
equipment. Never tamper with or try to repair the equipment yourself. If you have any questions or suspect
your equipment is not operating properly, contact your oxygen provider.
2. Do not immerse in liquids or subject device to harsh conditions.
3. Do not use in temperatures greater than 104°F (40°C) or below 41°F (5°C).
4. Do not use with other equipment (i.e. humidifier, nebulizer, etc.) when in PulseDose delivery mode.
PHYSICIAN'S NOTES
1. Do not use with patients who breathe below 6 Breaths Per Minute (BPM) or above 40 BPM.
2. Do not use with patients who consistently fail to trigger equipment (i.e. mouth breathing with closed soft
pallets).
3. Verify patient is getting adequate Pa02 or Sa02 levels in PulseDose delivery.
4. Use only standard nasal cannula with PulseDose delivery. Do not use pediatric (low-flow) nasal cannula
or mask with PulseDose delivery.
5. A mask or any nasal cannula can be used with continuous flow delivery.
6. The standard device contains a preset 2 LPM continuous flow backup. The service manual describes how
to change the cannula fitting to obtain a 3, 4, 5 or 6 LPM continuous flow backup.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The DeVilbiss PD1000 Compact Conserving Device is intended as a delivery device for medical-grade oxygen
from high-pressure oxygen cylinders. This is an ambulatory device, which allows patients to ambulate longer
than they would with a continuous flow regulator on the same cylinder.
