Standard Flow Nasal Cannula

Directions and safety information

IFU-OC04-01 Rev A

Intended use: For delivering oxygen through the nostrils.

Size: see the front of the package (Adult, Pediatric or Infant).

Directions

  1. Connect the tubing to the oxygen source and set the flow rate as directed by a healthcare provider, ensuring oxygen flows from both prongs.
  2. Position the slide under the chin, loop the harness over the ears, place the soft prongs into nostrils, and gently adjust the slide up until secure, not tight.
  3. Single patient use: discard after use by one person.

Warnings

  • Oxygen makes fire burn faster. No smoking, vaping, open flames or sparks near oxygen.
  • Keep oil, grease, aerosol sprays and petroleum products away from the nasal cannula and face.
  • Do not sterilize or clean with solutions. Replace if damaged.
  • Tubing can be a strangulation hazard. Keep out of reach of children; supervise infants and children using oxygen. For infants and children, a caregiver should fit and monitor the nasal cannula.

More safety tips

  • Keep away from open flames and heat sources.
  • Route tubing to help prevent tripping and tangling.
  • Do not place tubing under bedding, cushions or furniture where it can be pinched.
  • A swivel connector (sold separately) can help reduce tangling with longer tubing.
  • Check the nasal cannula and tubing before each use. Replace if cracked, stiff, discolored or damaged, or as directed by the oxygen supplier.
  • Follow the instructions from the healthcare provider and oxygen supplier.
  • (Optional) Keep spare supplies on hand.

Storage
