Safety Tips for Using Canned Oxygen

  • Use in Well-Ventilated Areas:
    While canned oxygen is safe, it’s always best to use it in open air or rooms with proper ventilation.
  • Avoid Heat and Flames:
    Oxygen supports combustion. Keep your canister away from open flames, cigarettes, stoves, or high heat environments.
  • Store Upright in a Cool Place:
    For best performance, store your oxygen can in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.
  • One Person, One Can:
    Sharing your can with others increases the chance of contamination. Each can is designed for individual use.
  • Don’t Overuse:
    Most people feel benefits after just 1–3 inhalations. There’s no need to use excessively — let your body guide you.
  • Check with Your Doctor if You Have a Medical Condition:
    While supplemental oxygen is safe for most people, consult your physician if you have COPD, asthma, or other chronic respiratory conditions.
