Event or Problem Description
Devilbiss healthcare was notified of an incident involving an oxygen concentrator by a third-party service center, who reported the device had evidence of melting to the front cover.There was no report or evidence of illness, serious injury or medical treatment associated with the complaint.The device was returned for evaluation.Upon evaluation, the thermal damage profile exhibited to the exterior of the device and the lack of damage to any of the internal oxygen concentrator components, it can be concluded that the thermal event did not initiate from the oxygen concentrator or propagate through the unit by way of the oxygen gas path.Since the damage was concentrated to the front of the unit, at the humidifier recess cavity, it is believed that the fire originated from an external source and traveled to the outlet port of the unit via the cannula tubing, which also caused the damage at the bottom of the humidifier recess.This suggests that the ignition occurred at the cannula, which further suggests that the patient may have been smoking.The metal outlet fitting is designed to prevent fire ingress to the device.The metal outlet fitting acts as a fire break, designed to prevent fire from entering the unit.The device contains several warnings against smoking during use, both on the product itself and in instructions for use.The on-product warnings include a large, clear "no smoking" icon, and a clear "no open flame" icon as well.The instructions for use warn against smoking during use in several places, in several languages, including the following verbiage: "oxygen causes rapid burning.Do not smoke while your oxygen concentrator is operating, or when you are near a person utilizing oxygen therapy.Smoking during oxygen therapy is dangerous and is likely to result in facial burns or death.Do not allow smoking within the same room where the oxygen concentrator or any oxygen carrying accessories are located.If you intend to smoke, you must always turn the oxygen concentrator off, remove the cannula and leave the room where either the cannula or mask or the oxygen concentrator is located.If unable to leave the room, you must wait 10 minutes after you have turned off the oxygen concentrator before smoking.Oxygen makes it easier for a fire to start and spread.Do not leave the nasal cannula or mask on bed coverings or chair cushions if the oxygen concentrator is turned on but not in use.The oxygen will make the materials flammable.Turn the oxygen concentrator off when not in use to prevent oxygen enrichment.Keep the oxygen concentrator and cannula at least 2 m (6.5 feet) from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of flame.Open flames during oxygen therapy are dangerous and are likely to result in fire or death.Do not allow open flames within 2 m (6.5 feet) of the oxygen concentrator or any oxygen carrying accessories.Drive devilbiss oxygen concentrators are equipped with a fire mitigating outlet fitting that prevents propagation of fire into the unit.".
