GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES

USE OF OXYGEN

• Oxygen is not a flammable gas, but it accelerates the combustion of materials. To avoid all risks of fire, the NewLife

®

Intensity 10 should be kept away from all flames, incandescent sources and sources of heat (cigarettes), as well as any combustible products such as oil, grease, solvents, aerosols, etc.

• Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.

• Avoid letting oxygen accumulate on an upholstered seat or other fabrics. In the event the concentrator is operating while not supplying oxygen to a patient, position it so that the gas flow is diluted in the ambient air.

• Place the device in a ventilated area free from smoke and atmospheric pollution, at least

0.5 meters from any other object.

USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE DEVICE

• Use the cable provided, and check that the electrical characteristics of the mains socket used match those indicated on the manufacturer’s plate on the rear panel of the machine.

• We recommend avoiding the use of extension cables or even adapters, as they are sources of sparks and therefore of fire.

• The NewLife

®

Intensity 10 must only be used for oxygen therapy and only on medical prescription. The indicated daily duration and flow must be followed, otherwise this may present a risk to the health of the patient.

• Do not use in a specifically magnetic environment (MRI, etc.).

This user’s manual reflects the instruction and safety guidelines for the “user” of the equipment, which AirSep acknowledges may be referred to as “patient,” “client,” or some other related term throughout various parts of the world.

Only persons who have read and understood this entire manual are authorised to use the NewLife

®

Intensity 10. The NewLife

®

Intensity 10 has an audible alarm intended to warn the user of problems. The maximum distance that the user can move away from it must, therefore, be determined to suit the surrounding environment, in order that the alarm may be heard.

Conformity with EN 60-601 (§ 6.8.2 b):

“The manufacturer, assembler, installer or importer are not considered to be responsible themselves for the consequences on the safety, reliability and characteristics of a device unless:

IV. 3. Operating principle

The compressor sends filtered ambient air to a group of valves, which allows compressed air to pass to the column in production. The columns contain a molecular sieve, whose function is to adsorb the nitrogen and thus allow oxygen to pass. The oxygen-enriched air is then directed to a pressure reducing valve through the flow control valve to the oxygen outlet fitting.

During this time, the column which is being “regenerated” is connected to the ambient air and a current of oxygen enriched air is passed through it (from the column “in production”). In this way, when one column is in production, the other is in a nitrogen desorption or “regeneration” phase. The oxygen enriched air finally passes through a product filter situated prior to the oxygen therapy outlet.

IV. 5. Oxygen Monitor function (optional - mandating for Europe and certain other countries)

IV. 5. 1. Oxygen Monitor operating principle (oxygen concentration indication module)

The Oxygen Monitor is an electronic module capable of checking the effective oxygen concentration supplied by the NewLife

®

Intensity 10 concentrator.

The Oxygen Monitor detects any drop in the concentration below a pre-set level and activates an audible and visual alarm. A yellow LED indicates a concentration level of below 85 ± 3%.

When the LED is yellow for more than 15 minutes

(± 2 minutes), an intermittent audible alarm is tripped.

Note: when the NewLife

®

Intensity 10 is started, the Oxygen Monitor module operates as follows:

1) in addition to the normal NewLife

®

Intensity 10 test, the Oxygen Monitor yellow LED lights up.

2) in principle, the LED remains lit for a few minutes (10 minutes at maximum) until the concentration of the gas supplied reaches and exceeds 85 ± 3% O

2

.

3) The yellow LED is extinguished after this period, showing that the concentrator is operating satisfactorily.

IV. 5. 2. Maintenance of the Oxygen Monitor module:

- No special maintenance is required, The alarm trigger is factory pre-set to 85 ± 3%, and there is no need to alter the settings.
