NewLife® Oxygen
Concentrator

This user manual will acquaint you with the
NewLife oxygen concentrator. Make sure you readand understand all the information contained in thismanual before you operate your unit. Should you
have any questions, your Equipment Provider will
be happy to answer them for you.

What is the Oxygen
Concentrator
The air we breathe contains approximately 21%
oxygen, 78% nitrogen, and 1% other gasses. In the
NewLife oxygen concentrator, room air is drawn
into the machine through the air intakes. It thenpasses through an adsorbent material called molecular sieve. This material separates the oxygen fromthe nitrogen and allows only the oxygen to passthrough. The result is a flow of high-concentration
oxygen delivered to the user.
Note: There is never a danger of depleting theoxygen in a room when you use your oxygen
concentrator unit.

Why Your Physician
Prescribed Oxygen
Many people suffer from a variety of heart, lung,and other respiratory diseases. A significant numberof these people can benefit from supplemental
oxygen therapy at home, when traveling, or while
participating in daily activities away from home.
Oxygen is a gas that makes up 21% of the room air
we breathe. Our bodies depend on a steady supply
to function properly. Your physician prescribed aflow or setting to address your particular respiratory
condition.
Although oxygen is a non-addictive drug, unauthorized oxygen therapy can be dangerous. You mustseek medical advice before you use this oxygen
concentrator. The Equipment Provider who supplies
your oxygen equipment will demonstrate how to set
the prescribed flow rate.

USE” SIGNS MUST BE PROMINENTLYDISPLAYED IN THE HOME, OR WHEREOXYGEN IS IN USE. USERS AND THEIRCAREGIVERS MUST BE INFORMEDABOUT THE DANGERS OF SMOKING IN
THE PRESENCE OF, OR WHILE USING,
MEDICAL OXYGEN.
WARNING: IN THE EVENT THERE IS
A SERIOUS INCIDENT OCCURRING
WITH THIS DEVICE, THE USER SHOULD
IMMEDIATELY REPORT THE INCIDENT
TO THE PROVIDER AND/OR THE
MANUFACTURER. A SERIOUS INCIDENTIS DEFINED AS AN INJURY, DEATH, OR

Operator Profile
Concentrators are intended to supply supplemental
oxygen to users suffering from discomfort due toailments which effect the efficiency of one’s lungs
to transfer oxygen in the air to their bloodstream.
Stationary oxygen concentrators (SOCs) do notstore or contain oxygen. They do not need to berefilled, and can operate at any location where AC
power source is available. Oxygen concentrator
use requires a physician’s prescription and is notintended for life support use.
Although oxygen therapy can be prescribed forusers of all ages, the typical oxygen therapy user
is older than 65 years of age and suffers from avariety of respiratory diseases, including Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD). Users
typically have good cognitive abilities and must
be able to communicate discomfort. If the user isunable to communicate discomfort, or unable toread and understand the concentrator labeling andinstructions for use, then use is recommended only
under the supervision of one who can. If any discomfort is felt while using the concentrator, users
are advised to contact their healthcare provider.
Users are also advised to have back-up oxygen
available (i.e. cylinder oxygen) in the event of apower outage or concentrator failure. There areno other unique skills or user abilities required forconcentrator use.

Unpacking Your NewLife
Verify that all of the components listed and shown
below are included in the package. If any items are
missing, contact your oxygen provider immediately.

1. After each treatment, separate the nebulizer andthe “T” piece or mouthpiece assembly.
2. Remove or unscrew the nebulizer cup, and rinse
each component thoroughly in warm water.
3. Once a day, clean all nebulizer parts (excluding
air supply tubing) with a mild detergent or soap
solution in warm water. Rinse thoroughly, andsoak all parts in a solution of one (1) part white
vinegar and three (3) parts water for 30 minutes
to disinfect.

Figure 6: Mouthpiece

2. Take a slow, deep breath, and pause at the end of
the inhalation for 1-2 seconds, then exhale slowly
and completely.
3. Repeat this procedure until the prescribedamount of medication nebulizes or the Prescribedamount of treatment time elapses (whicheveroccurs first).
4. If your physician or health care professional
instructed you to take short rest periods During
your treatment, make sure you turn the air valve
to the OFF position. This will conserve your
medication.
Note: Prolonged treatment time can indicate a defective nebulizer. Contact your Equipment Provider if thiscondition exists.

c)
As an alternative to FM modulation, 50% pulse modulation at 18 Hz may be used because while it does not represent actual modulation, it would be worst case.
The manufacturer should consider reducing the minimum separation distance, based on risk management,
and using higher immunity test levels that are appropriate for the reduced minimum separation distance.
Minimum separation distances for higher immunity test levels should be calculated using the following
equation:

Where P is the maximum power in W, d is the minimum distance in m, and E is the immunity test level inV/m.
If the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM complies with higher immunity test levels or this test, the 30
