4.0 Provider Instructions
4.1 Instructions
To ensure that the unit’s output of oxygen is within specification, you must perform a test
of the oxygen concentration. Test the unit upon delivery to a patient and at periodic
intervals. Equipment Providers need to establish and implement a protocol to check
oxygen concentration. (Refer to Section 2.4.)
AirSep does not require preventative maintenance on the concentrator. You do not need to
perform any maintenance as long as the NewLife Intensity 10 unit remains within
specifications at the desired flow rate.
4.1.1 Air Intake Gross Particle Filter/GPF
The external air intake gross particle filter is located on the back of the unit. You
can easily remove it by hand. Instruct the patient to clean this filter weekly. (Refer
to Section 3.2.1.)
4.1.2 Felt Filter Replacement
The internal felt filter requires changing every 5,000 hours of use. See below on
instructions for changing the filter:
1. Set the unit’s l /0 power switch to the “0” position, and disconnect the
power cord.
2. Remove right side panel to locate the felt intake filter.
3. Remove filter in the unit, and replace with a new filter.
4. Remove left side panel and record information about the filter
replacement on the History Record Label.
5. Reconnect both side panels.
4.1.3 Product Filter
The product filter, which may be located within the unit’s product tank, is designed
to last for the life of the unit. Whether inside the product tank or an external
component to this tank, there is no required or scheduled replacement needed for
this part.
4.1.4 Battery Replacement
Each time the NewLife Intensity 10 unit is turned on, the alarm must sound for
approximately five seconds to indicate a good battery. An alarm that does anything
other than sound for five seconds indicates a weak battery and requires
replacement.
To replace the battery, take the following steps:
1. Set the unit’s l /0 power switch to the “0” position, and disconnect the power
cord.
2. Remove the left side panel.
3. Lift the battery out of the battery holder.
4. Install the new battery, maintaining proper polarity.
5. Set the
l /0 power switch to the “ l ” position to test the alarm.
6. Record the battery replacement information on the History Record Label.
7. Reconnect the side panel.
