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
ELITE
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
ELITE
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

and

this
entire
manual
are
author
ised
to
use
the
NEWLIFE
ELITE
. The
NEWLIFE
ELITE
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 surround-
ing environment, in order that the alarm may be heard.
