II. STARTING UP / INSTALLATION

II. 1. Use in direct oxygen therapy.

a - Ensure that the switch (1) is in the 0 position.

b - If used with a humidier:

Unscrew the ask and ll it with water up to the line (see the humidier

instructions). Then screw the humidier ask onto its lid until there are

no leaks from it.

c - Connect the oxygen administration tube to the humidier outlet

nozzle or connect the administration nasal cannulas onto the

concentrator. The tube between the patient and the NewLife

Intensity should be less than 60 metres long, in order

to ensure that the oxygen ow rate remains satisfactory.

d - Ensure that all of the parts are connected correctly so as to avoid

leaks.

e - Plug the power cable into a mains socket.

f - Press the switch to the start position - I . An alarm operating test

is carried out automatically when the machine is switched on (this

test lasts about 5 seconds).

g - Turn the ow adjustment knob (6) to the prescribed value.

The prescribed valve line should appear to split the middle of the

owmeter ball.

h - Check that the oxygen ows out of the administration device

(nasal cannulas or other) by placing the orice(s) on the surface of a

glass of water. The ow should disturb the surface of the water.

i - Adjust the nasal cannulas or mask to suit your face.

Remark: the optimal oxygen concentration is obtained about ten minutes after the device is

switched on (90 % of the concentration is obtained after around 5 minutes).

At the end of the treatment, press the push button (1) to place it in the 0 position to stop the device.

The oxygen enriched air ow continues for approximately 1 minute after the device is stopped.
