Dual Flow and Pediatric/Low Flow Options
The following information will explain the 8 liter dual ow and pediatric/low ow options for the NewLife
®
Intensity Oxygen Concentrator.
Dual Flow Application
The NewLife
®
Intensity unit’s 8-liter dual ow option allows a single concentrator to meet the high
ow requirements of a 8 lpm patient or the needs of two patients, in any combination of ows up
to 8 lpm (Figure I.3). Excellent for use in the home, extended care facility, hospital or physician’s
waiting room.
Pediatric/Low Flow Application
The pediatric owmeter (available for use with the dual ow NewLife
®
Intensity unit) meets low ow
requirements up to 2 lpm in 1/8 liter (125 ccm) increments.
Setting the Pediatric Flowmeter
When using a pediatric owmeter, the unit will not reach concentration at the pediatric setting (less than
2 lpm) until a portion of the oxygen is bled off by opening the primary owmeter (on the left side of the unit).
Follow the procedure below when using the pediatric owmeter.
1. Follow the start-up instructions.
2. Set the pediatric owmeter to the prescribed ow.
3. Set the primary owmeter to 2 lpm to bleed off excess product, and allow the unit to
achieve maximum concentration.
