Filters
Air enters the NewLife unit through an air intake
gross particle filter located on the back off the
oxygen concentrator. This filter removes dust
particles and other large particles from the air.
Before you operate the NewLife unit, make sure
this filter is clean and positioned correctly.
The supplemental oxygen produced by the NewLife
unit receives additional filtration from a product
filter (for particle size 10 micron or greater) located
within the oxygen concentrator. Your equipment
Provider performs maintenance on the product filter
in addition to other maintenance on the unit.
Operating Without Humidifier
1. If your physician did not prescribe a humidifier,
connect the oxygen tubing directly to the
unit's oxygen outlet. A separate outlet fitting is
supplied for this type of connection.

Operating With Humidifier
Following these steps if your physician prescribed
an oxygen humidifier as part of your therapy:
1. Remove or unscrew the reservoir bottle from the
humidifier (If you have a pre-filled unit do not
perform this step. Proceed directly to step 4.)
2. Fill the reservoir with cool or cold water
(distilled water is preferred) to the fill line
indicated on the bottle. DO NOT OVERFILL.
3. Screw the reservoir bottle back together.
4. On the top of the humidifier, turn the thread
nut counterclockwise while you connect the
humidifier to the oxygen outlet, and tighten
securely (Figure 6).
5. Connect oxygen tubing from the nasal cannula,
face mask, or other accessories to the humidifier
outlet fitting.
