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 humidifier:
Unscrew the flask and fill it with water up to the line (see the humidifier
instructions). Then screw the humidifier flask onto its lid until there are
no leaks from it.
c - Connect the oxygen administration tube to the humidifier 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 flow 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 flow adjustment knob (6) to the prescribed value.
The prescribed valve line should appear to split the middle of the
flowmeter ball.
h - Check that the oxygen flows out of the administration device
(nasal cannulas or other) by placing the orifice(s) on the surface of a
glass of water. The flow 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 flow continues for approximately 1 minute after the device is stopped.
