The LifeChoice has no end user repairable parts.
Intake Vent Cleaning: One vent located on each side of the LifeChoice POC. At least once a
week or anytime the gross mesh air filter intakes appear dirty, use a cotton swab
(Q-Tip® or similar)
to clean the mesh filter media in the intake vents on the front and back of the unit. Follow these steps
to properly clean the air intake filter:
Gently rub the cotton swab along the intake vents (front and back of unit) to clean and remove any
debris from the intake filter mesh. Do not poke or gouge the mesh filter; just gently rub the cotton
swab cleaner along the intake vent areas. The LifeChoice POC does not need to be removed from
the carry case to clean the air intake filter as described above.
Nasal Cannula Inspection: At least once a week, visually inspect the nasal cannula. Make sure
there are no kinks or obstructions. Replace as needed with a standard 7-foot
(2-meter) single lumen
type cannula from your local medical equipment supplier.
Reserve Oxygen Supply: Your equipment provider should provide or suggest an alternative source
of supplemental oxygen therapy in case there is a mechanical failure or power outage.
