XI. Cleaning, Care, and Proper Maintenance
XI. 1. Compressor
The compressor must be replaced after approximately 3,000 hours of use.
When you remove the air intake/gross particle filter for cleaning, take note of
the reading on the hour meter
positioned beneath this filter.
(See Figure 8.) When the
reading approaches 3,000
hours, contact your Equipment
Provider for replacement of the
compressor. At this time, the
Equipment Provider should
also replace the product filter
and felt filter.
XI. 2. Cabinet
• Turn off the LifeStyle unit, and disconnect the power cord from the power
supply before you clean the cabinet.
• Keep the LifeStyle unit clean and free from moisture and dust. Clean the
plastic housing periodically by wiping with a lint-free cloth or with a mild
household cleaner applied with a damp cloth or sponge. Pay special attention
to the oxygen outlet for the cannula connection to make sure it remains free of
dust, water, and particles.
• Do not use liquid directly on the LifeStyle unit to clean it. A list of undesirable
chemical agents includes, but is not limited to, the following, according to the
plastic manufacturer: alcohol and alcohol-based products (isopropyl alcohol),
concentrated chlorine-based products (ethylene chloride), and oil-based
products. These are NOT to be used to clean the plastic housing on LifeStyle.
These chemicals and the cleaners that contain them will crystallize the plastic
and break down the plastic’s molecular properties.
• Replace the disposable cannula periodically following normal usage.
Additional supplies are available from your Equipment Provider.
• To prevent a voided AirSep warranty, follow all manufacturer’s instructions.
XI. 3. Filters
Air Intake/Gross Particle Filter
At least one time each week, wash the air intake/gross particle filter, located
under the panel covering theLifeStyle unit’s controls. (See Figure 9.) Your
Equipment Provider may advise you to clean it more often, depending upon
your operating conditions. Follow these steps to properly clean the air intake/
gross particle filter:
1. Remove the filter, and wash it in a warm solution of soap and water.
2. Rinse the filter thoroughly, and remove excess water with a soft, adsorbent
towel. Ensure that the filter is dry before replacing it.
3. Replace the dry filter.
