Setting the Pediatric Flowmeter

When using the pediatric flowmeter, the unit will not reach proper concentration at the pediatric setting (less than 2 lpm) until
you bleed off a portion of the oxygen by opening the primary flowmeter (on the left side of the unit). Follow the procedure
below when using the pediatric flowmeter.

1.

Follow the start-up instructions 1-7 as outlined on page 9 & 10.

2.

Set the pediatric flowmeter to the prescribed flow.

3.

Set the primary flowmeter to 2 lpm to bleed off excess product, and allow the unit to achieve maximum concentration.

The NewLife Elite is appropriate for usage by two patients,
provided the combined flow is a minimum of 2 lpm and does
not exceed the maximum capacity of the concentrator.










The NewLife Elite Oxygen Concentrator must be operated
for at least five minutes at 2 lpm before using the unit.
