• Oxygen is not a flammable gas, but it accelerates the combustion of materials. To avoid all risks
of fire, the NewLife ® Intensity should be kept away from all flames, incandescent sources and
sources of heat (cigarettes), as well as any combustible products such as oil, grease, solvents,
aerosols, etc.
• Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.
• Avoid letting oxygen accumulate on an upholstered seat or other fabrics. In the event the
concentrator is operating while not supplying oxygen to a patient, position it so that the gas flow is
diluted in the ambient air.
• Place the device in a ventilated area free from smoke and atmospheric pollution, at least
0.5 meters from any other object.

• Use the cable provided, and check that the electrical characteristics of the mains socket used
match those indicated on the manufacturer’s plate on the rear panel of the machine.
• We recommend avoiding the use of extension cables or even adapters, as they are sources of
sparks and therefore of fire.
• The NewLife ® Intensity must only be used for oxygen therapy and only on medical
prescription. The indicated daily duration and flow must be followed, otherwise this may present a
risk to the health of the patient.
• Do not use in a specifically magnetic environment (MRI, etc.).
This user’s manual reflects the instruction and safety guidelines for the “user” of the equipment,
which AirSep acknowledges may be referred to as “patient,” “client,” or some other related term
throughout various parts of the world.
only persons who have read and understood this entire manual are
authorised to use the NewLife ® Intensity. The NewLife ® Intensity has an audible
alarm intended to warn the user of problems. The maximum distance that the user can move away
from it must, therefore, be determined to suit the surrounding environment, in order that the alarm
may be heard.
