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

leaks.

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.
