dual Flow and Pediatric/Low Flow options
The following information will explain the 8 liter dual flow and pediatric/low flow options for the NewLife ®
Intensity Oxygen Concentrator.
dual Flow application
The NewLife ® Intensity unit’s 8-liter dual flow option allows a single concentrator to meet the high
flow requirements of a 8 lpm patient or the needs of two patients, in any combination of flows up
to 8 lpm (Figure I.3). Excellent for use in the home, extended care facility, hospital or physician’s
waiting room.
Pediatric/Low Flow application
The pediatric flowmeter (available for use with the dual flow NewLife ® Intensity unit) meets low flow
requirements up to 2 lpm in 1/8 liter (125 ccm) increments.
setting the Pediatric Flowmeter
When using a pediatric flowmeter, the unit will not reach concentration at the pediatric setting (less than
2 lpm) until a portion of the oxygen is bled off 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.
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.
