4.0 Equipment Provider Maintenance
4.1 Routine Maintenance
The LifeStyle unit includes two filters and a compressor that require scheduled mainte-
nance or replacement.
To ensure that the output of oxygen is within specification, you must perform a test of
oxygen concentration. (Refer to Section 2.4, “Oxygen Concentration Test and Specifi-
cation,” of this manual.) Test the unit upon delivery to a patient and at periodic inter-
vals. Equipment Providers, based on their expertise and documentation, may establish
and implement their own protocol to check oxygen concentration The interval estab-
lished may be longer or shorter than 90 days, AirSep’s default time period for providers
who do not choose to establish their own protocol.
4.1.1 Air Intake / Gross Particle Filter
The external air intake gross particle filter is located under the panel covering
the LifeStyle controls. You can easily remove it by hand. Instruct the patient
to clean this filter weekly. (Refer to Section 3.2.1, “Cleaning the Air Intake /
Gross Particle Filter,” of this manual.)
NOTE
The filter may require more frequent cleaning
if the LifeStyle unit operates in a harsh
environment — a house heated by wood,
kerosene, or oil, or one with excessive cooking
or cigarette smoke.
