This unit is not to be used for life support. Geriatric, pediatric, or any other patient unable to

communicate discomfort or hear or see the alarms while using this concentrator may require additional

monitoring.Aphysician should be consulted immediately if the patient is experiencing any signs of

patient discomfort.

This device supplies high-purity oxygen that promotes rapid burning. Do not allow smoking or

open flames within five feet of (1) this device, or (2) any oxygen-carrying accessory. Use no oil,

grease, or petroleum-based products on or near LifeStyle. Disconnect the power cord from the

electrical outlet before you clean or service the unit.

AC adapter.

LIFESTYLE PORTABLE OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR

Why Your Physician Prescribed Oxygen

Many people suffer from a variety of heart, lung, and other respiratory diseases. Asignificant number of these patients

can benefit from supplemental oxygen therapy at home, when traveling, or while participating in daily activities away

from home.

Oxygen is a gas that makes up 21% of the room air we breathe. Our bodies depend on a steady supply to function

properly. Your physician has prescribed supplemental oxygen therapy because your body is not able to get enough

oxygen from room air. Oxygen is a non-addictive drug, and your physician prescribed a flow sufficient to improve your

condition.

Please keep in mind that unauthorized oxygen therapy can be dangerous. You must seek medical advice before you

use this oxygen concentrator. The Equipment Provider who supplies your oxygen equipment will demonstrate how to

set the prescribed flow rate.

It is very important to select the prescribed level of oxygen flow. Do not increase or decrease the flow

until you first consult your physician.

Use the LifeStyle Portable Oxygen Concentrator during sleep only under the recommendation of a

qualified clinician.

What Is the LifeStyle Portable Oxygen Concentrator?

Oxygen concentrators were introduced in the mid-1970s and have become the most convenient, reliable source of

supplemental oxygen available today. Oxygen concentrators are the cost-effective, efficient, and safe alternative to

using high-pressure oxygen cylinders or liquid oxygen. An oxygen concentrator produces all the oxygen you need

with no cylinder or bottle deliveries required.

The air we breathe contains approximately 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen, and 1% other gases. In the LifeStyle unit,

room air passes through a regenerative, adsorbent material called “molecular sieve.” This material separates the

oxygen from the nitrogen. The result is a flow of high-purity oxygen delivered to the patient.

The size and weight of traditional oxygen concentrators have limited their portability. A person who needs oxygen

away from home or a hospital has used high-pressure oxygen cylinders and/or liquid oxygen. Oxygen conserving

devices (OCDs) have been used to increase the length of time that cylinders last. OCDs deliver oxygen only at the

beginning of inhalation, when oxygen is most beneficial. This time period represents one-third of the breathing cycle.

Using this technique, OCDs conserve oxygen.

LifeStyle uses traditional oxygen concentration technology and combines it with oxygen conserving technology. This

combination enables a significant reduction in the size of the oxygen concentrator and makes LifeStyle truly portable.

A typical oxygen concentrator weighs more than 50 pounds. In contrast, your LifeStyle concentrator weighs less than

10 lbs (4.5 kg).

LIFESTYLE PORTABLE OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR

LifeStyle delivers a flow of oxygen up to an equivalent flow of 5 lpm (liters per minute) in this lightweight package that

can be easily carried and used away from home. While LifeStyle is operating, it produces oxygen continuously; but

oxygen is delivered only during the beginning of inhalation, when it is most beneficial.

There are three ways to supply power to the LifeStyle unit:

1. From a power supply that connects to the LifeStyle unit and to a 100-250 volt, 50/60 Hz, AC outlet. The

power supply also recharges the battery.

2. From an automobile’s 12-volt DC auto adapter outlet. A cord with the correct receptacle connects to the

LifeStyle unit and to the DC auto adapter outlet to supply continuous power and recharge the battery. (Many

boats also have a 12-volt DC auto adapter outlet.)

3. From an internal battery pack. A single, rechargeable battery pack can supply power for up to 50 minutes.

Important Safety Rules

Carefully review and familiarize yourself with the following important safety information about the portable LifeStyle

Oxygen Concentrator.

In the event of an alarm or if you are experiencing any signs of discomfort, consult your Equipment

Provider and/or your physician immediately.

This unit is not to be used for life support. Geriatric, pediatric, or any other patients unable to communicate

discomfort while using this machine may require additional monitoring. Patients with hearing and/or

sight impairment(s) need assistance with monitoring alarms.

When LifeStyle is in an automobile, disconnect it from the DC auto adapter outlet when the automobile

is turned off. Do not allow LifeStyle to be connected to the auto adapter outlet while starting the

automobile normally or while you are starting the automobile with battery-recharging cables. Wait until

the automobile starts before connecting LifeStyle to the DC power outlet. (The same caution applies

if using the DC adapter outlet on a boat.)

Never use LifeStyle with the device itself located in the trunk of an automobile. Do not allow either

the air intake/gross particle filter or the air outlet to become blocked during use.

When the automobile in which you are using LifeStyle is turned off, disconnect and remove the unit

from the automobile. Never allow LifeStyle to be stored in a very hot automobile or in other similar,

high-temperature environments.

Although LifeStyle is a low-voltage device, do not remove its housing. Only your Equipment Provider

should remove the unit covers.

The battery pack must be in place in the unit when operating LifeStyle. If LifeStyle will remain unused

for more than five consecutive days, remove the battery pack from the device, and store it in a cool,

dry place.

Do not leave a nasal cannula under bed coverings or chair cushions. If LifeStyle is turned on but not

in use, the oxygen could make the material flammable. Set the flow selector to the OFF position when

LifeStyle is not in use.
