Why Your Physician Prescribed Oxygen

Many people today suffer from a variety of heart, lung, and other respiratory diseases.A significant

number of these patients can benefit from supplemental oxygen therapy for respiratory care at home,

in the hospital, or at a medical facility.

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 unit. The Equipment Provider who supplies your oxygen equipment will

demonstrate how to set the prescribed flow rate.

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

decrease the flow until you first consult your physician.

What Is an Oxygen Concentrator?

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

reliable source of supplemental oxygen available today.Without an oxygen concentrator, the average

patient would require a delivery of 12 bottles/cylinders of oxygen each month. Your oxygen

concentrator produces all the oxygen you need, with no deliveries required.

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

In the NewLife Elite unit, room air passes through a regenerative adsorbent material called molecular

sieve. This material separates the oxygen from the nitrogen and other gases. The result is a constant

supply of concentrated high purity supplemental oxygen that is delivered to the patient.
