III. Important Safety Rules
Carefully review and familiarise 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 Doctor 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 a car, disconnect it from the DC vehicle cigarette lighter
socket when the car is turned off. Do not allow LifeStyle to be connected to the
power socket while starting the car normally or while you are starting the car
with battery-recharging cables. Wait until the car starts before connecting
LifeStyle to the DC power socket. (The same caution applies if using the DC
power adapter socket on a boat.)
• Never use LifeStyle with the device itself located in the boot of a car. Do not
allow either the air intake/gross particle filter or the air outlet to become
blocked during use.
• When the engine of the car in which you are using LifeStyle is turned off,
disconnect and remove the unit from the car. Never allow LifeStyle to be stored
in a very hot car 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.
• AirSep recommends an alternate source of supplemental oxygen in the
event of a power cut, alarm condition, or mechanical failure. Consult your
doctor or Equipment Provider for the type of reserve system required.
• Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by order of a doctor. Use
LifeStyle in accordance with AirSep's LifeStyle Patient Manual.
