of fire, the NewLife
and sources of heat (cigarettes), as well as any combustible products such as oil, grease, solvents,
aerosols, etc.
• Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.
• Avoid letting oxygen accumulate on an upholstered seat or other fabrics. In the event the
concentrator is operating while not supplying oxygen to a patient, position it so that the gas flow is
diluted in the ambient air.
• Place the device in a ventilated area free from smoke and atmospheric pollution, at least
0.5 meters from any other object.
USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE DEVICE
• Use the cable provided, and check that the electrical characteristics of the mains socket used
match those indicated on the manufacturer's plate on the rear panel of the machine.
• We recommend avoiding the use of extension cables or even adapters, as they are sources of
sparks and therefore of fire.
• The NewLife Intensity 10 must only be used for oxygen therapy and only on medical

prescription. The indicated daily duration and flow must be followed, otherwise this may present a
risk to the health of the patient.
• Do not use in a specifically magnetic environment (MRI, etc.).
