LifeStyle delivers a gas consisting of 90% (±3%) oxygen at pulse flow rates from 1–5 lpm. 2.2 Operation Check AirSep tests every LifeStyle Oxygen Concentrator thoroughly after manufacture. You must perform the following test to ensure that no damage occurred in shipping or handling.
When this occurs, the patient is instructed to replace the battery, connect LifeStyle to a DC auto adapter power outlet or an AC power outlet, or change to another source of oxygen within five minutes. When LifeStyle is connected to a DC auto adapter outlet or to an AC outlet, power from the automobile battery or from the AC outlet operates LifeStyle and recharges LifeStyle’s battery simultaneously.
2.3.7 Performance Warning The performance of LifeStyle can be affected by two conditions. The first is if the user’s breathing rate causes the LifeStyle unit’s capacity to be exceeded. The LifeStyle unit supplies a fixed amount of high-concentration oxygen. The amount of oxygen that LifeStyle supplies is dependent on the flow control switch setting and the breathing rate.
(AirSep Part No.PW005) to a 100-250 volt, 50/60 Hz outlet. (Note: Do not use the battery [AirSep Part No. BT007-1] to operate the unit when measuring oxygen concentration.) Turn on LifeStyle, and adjust the flow selector to any of 1 through 5 lpm settings. Remove the gross particle filter.

Equipment Provider. Usage at Night or with Extended Tubing Instruct patients that AirSep recommends that LifeStyle should be used while sleeping or with extended tubing (up to 25 ft, 7.5 m) only under the direction of their clinician.
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.
Be careful not to get any liquid into the interior of the unit. Next, clean the exterior with a common chemical disinfectant before any other patient uses the unit. Do not use liquid directly on the LifeStyle unit to clean it.
