Patient Instructions
3.1
General Instructions
It is important that patients thoroughly understand how to operate AirSep's LifeStyle
unit. This enables proper treatment as prescribed by a qualified, licensed physician.
You must explain that the purpose of this therapy is to alleviate symptoms. If patients
experience any discomfort or if the unit alarms, they must notify their Equipment Pro-
vider and/or physician immediately.
You, as the Equipment Provider, are responsible to ensure that each patient receives the
LifeStyle Patient Manual. Explain each step in the operation of the unit to the patient
with reference to the patient manual.
3.2
Routine Maintenance by the Patient
To ensure accurate output and efficient operation of the unit, the patient must perform
two simple, routine maintenance tasks:
3.2.1 Cleaning the Air Intake / Gross Particle Filter
•
Clean the air intake / gross particle filter
•
Check the number of hours displayed on the hour meter.
1.
Lift the corner of the LifeStyle unit to expose the air intake / gross
particle filter.
NOTE
The patient must clean this filter weekly,
as described below. The filter may require
daily cleaning if the LifeStyle unit operates
in a harsh environment; for example, a
house heated by wood, kerosene, or oil, or
one with excessive cigarette smoke.
