1.2 Equipment Provider Responsibility
All Equipment Providers of the NewLife
®
Oxygen Concentrator must assume
responsibilities for handling, operational check-out, patient instruction, and oxygen
concentration checks. These responsibilities are outlined below and throughout this
manual.
As an Equipment Provider, you must do all of the following:
▪
Inspect the condition of each NewLife unit immediately upon delivery to your
business location. Note any sign of damage on the delivery receipt, and report it
directly to both the, freight company and CAIRE, Inc. immediately.
▪
Check the operation of each NewLife before delivery to a patient. Confirm the
oxygen concentration level is within specifications.
▪
Deliver NewLife units only to patients authorized by a licensed health care provider
or physician’s prescription. The NewLife must not be used as a life-supporting
device. A backup supply of oxygen must be available.
▪
Instruct users how to use the NewLife in conjunction with the User Manual.
▪
Instruct users to notify their licensed health care provider/physician if they
experience any signs of discomfort.
▪
Instruct each user how to perform routine maintenance of the air intake gross
particle filter (Refer to Section 3.2.1.)
▪
Be available to provide service to each user at any time.
▪
Maintain the NewLife in accordance with Section 4.0.
▪
Establish and implement a protocol to check oxygen concentration.
▪
Repair components and replace parts only as outlined in this manual. Use only
CAIRE parts for replacement in NewLife Oxygen Concentrators.
This unit is not a life-support device. Geriatric, pediatric, or any other
patient unable to communicate discomfort while using this oxygen
concentrator may require additional monitoring. Patients with hearing
and/or sight impairments may need assistance with monitoring the
alarms.
This device supplies high-concentration oxygen that promotes rapid
burning. Do not allow smoking or open flames within the same room of
(1) this device, or (2) any oxygen-carrying accessory. Failure to observe
this warning can result in severe fire, property damage, and/or cause
physical injury or death.
Use no oil, grease, or petroleum-based or other flammable products on
or near nasal end of cannula or on the unit. Oxygen accelerates the
combustion of flammable substances.
