  If your CAIRE Medical Equipment unit isn't working, first, check the power cord at the electrical outlet to ensure it's properly connected. Then, verify that there is power at the outlet by checking the power source, wall switch, fuse, or circuit breaker. If these steps don't solve the issue, it is possible that the oxygen concentrator circuit breaker is activated and you should contact your Equipment Provider for service.

Why is there limited oxygen flow in my CAIRE NewLife Intensity 10 Medical Equipment?
- R
  reyesjessicaAug 14, 2025
  Limited oxygen flow in your CAIRE Medical Equipment can be due to several reasons. It might be caused by a dirty or obstructed humidifier bottle. If you're using one, remove it from the oxygen outlet; if the flow returns, clean or replace the bottle. Another cause could be a defective nasal cannula, face mask, catheter, oxygen delivery tube, or other accessory. Try removing these from the oxygen tubing and replace them if the flow improves. Finally, there might be another leak or restriction. Disconnect the delivery tubing at the oxygen outlet. If proper flow is restored, check the oxygen tubing for kinks or obstructions and replace it if needed. If problems persist, contact your Equipment Provider.

How to prevent condensation in the oxygen tubing of my CAIRE NewLife Intensity 10 when using a humidifier bottle?
- A
  Ashley HernandezAug 25, 2025
  To prevent condensation in the oxygen tubing of your CAIRE Medical Equipment when using a humidifier bottle, ensure the unit is properly ventilated. Position it away from curtains, drapes, hot air registers, heaters, and fireplaces, keeping all sides at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) away from any wall or obstruction. Avoid placing the unit in confined areas. Allow oxygen tubing to dry out, or replace it with new tubing. Refill the humidifier bottle with COLD water, and do not overfill it.
