  If your Lifestyle Medical Equipment concentrator isn’t working, a red light is on, and there's a continuous alarm, it could be due to low pressure. Try cleaning or replacing the filters. If the issue continues, stop using the device and contact your equipment provider immediately. It could also be due to high pressure, in which case you should contact your equipment provider immediately.

  The yellow light on your Lifestyle Medical Equipment concentrator indicates that the oxygen concentration is safe but decreasing. To resolve this, try cleaning or replacing the filters. Another possible cause is overheating due to blocked air intake. Ensure the concentrator is at least 10 cm (4 inches) away from walls, draperies, furniture, or similar surfaces.

  If your Lifestyle Medical Equipment concentrator isn’t working and you hear a continuous alarm, it could be due to a compressor open circuit or a compressor short circuit alarm. In either case, you should contact your equipment provider immediately.

Why does the nasal cannula have more fogging on Lifestyle Medical Equipment?
- L
  laurie17Aug 17, 2025
  If the nasal cannula of your Lifestyle Medical Equipment has more fogging or droplets, it could be due to several reasons. The unit might not be properly ventilated, causing the operating temperature to be too high. Ensure the machine is at least 10 cm away from walls, heaters, and other obstructions. The fan inside the machine might be unable to run or running too slowly, also raising the operating temperature. Remove any obstructions blocking the fan. The water in the humidifier bottle may be too warm, so add cold water. Finally, too much water in the humidifier can cause this, so ensure the water level is between the maximum and minimum levels.
