    Why does my Nidek Medical Equipment compressor stop and start?
    • K
      kblairAug 20, 2025
      This issue occurs because the compressor thermal safety device has been activated, possibly due to dirty filters or a malfunctioning fan. To resolve this, stop the device and allow it to cool down. Clean the cabinet filter and then restart the device. If the problem persists, contact your equipment supplier.

Overview

The NIDEK Mark 5 Nuvo Family Oxygen Concentrator, including the Nuvo, Nuvo 8, and Nuvo 10 models, is a medical device designed to supply supplemental oxygen to individuals requiring oxygen therapy. It is not intended to be life-supporting or life-sustaining. This device produces an oxygen-enriched product by concentrating oxygen from room air and can be used with nasal cannulas or other administration devices. Federal Law (US) restricts its sale to, or on the order of, a licensed physician, and it should only be used under the supervision of a licensed physician.

Function Description:

The concentrator operates by drawing in filtered ambient air. A compressor then sends this air to an electronic valving system, which directs the compressed air to columns containing a molecular sieve. The molecular sieve adsorbs nitrogen, allowing oxygen to pass through. The oxygen-enriched product is then directed through a pressure-reducing valve to an adjustable flow meter and finally to the oxygen outlet fitting. While one column is in production (adsorbing nitrogen and producing oxygen), the other column undergoes a "regeneration" phase, desorbing nitrogen back into the ambient air. A bacterial filter is located prior to the oxygen outlet fitting to ensure product purity.

Usage Features:

  • Easy Adjustment: A single flow adjustment knob allows for easy adjustment to the prescribed flow rate. This knob can be locked by equipment suppliers or medical staff to limit flows to a specific rate.
  • Power Switch (I/O): Used to turn the device ON ("I") or OFF ("O").
  • OCSI (Oxygen Concentration Status Indicator): Indicator lights on the front panel provide visual feedback on oxygen concentration. A green light indicates power is applied and oxygen-enriched air is being provided at the set point. A red light indicates a system fault, such as low oxygen concentration or a blocked cannula/hose.
  • Audible Alarms: The device features an audible alarm for power loss, low oxygen concentration, and blocked cannula/hose. The user must ensure the alarm can be heard within their environment.
  • Humidifier Compatibility: Designed to be used with a humidifier (if prescribed), with a dedicated space reserved on the front panel.
  • Polarized Plug: May be equipped with a polarized plug for safety.
  • Warm-up Time: After turning off, users must wait 3-5 minutes before restarting to allow system pressure to dissipate.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cabinet Air Filter (7): Removable and located on the rear panel. Must be cleaned weekly in warm water with household detergent or after approximately 100 hours of use. More frequent cleaning is recommended in dusty environments.
  • Inlet Air Filter (11): Located behind the cabinet air filter. Should be inspected at each patient visit and replaced annually, or more often depending on the environment.
  • Final Product Filter: Located before the oxygen outlet (technician-only maintenance).
  • Humidifier Disinfection: If prescribed, the humidifier flask should be emptied daily, rinsed with running water, and refilled with distilled water. Regularly disinfect humidifier parts by immersing them in a solution (e.g., 1 part vinegar diluted with 10 parts water), then rinse and dry. Check the humidifier lid seal condition.
  • Oxygen Tubing and Nasal Cannula: Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and replacement. For new patients, the entire oxygen administration circuit (including nasal cannulas) must be changed.
  • Periodic Maintenance: No special patient maintenance is required beyond filter cleaning and humidifier care. Equipment suppliers perform periodic maintenance operations, including checking oxygen concentration every 15,000 hours or 3 years to verify OCSI function.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: The manual provides a troubleshooting section for common issues like the device not operating, alarms, or irregular flow.
  • Service Manual: Detailed preventive maintenance instructions are defined in the service manual (part ref: 2010-2329 NUVO Family Service Manual) and should be performed by suitably trained technicians certified by the manufacturer, using original spare parts.
  • Maintenance Log: Users are advised to record all maintenance activity in the Maintenance Log found in the service manual and online at www.nidekmedical.com.
