General Safety Instructions

Production and use of oxygen

Oxygen is not a flammable gas, but accelerates the combustion of materials. To

prevent fire risks, the Nuvo 8 should be kept away from flames, incandescent
sources or sources of heat (cigarettes) and combustible products such as oil,
grease, solvents, aerosols, etc.

Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.

Prevent oxygen from accumulating on upholstered seats or any other fabric. If the
concentrator operates without being administered to a patient, locate it so that the
flow of gas generated is dissipated into the air.

Locate the equipment in a free space (filter to the rear and below) which is well
ventilated and free of fumes or atmospheric pollution.

Use and Maintenance of the Device

Use the electric cable provided and check that the voltage of the mains socket used
complies with the electrical characteristics of the appliance indicated on the
manufacturers plate on the rear of the appliance.

Do not use an extension cord or multiple sockets which can create sparks and
therefore pose a fire risk.

Use of the Nuvo 8 must be restricted solely to oxygen therapy on medical

prescription in compliance with the daily rate and duration.

Use in other circumstances may represent a hazard to patient health.

Do not use in a specifically magnetic environment (MRI, etc.).

The Nuvo 8 has an audible alarm intended to warn the user of any problems. The
user must determine the maximum distance away from the Nuvo 8, based on the
sound levels in the environment, to ensure that the alarm is always audible.

Standards & Regulations

In compliance with UL60601-1 [EN60601-1] (para 6.82.b):

“The manufacturer, assembler, installer or importer are not considered to be
responsible for consequences or the safety, reliability and characteristics of a

2.0 Operational Check and Concentration Test

2.1 Description of Operation

Air enters the Nuvo 8 Oxygen Concentrator through an external cooling air intake
filter. This filtered air enters the compressor via a suction resonator and fine filter,
which quiets the suction sounds made by the compressor. Pressurized air then exits
the compressor and passes through a heat exchanger, which reduces the
temperature of the compressed air. Next, an electronic valve system directs the air
into one of two sieve beds that contain molecular sieve. The special characteristic
property of molecular sieve is that it physically attracts (adsorbs) nitrogen when air
passes through this material, thus enabling the production of high purity oxygen.

There are two sieve beds or adsorbent columns; while one produces high purity
oxygen, the other is purged of the nitrogen it adsorbed (collected) while it was
producing oxygen. Each column produces oxygen for approximately 5.5 seconds
and delivers it to the product storage volume in the end of the column. Oxygen exits
the adsorbent column through a pressure regulator, flow control valve, flow meter,
and bacteria filter. The flow control valve, which is part of the flow meter, controls
the flow rate of oxygen delivered to the patient. The Nuvo 8 unit delivers up to 95%
oxygen concentration at flow rates from 2 to 8 l/min. The remaining constituents of
the product gas stream are nitrogen and argon, both of which are part of the air we
breathe, are inert and are completely safe.
2010-2229 Rev - A Page 8 of 47
2.2 Operational Check

Nidek runs each device through a burn in period and tests every Nuvo 8 Oxygen
Concentrator thoroughly after manufacture before releasing for shipment. As the
home service provider, it is your responsibility to perform the following test to ensure
that no damage occurred in shipping or handling.

1. Open and inspect all concentrator cartons upon receipt. Unpack each
unit and remove it from its carton. Inspect the unit itself for damage. If
the exterior of the carton is damaged, or the unit itself is damaged,
note it on the freight bill signed by the driver.

● Before plugging the unit into the wall outlet, actuate the I/0
(ON/OFF) switch to the I (ON) position and note that the audible
alarm sounds continuously. (See Section 2.3). Move the switch to
the 0 (OFF) position.

2. Plug in the power cord of the unit, and set the I/0 (ON/OFF) switch to
the I (ON) position. Check to see that the following occurs:

● The compressor runs, listen for the sound.

● Exhaust air flows out of the bottom of the unit.

● OPTIONAL for Units Equipped with Oxygen Concentration Status

Indicator (OCSI): The OCSI green light remains off until the oxygen
concentration reaches 85% @ 60 Hz and 83% @ 50 Hz.
(approximately two minutes).

3. Turn the flow meter adjustment knob counterclockwise until it stops

(wide open). The flow meter should register in excess of 8.5 liters/min.
If not, refer to Section 5.8 to adjust the product regulator.

4 Perform an oxygen concentration test, as described in Section 2.4.

2.3 Alarm System

The Nuvo 8 Oxygen Concentrator is equipped with a battery-powered alarm

system, which sounds a continuous and loud alarm when a power failure occurs or
when one or more cycle variables are not within specification. It sounds an alarm if
the high or low pressure indicators are activated (standard models only) or if the
optional OCSI detects lower than predetermined levels of oxygen concentration.
The alarm remains on until you correct the alarm condition or you set the I/0
(ON/OFF) switch to the 0 (OFF) position. Refer to Section 6.0 for a list of probable
alarm causes.

2010-2229 Rev - A Page 9 of 47

2.3.1 Battery Test

The Nuvo 8 battery can be checked by observing that the continuous alarm sounds
when the I/0 (ON/OFF) switch is moved to the I (ON) position when the unit is
unplugged from the wall outlet.

2.3.2 Power Failure Alarm Test

To test the power failure alarm, perform the following actions:

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and set the I/0 (ON/OFF) switch to the I
(ON) position.

This should immediately activate the audible alarm. If it doesn’t, refer to the
troubleshooting chart in Section 6.0 of this manual.

2.4 Oxygen Concentration Test and Specification

To ensure that the output of oxygen from the device is within specification, you must
perform an oxygen concentration test. Test the unit upon delivery to a patient and at
periodic intervals. Home Service Providers, based on their expertise and
documentation, may establish and implement their own plans for checking oxygen
concentration. The interval established may be longer or shorter than 90 days,
which is Nidek ’s default time period for providers who do not choose to establish
their own plan.

1. If an oxygen humidifier bottle is used, remove it from the oxygen outlet.

2. Connect a calibrated oxygen concentration analyzer to the oxygen outlet.

3. Set the I/0 (ON/OFF) power switch to the I (ON) position. (It takes
approximately five minutes for the oxygen concentration to stabilize.) Take
oxygen concentration readings over a period of several minutes to reduce
any cyclic variations

4. Verify that the product flow rate delivered by the unit matches the patient’s
prescription and does not exceed the capacity of the unit.

5. Disconnect the oxygen analyzer, and reconnect the humidifier bottle (if used)
and any other equipment / accessories that may be required.

6. Adjust the flow meter adjustment knob to the prescribed flow rate.

NOTE:

Do not measure oxygen concentration output after the product stream passes
through a humidifier bottle, erroneous readings will result and your oxygen
concentration measuring device might be damaged.

3.0 Patient Instructions

3.1 General Instructions

It is important that patients thoroughly understand how to operate the Nidek Nuvo 8
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 the unit alarms, they must notify their Home
Service Provider and/or physician immediately. You, as the Home Service Provider,
are responsible to see that each patient receives the Patient Manual. Explain each
step in the operation of the unit to the patient in reference to this 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:

• Clean the cooling air intake filter

• Check the alarm system battery

3.2.1 Cleaning the Cooling Air Intake (Cabinet) Filter

NOTE:

The patient must clean this filter weekly, as described below. The filter may require
daily cleaning if the Nuvo 8 unit operates in a harsh environment such as a house
heated by wood, kerosene, or oil, or one with excessive cigarette smoke.

1 Remove the dirty cooling air filter from the back of the
Nuvo 8 unit.
2 Wash the dirty filter in warm water with household
detergent, and rinse.
3 Use a soft absorbent towel to remove excess water.

2010-2229 Rev - A Page 11 of 47

3.2.2 Checking the Alarm System Battery

See Procedure described in Paragraph 2.3.1

4.0 Home Service Provider Maintenance

4.1 Routine Maintenance

The Nuvo 8 unit has two filters and a 9-volt battery that require scheduled
maintenance and replacement.

To ensure that the output of oxygen from the unit is within specification, you must
perform an oxygen concentration test. Test the unit upon delivery to a patient and at
periodic intervals. Home Service Providers, based on their expertise and
documentation, may establish and implement their own practices for checking
oxygen concentration. The interval established may be longer or shorter than 90
days, which is the default time period recommended for providers who do not
choose to establish their method.

Nidek does not require preventive maintenance on the concentrator. You do not
need to perform any maintenance as long as the Nuvo 8 unit remains within
specifications at the prescribed flow rate. (Refer to Section 2.4)

4.1.1 Cooling Air Filter

The external cooling air filter is located on the back of the unit; it is easily removed
by hand. Instruct the patient to clean this filter weekly. (Refer to Section 3.2.1.)

NOTE:

The filter may require more frequent cleaning if the Nuvo 8 unit operates in a harsh
environment such as a house heated by wood, kerosene, or oil, or one with
excessive cooking, cigarette smoke or atmospheric dust.

4.1.2 Bacteria Filter Replacement

The bacteria filter must be replaced after every 2 years or 15,000 hours of use.

1. Set the I/0 (ON/OFF) switch to the 0 (OFF) position, and unplug the power
cord.
2. Remove the cabinet back to locate the bacteria filter. NOTE: Observe the
position of the filter before removal.
3. Separate the silicone tubing from both sides of the filter.
4. Install the new filter with the inlet side in the same position as before. Push
the tubing together so that it overlaps the barbs of the bacteria filter
connections.
5. Record information about the bacteria filter replacement on the History
Record Card, as recommended in Section 4.1.5.
6. Reinstall the cabinet back.
2010-2229 Rev - A Page 12 of 47
4.1.3 Compressor Filter Replacement

The compressor air inlet filter requires changing every 6 months or 5,000 hours of
use.

1. Set the unit I/0 (ON/OFF) switch to the 0 (OFF) position, and unplug the
power cord.
2. Remove the rear cabinet access panel to locate the intake filter.
3. Remove filter from the unit, and replace with a new filter.
4. Record information about the filter replacement on the History Record Card
as recommended in Section 4.1.5.
5. Reinstall the access panel.

4.1.4 Battery Replacement

Each time the Nuvo 8 unit is turned on, the alarm must sound loudly for
approximately five seconds to indicate a good battery. An alarm that does anything
other than sound loudly for five seconds indicates a weak battery and requires
replacement. For units with OCSI, actuate the switch with the power cord
unplugged to test the battery. To replace the battery, take the following steps:

1. Set the I/0 (ON/OFF) switch to the 0 (OFF) position, and unplug the power
cord.
2. Remove the access panel in the cabinet back.
3. Pull the battery from the mounting slot and remove the connection wires.
4. Attach the new battery to the connector and reinsert it into the mounting slot.
5. Set the I/0 (ON/OFF) switch to the I (ON) position to test the alarm.
6. Record the battery replacement information on the History Record card as
recommended in Section 4.1.5.
7. Reinstall the access panel.

4.1.5 Recording Maintenance

As the Home Service Provider, it is suggested that you record all routine
maintenance and repairs performed on the Nuvo 8 unit, including hours and dates
of service.

4.2 Cleaning and Infection Control

With the growing concern about possible cross infection from home oxygen
equipment (i.e.. oxygen concentrators) from one home care patient to another,
appropriate cautions should be exercised.

The organisms of most concern are M. Tuberculosis, HIV, and Viral Hepatitis.
These are potentially pathogenic.

Tuberculosis can survive outside of the human body, but its mode of transmission is
by droplet nuclei. When infected individuals cough, they release droplet nuclei into
the air, and these carry the Tuberculosis organism. Another person may breathe in
2010-2229 Rev - A Page 13 of 47
these droplet nuclei, but prolonged exposure to the infected person is usually
necessary for infection to occur.

HIV and Viral Hepatitis are both viruses, which are not living cells themselves but
which can duplicate when in a living “host” cell. Both of these organisms are usually
passed on by person-to-person contact, and both need to be in the human body to
survive. Once outside the body, viruses can survive for only a short period of time.

4.2.1 Preparing for New Patient Use

When you remove the Nuvo 8 from a patient’s home, always dispose of the used
nasal cannula and humidifier bottle. Clean the exterior of the Nuvo 8 with a soapy
water solution or commercial detergent cleaner to remove any debris, organic or
otherwise. Be careful not to get any liquid into the interior of the unit.

Next, clean the exterior with either a common chemical disinfectant or a bleach
solution* and allow it to air dry. For the bleach solution, wear eye and skin
protection to prevent exposure to the chlorine. Retest the Nuvo 8 before you return
it to your inventory.

Replace the cabinet dust filter between each patient’s use or clean with warm soapy
water if it is in good condition. Clean this filter at least once per week or more
frequently if operated in a dusty environment.

Change the bacteria filter every 2 years or 15,000 hours of use (under adverse
conditions, filter may need to be changed more frequently if dingy or dirty) It is
recommended to change the bacteria filter between patients.

*Make the bleach solution a 1:100 dilution of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite. Mix one
part household bleach (e.g.. Clorox) with 99 parts cold tap water. To measure the
solution easily, take 1/4 cup of household bleach, and mix it with a gallon of cold tap
water. Allow the mixture to sit on potentially contaminated surfaces for 10 minutes.

5.0 Service

5.1 Components

The design of the Nidek Nuvo 8 Oxygen Concentrator allows for easy access and
removal of most components. This allows you to perform scheduled maintenance,
repair, and replacement of parts with minimal time and effort. The inlet air filter and
battery are conveniently located inside the small access panel in the cabinet back.

CAUTION:

For your safety, be sure to set the I/0 (ON/OFF) switch to the 0 (OFF) position and
unplug the power cord before you service the Nuvo 8 Oxygen Concentrator.

2010-2229 Rev - A Page 14 of 47

NOTE:

Record all scheduled maintenance. (Refer to Section 4.0.)

5.2 Cabinet Removal

5.2.1 Removing Cabinet Back

To remove the cabinet back, remove two screws near the base (one on each side)
and two inset screws at the top just under the handle.

5.2.2 Removing Cabinet Front

To remove the cabinet front, remove two screws near the base (one on each side)
adjacent to the rear cabinet screws and two inset screws at the top just under the
handle. It is necessary to remove the cabinet back to access the top screws.

5.2.3 Removing Control Panel

Eight screws hold the control panel in place; the front cover must be removed to
access these screws. It is necessary to remove the electrical wiring and pneumatic
tubing to fully release the control panel.

5.2.4 Main Structure

The weight and forces of the internal components rest solely on four parts: the main
structure, the compressor plate, the base-plate and the base. These parts were
specially designed and formed. They should never require replacement under
normal use.

5.2.5 Caster Replacement

The casters are a push in type that do not require any fasteners. Lay the device on
its back to access the casters from the bottom. Pull them straight out away from the
bottom.

5.3 Compressor

The compressor is the pump within the oxygen concentrator that supplies air to the
separation process performed by the sieve beds. The pressure generated by the
compressor forces oxygen to flow out of the top of the sieve columns.

The compressor is the likely cause of two potential specific problems:

a. An insufficient amount of air is supplied to the process.

b. An excessive sound level.

2010-2229 Rev - A Page 15 of 47

● Air Supply

Compressor output refers to how much compressed air the compressor can
produce. This depends upon the model of the compressor, length of stroke, piston
diameter, speed of rotation and condition of seals. The cup seals form the seal
between the piston and the cylinder wall. As the cup seals wear, the output begins
to gradually decrease. This reduction in compressor output results in less air, and
thus less oxygen, entering the sieve beds. Therefore, the production of oxygen
decreases.

Because this drop in oxygen production occurs over a long period of time,
preventive maintenance on the compressor is not required.

You can continue a patient’s therapy on the Nuvo 8 unit as long as the oxygen
concentration level at the prescribed liter flow rate is within Nidek ’s specification
limits. Refer to Section 2.4.

● Sound Level

The sound level is largely determined by the condition of the compressor’s

bearings.

There are four bearings located within the compressor that allow the inner
components of the compressor to rotate. If the bearings wear to the point that they
become loose and noisy, the compressor becomes noticeably loud and needs
servicing. The life of a compressor is determined primarily by its operating
temperature. It is extremely important that the inlet cooling air filters are cleaned
and replaced as required.

The Nuvo 8 uses an electronic valve system valve assembly to control the air
separation process. There is a feed port that connects to the heat exchanger and
an exhaust port that connects to the exhaust muffler outlet. There are three
possible valve states as follows:

1. Air feed connected to sieve bed A and exhaust connected to sieve bed B.
2. Air feed connected to sieve bed B and exhaust connected to sieve bed A.
3. Air feed connected to sieve bed A & B, both exhaust closed (normal de-
energized condition).

The control valve of the Nuvo 8 unit requires no scheduled maintenance. If a valve
does not function as required, it is best to replace the complete sieve module as it is
probable that one or both of the beds has been damaged.

5.5 Sieve Bed/Module Replacement

CAUTION:

Do not expose molecular sieve (contents of bed) to air for an extended period of
time. Prolonged exposure of molecular sieve to the moisture in room air results in
contamination and permanent damage to the sieve material. Keep all openings to
the sieve beds sealed during periods of storage.

NOTE:

If replacement is necessary, you must replace the entire module at the same time.
It is recommended to replace the sieve bed and control valve module as a complete
assembly.

5.5.1 Sieve Bed/Module Removal

1. Set the unit’s I/0 (ON/OFF) switch to the 0 (OFF) position and unplug the
power cord.
2. Remove the cabinet back.
3. Disconnect the 3/8-inch air inlet tube from the side of the valve body.
4. Disconnect the 1/4-inch product outlet tube from the top of valve.
5. Disconnect the electrical wiring from each solenoid valve, noting there color
and position.
6. Remove the tie-wrap (24” from around module).
7. Remove “Z” bracket; from the top of the module.
8. Lift the module up and out of the base plate.

Fig 6.1.2
2010-2229 Rev - A Page 25 of 47
6.1.1 High Operating Air Pressure (P1)

Higher than normal operating pressure may indicate any of the following:

• A restrictive exhaust muffler, which does not allow the waste (purge)
gas to exit the system freely.

• Contaminated sieve beds. Change the sieve beds.

6.1.2 Low Operating Air Pressure (P1)

Lower than normal operating pressure may indicate any of the following:

• A restriction in the suction resonator or air intake filter, this limits the
amount of room air available to the compressor. Disconnect the
suction tube at the compressor, and allow the unit to operate without
the suction resonator to see if normal operating pressure returns.

• An improperly operating control valve. Confirm that the control valve

does not have a leak.

• A leak in the unit, which allows system pressure to escape. Leak test
the unit.

• A compressor with reduced output.

Ensure that the concentration level at the desired liter flow is within specifications
listed in section 2.4. If it is below specifications, replace or repair the compressor.

6.2 Product Pressure Test (P2)

Testing the product pressure is a useful diagnostic tool when a concentrator has low
purity and requires servicing. Units functioning normally do not require operating
tests.

Use the following procedure to test the product pressure of the unit.

1. Set the I/0 (ON/OFF) switch to the 0 (OFF) position, and unplug the power
cord.
2. Remove the cabinet rear.
3. Remove the plug from the T-fitting atop the valve and install the test port
tubing (1/4” OD tubing is required). Figure 6.1.1 shows the normal operating
configuration for each unit. Figure 6.1.2 shows the installation of the test port
tubing.
4. Connect a pressure test gauge to the P2 test port tubing.
5. Plug in the power cord, and set the I/0 (ON/OFF) power switch to the ON
2010-2229 Rev - A Page 26 of 47
 position. Set the flow meter to 8 l/min, and allow the unit to run at least five
minutes.
6. Observe the maximum and minimum readings on the pressure test gauge.
The maximum reading should not exceed 40 psig (275kPa). The minimum
reading should not be less than 13 psig (90 kPa).

6.2.1 Low Product Pressure (P2)

Lower than normal operating pressure may indicate any of the following:

• An air intake filter that limits the amount of room air available to the
compressor. Disconnect the suction tube at the compressor, and
allow the unit to operate without the suction resonator to see if normal
operating pressure returns.

• An improperly operating control valve. Confirm that the control valve

does not have a leak.

• A leak in the unit, which allows system pressure to escape. Leak test
the unit.

• A compressor with reduced output. Ensure that the concentration

level at the desired liter flow is within specifications listed in Section
2.4. If it is below specification, replace or repair the compressor.

6.2.2 High Product Pressure (P2)

Higher than normal operating pressure may indicate any of the following:

• A restrictive exhaust muffler, which does not allow the waste (purge)
gas to exit the system freely.

• Check exhaust muffler for any restrictions

• Contaminated sieve beds. Change the sieve beds.

6.3 General Troubleshooting

Before reviewing the troubleshooting chart, the following steps may be useful to
isolate any malfunctions:

1. Turn the concentrator on. If unit does not turn on, refer to troubleshooting
chart.
2. Make sure all filters are clean.
3. Turn flow meter completely open, up to the highest setting. The ball should
rest at the top of the scale. If setting is not greater than 8.5 l/min, adjust
regulator so that the ball level exceeds 8.5 l/min with the flow meter
completely open.
4. Connect test pressure gauge to the outlet fitting of the unit. The pressure
2010-2229 Rev - A Page 27 of 47
 should read approximately 17 psig (117 kPa).

5. Connect test pressure gauge to the P1 test port on the valve inlet. The
pressure should be cycling between approximately 13 and 40 psig (90 and
275 kPa).
6. Make sure the unit is cycling properly by observing the pressure gauge cycle
between a high and a low pressure. If the unit is not cycling properly, refer to
troubleshooting chart.
7. Make sure that the unit is leak free by testing all tubing connections and
fittings with leak testing solution. Protect circuit board from solution and start
leak test at the compressor outlet, following the air flow through the unit to
the oxygen outlet. Repair all leaks by tightening connections and fittings.
8. Set the concentrator at 8 l/min and connect pressure test gauge to P2 at the
top of the sieve module. Determine pressure parameters by observing high
and low pressure points on the gauge. It should cycle between
approximately 13 psig and 40 psig (90 to 275 kPa). If pressures are high or
low, refer to the troubleshooting chart.
9. Review troubleshooting chart to isolate and repair any other malfunctions.

The following diagnostic flow chart will help to isolate potential
