The Nidek Nuvo Lite Mark 5 is a 5-liter oxygen concentrator that separates oxygen from ambient air, delivering it at a prescribed purity level (typically 93% ± 3%) for patients who require long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT).
Oxygen Output & Purity:
Flow Rate: Delivers up to 5 liters per minute (LPM) of oxygen.
Oxygen Purity: Maintains a consistent purity of 93% ± 3% across the entire flow range (1L to 5L). This is the medical standard for therapeutic oxygen.
User-Friendly Operation:
Simple Control Knob: Features an intuitive, easy-to-turn flowmeter knob to set the precise liter flow as prescribed by a doctor.
Clear Flow Indicator: A ball-in-tube or similar gauge provides a clear visual confirmation that oxygen is flowing.
Pressure Gauge: Monitors the internal operating pressure of the device.
Safety and Alarm Systems:
Audible Alarm: Built-in alarms to alert the user in case of:
Power failure
Low oxygen purity
System malfunction
Optional Oxygen Concentrator: The unit may include an optional oxygen concentration monitor that displays the real-time purity level.
Design and Functionality:
Quiet Operation: Engineered for low noise levels, making it suitable for use in bedrooms and living areas without significant disruption.
Durable Construction: Built with a robust chassis for long-term, reliable home use.
Castor Wheels: Equipped with wheels and a handle, making it moderately portable within the home (e.g., from the bedroom to the living room).
Accessories: Typically includes a standard oxygen outlet, compatible with various oxygen tubing and humidifier bottles.
Technical Requirements:
Power Consumption: Designed to be energy-efficient. It plugs into a standard household power outlet.
Input Power: Usually operates at 220V-240V (depending on the regional model).
Filters: Includes multiple filters (e.g., Intake Filter, Bacterial Filter) to ensure clean intake air and sterile output, which require regular cleaning or replacement.
Reliable Oxygen Supply: Provides a continuous, on-demand source of medical-grade oxygen, eliminating the need for oxygen cylinder deliveries and the risk of running out.
Cost-Effective: After the initial purchase, the ongoing cost is primarily electricity, making it significantly cheaper than relying on oxygen cylinders in the long run.
Promotes Independence: Allows patients to remain active within their homes, improving their quality of life.
Safety: Built-in alarms provide critical safety warnings, giving peace of mind to both the user and their caregivers.
Ease of Use: The simple design makes it easy for elderly users or those with limited technical knowledge to operate.
