This Oxygen Concentrator has an adjustable flow meter which ranges from .5 LPM to 5 LPM that is adjustable in ½ LPM increments which can accommodate the various needs of most oxygen end users. The adjustable flow meter is also recessed into the body of the concentrator so as to minimize the potential for damage to the flow meter.
The Airsep Elite is designed to reliably deliver 87% to 93% oxygen purity levels while in operation at any setting.
The Airsep is very energy efficient and economical to operate as is uses on average only 350 watts of power. The advanced design of the Thomas compressor allows the Airsep Elite to run quiet, cooler and uses less electricity therefore saving the user from incurring higher energy bills.
This Oxygen Concentrator will provide you with several years of safe, reliable and trouble free service and is designed to operate effortlessly and efficiently on a 24/7 basis.
The sound level of the Airsep Elite is only 48dbA and is significantly quieter than earlier models of oxygen concentrators which were louder, heavier and cumbersome.
The maintenance for the Airsep Elite Oxygen Concentrator is exceptionally minimal and designed to be easy to maintain. Once a week you will remove and rinse the foam filter located at the rear of the machine. Let it air dry before reinstalling it. Replace as needed. Every two years you will need to replace the internal Bacteria filter.
The filter replacement can be done very easily by removing the side panels and rear panel of the Concentrator. Set them to the side. Locate the bacteria filter that is positioned behind the Oxygen Outlet. Remove the filter from the tubing and dispose of it. Install the new filter, reinstall the cabinet pieces, and you are done! The total time for this should take no more than ten minutes. A flat bad screw driver is required to unscrew the case.
The Airsep Elite is available with a humidifier bottle option, that is used with distilled water only. This humidification moistens the high purity oxygenated air so that it minimizes the discomfort to the patients nose and throat from the air being to dry. The humidifier bottle sits in a recessed area, to minimize the possibility of breakage.
This oxygen concentrator is designed for home settings or at any location where a long life stationary unit can be used which operates on 120 VAC and 60 HZ.
The concentrator should never be used in conjunction with extension cords, power strips or surge protectors as it will interfere with the proper operation and potentially cause the concentrator to overheat or have other operational issues.

This Oxygen Concentrator incorporates Turn Down technology. The internal Circuit Board constantly monitors the flow rate and will slow down the compressor at lower Flow Rates. As a result the unit runs cooler and less power is consumed. In turn, you will have a lower power bill, and the Oxygen Concentrator should run longer.
How can I tell if the oxygen purity is good?
If equipped with a Low Purity Sensor, as long as the Green LED light is illuminated, you know that the Oxygen Concentrator is making at least 85% purity Oxygen. If for any reason the Purity falls below therapeutic levels, the Yellow LED light will illuminate. Contact your provider if you notice this.
