GENERALSAFETY GUIDELINES
Only persons who have read and understood this entire manual
should be allowed to operate the Mark 5 Nuvo 8.
USE OFOXYGEN
Oxygen is not a ammable gas, but it accelerates
the combustion of materials. To avoid all risks of
re, the Mark 5 Nuvo 8 should be kept away from
all ames, incandescent sources and sources of heat
(cigarettes), as well as any combustible products
such as oil, grease, solvents, aerosols, etc.
Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.
Avoid letting oxygen accumulate on an upholstered
seat orotherfabrics.Iftheconcentratorisoperating
while not supplying oxygen to a patient, position it
so that the gas ow is diluted in the ambient air.
Place the device in a ventilated area free from
smoke and atmospheric pollution (rear filter
unobstructed).
The Mark 5 Nuvo 8 must only be used for oxygen
therapy and only on a medical prescription. The
indicated daily duration and ow must be followed,
otherwise it may present a risk to the health of the
patient.
Do not use in a speci cally magnetic environment
(MRI, X-ray, etc.)
CONFORMITYWITH IEC60601-1 (§ 6.8.2 B):
"The manufacturer, assembler, installer or distributor are not
consideredtobe responsiblethemselvesfor theconsequences
on the safety, reliability and characteristics of a device
unless:
• The assembly, tting, extensions, adjustments, modi cations
or repairs have been performed by persons authorized by the
party in question,
• The electrical installation of the corresponding premises
complies with local electrical codes. (e.g. IEC / NEC).
• The device is used in accordance with the instructions for
use."
If the replacement parts used for the periodic servicing by an
approved technician do not comply with the manufacturer’s
speci cations, the manufacturer is not responsible in the event
of an accident.
ThisdevicecomplieswiththerequirementsoftheFDAQuality
System Regulation and the 93/42/EEC European directive
but its operation may be affected by other devices being used
near by, such as diathermy and high frequency electro-surgi-
cal equipment, de brillators, short wave therapy equipment,
mobiletelephones,CBand otherportabledevices,microwave
ovens, induction plates or even remote control toys or any
other electromagnetic interferences which exceed the levels
speci ed by the EN 60601-1-2 standard.
USEAND MAINTENANCE OF DEVICE
Do not open the device while in operation: risk of
electrical shock.
Use the power cord provided, and check that the
electrical characteristics of the power socket used
match those indicated on the manufacturer’s plate
on the rear panel of the machine.
We recommend against the use of extension cords
or adapters, as they are potential sources of sparks
and re.
The Mark 5 Nuvo 8 has an audible alarm to warn
the user of problems. In order that the alarm may
be heard, the maximum distance that the user can
move away from it must be determined to suit the
surrounding noise level.

I. DESCRIPTION
TheMark5Nuvo8isintendedtosupplysupplementaloxygen
to persons requiring low ow oxygen therapy. It is not intended
to be life supporting or life sustaining. Itproducesan oxygen
enriched product by concentrating the oxygen contained in
roomair. It can beusedeitherto administer oxygenwithnasal
cannulas or another probe or mask type of device.
The Mark 5 Nuvo 8 is easy to use.
The single ow adjustment knob allows:
• the device to be easily adjusted to the prescribed ow rate,
• the equipment supplier or medical staff to limit ows to a
speci c ow rate with a built-in locking device.
It has a power failure alarm and an operating fault alarm.
Note: the performances described pertain to the use of
the Mark 5 Nuvo 8 with the accessories recommended by
Nidek Medical Products, Inc.
a. Ensure that the switch (1) is in the 0 (OFF) position.
b. If used with a humidi er:
Unscrew the ask and ll it with water up
to the line (see humidi er instructions). Then
screw the lid on the humidi er ask until there
are no leaks.
c. Connect the oxygen tube to the humidi er outlet nozzle or to
the concentrator outlet if a humidi er has not been prescribed.
Thetubebetweenthecannula and the Mark 5Nuvo8should
belimitedto20meters (60 feet)long,inordertoensurethat
the oxygen ow rate remains within speci cation values.
d. Ensure that all of the parts are connected correctly so as
to avoid leaks.
e. Plug the power cable into a power outlet of the correct
voltage and frequency as de ned on the
manufacturer's technical label (8).
f. Press the power switch ( I / 0 ) to the ON position ( I ).
Thegreenindicatorwill light when theoxygenconcentration
exceeds the set point. Note: After turning the unit off,
the user must wait 3-5 minutes before turning it back
on. System pressure must dissipate before the unit will
properly restart.

prescribed position. In this case, do not force it. Only the
technician or medical personnel are authorized to release
it.Note: View the owmeter in the horizontal plane for
accurate settings.
h. Check that the oxygen ows out of the administration
device (nasal cannulas or other) by placing the ori ce(s) on
the surface of a glass of water. The ow should disturb the
surface of the water.
i. Adjust the nasal cannula to suit your face.
Note:therequiredoxygenconcentrationisnormallyobtained
within ve minutes after the unit is started.
At the end of the treatment, press the I/0 Switch to place it
in the 0 (OFF) position to stop the device. The oxygen enri-
ched air ow continues for approximately one minute after
the device is stopped.
For the equipment supplier or medical staff:
The ow adjustment knob may be locked to limit it to a
speci c predetermined value.

solution of 1 part vinegar diluted with 10 parts water).
• Rinse and dry.
• Check that the humidi er lid seal is in good condition.
• Oxygen tubing and nasal cannula:
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
b. For each new patient:
Follow the instructions from the humidi er manufacturer.

tenance operations to assure continued reliable service from
the Mark 5 Nuvo 8.
Note: If the concentrator unit is to be stored (not used) for
a period of time exceeding 6 months, the 9 volt battery, if
equipped, should be disconnected and removed.
