Airsep NewLife Elite - Product Review

Last update on 18 December 2021 by Oxygen Times

One of the earliest entries in Oxygen Concentrator industry; Airsep NewLife Elite has been a consistent performer known for its reliability.

AirSep Newlife Elite

What you would like about Airsep NewLife Elite:

  • Rugged body quality
  • Outlet pressure of 8 psi as compared to 5.5 psi of Philips and Invacare.
  • Many happy customers across the world
  • The visual indicator of low oxygen purity.
  • High quality compressor.

What you won’t:

  • 48dB of sound level as compared to 40dB of new concentrators in market
  • About 30% heavier and bulky than most of the new competitors
  • Difficult to recognize alarms
  • One of the highest power consuming machines in market.
  • Requires a separate connector to connect Oxygen Tube directly to the machine

Size & Weight

The machine is quite bulky with dimensions of 28.5" H x 15.7" W x 14.5" D and weight of 24.5kg (54lbs) as compared to any of the new oxygen concentrators by Philips, Invacare, DeVilbiss and some new models of AirSep itself.

Oxygen Purity

Standard purity like any other concentrator of 90% (-3% / +5.5%) in operating range.

Power Consumption

With 350W, Elite is definitely not the most power efficient machine in market. Uses about 10-15% more power than DeVilbiss and Invacare.

Flow

Provides continuous flow starting from 1 LPM to 5 LPM in increments of 0.5 LPM. Uses a floating ball type flowmeter.

AirSep floating ball flowmeter

Humidifier Connector

The humidifier is screwed directly on the Oxygen outlet of the machine. Some people have reported difficulty in fixing the humidifier. Very easy to clean once fixed.

AirSep Newlife Elite Humidifier Connector

Oxygen Outlet

Newlife Elite comes with a separate connector which has to be fixed in place of the humidifier bottle to connect Oxygen Tubing directly to the machine.

Sound level

With sound level of +48 dB, Elite has new competitors who have sound level of 40dB.

Filters

The external cabinet filter adds an extra layer of protection in dusty environment and is easy to remove and clean. The machine has an internal filter too.

AirSep Newlife Elite Back

Altitude

up to 10,000 ft. (3,048m) above sea level

Alarms

Battery Test, Power Failure, High and Low Pressure, Low Concentration alarms coded in different audio and visual combinations which are not very easy for a patient or caretaker to understand. Amber light illuminates if the concentration of Oxygen falls below therapeutic level.

AirSep Newlife Elite Visual Alarm

Power panel

The power panel contains hour-meter, circuit breaker and on/off switch

AirSep Newlife Elite Power Panel

Base

Very strong base just above the castors. Protects the machine from hard surfaces.

Top 5 Oxygen Concentrators in Newlife Elite' competition

  1. Inogen At Home
  2. AirSep VisionAire 5
  3. Philips Respironics Everflo Q
  4. Invacare Perfect O2
  5. DeVilbiss Healthcare 5 Liter Compact

Top 3 comparison with AirSep Newlife Elite

  1. AirSep Newlife Elite v/s AirSep VisionAire 5
  2. AirSep Newlife Elite v/s Invacare Perfect O2
  3. AirSep Newlife Elite v/s Philips Respironics Everflo Q vs DeVilbiss Healthcare 5 Liter Compact

One of the most dependable oxygen concentrators in market with lot of happy customers across the world; but the concentrator lags behind in terms of weight, size, power consumption & sound level.

May be AirSep is still selling this machine due to the confidence that distributors have on the reliability of the machine.

Also it seems that AirSep took all the currently listed negative aspects of this machine into consideration for the design of their new concentrators like VisionAire and Companion [Caire].

May i know how to do if my flow meter can adjusted to 5 LPM as usual? Now maximum is only 2.5 LPM. Thanks.
Oxygen Times
Replied on: 2020-10-31 at 09:02:11
Hi Carmen, if you are not able to reach 5 LPM in your AirSep Newlife Elite even after rotating the knob to max then this could be due to leakage, restriction in airflow, reduced air intake, or a faulty compressor. All you can do here is remove the humidifier & cannula and then check if you are still facing the issue. If the issue is resolved then buy a new humidifier/cannula and if the issue persists then you need to visit the service centre for repair. Hope this helps!

Hi, My mother is using airsep elite oxygen concentrator from last 3 years,recently the flow is not going above 1 lpm, current reading of the machine is 19200. Could you please advise me what colud be reason for this. And generally upto how much reading this machine works well.
Oxygen Times
Replied on: 2017-11-13 at 02:11:32
Hi Sunil, there could be many reasons for this. You can try changing the filters and if that does not work then you should call your equipment provider for a detailed analysis. Coming to your second question, the life of the machine depends on how well you have kept it. The maximum number of hours that we have seen NewLife Elite run is 26,000. Hope this helps!

Hi, my husband has this concentrator, and i sleep in the room with him. I cough so much when i am in the room, lungs burn, sinus burn and run, both dry, What would cause this as others that come in room have same issue. He needs oxygen 24/7 so taking it out is not an option. Service has checked it and says it is working perfect. Any ideal this is happening? Thank you, this one has a mister on it, thanks
Oxygen Times
Replied on: 2017-06-01 at 02:04:47
This can not be due to Oxygen Concentrator. Are you sure there isn't something else in the room that is causing this?
SHOWKAT malik
Replied from India on: 2018-01-23 at 23:00:25
Sometimes these problems are observed. The best possible reason is that when machine e is on, it gives oxygen through the outlet but at same time it releases nitrogen in atmosphere. If your room has not much ventilation and you sleep near the machine, it could lead to problems like that. Best way is to keep machine outside room with large oxygen tubing and use external control like extension cord for on off.

My mother is a sarcoidosis patient and has been using the Airsep NewLife Elite for the last 8 years. Last week, the machine stopped working all of a sudden and we started hearing the power failure alarm whenever the button was switched on. We took the machine to the service center and were told that the Compressor of the machine had got burnt as well as the Oxygen producing capacity of the machine was nearing its saturation point. We were advised to buy a new OC instead of getting a new compressor for the old machine because there wasn't too much of a cost difference between the 2 options. Can you please suggest which of the 2 options we should go with?
Oxygen Times

Hi Sahil, how old is your machine and what is the hour meter reading show?
Sahil Mehta
Replied from India on: 2016-11-24 at 04:37:24
The machine was bought in 2008 and the meter reading is 20,630 hours. The repair estimate given to us was around Rs. 42,000 from the dealer we had bought it from. Whereas, some local repair shops in Darya Ganj are quoting around Rs. 30,000 (for replacing the compressor as well as the oxygen cylinders). As against that, the new machines are available starting around 42,000 for Nidek Nuvo Lite, going upto around 45,000 for Philips Everflo and around Rs. 57,000 for the Airsep Newlife Elite. No dealer in Delhi has the Philips Everflo Q model or the Airsep VisionAire 5 model. Also, 99% of the dealers that I spoke to (I used your dealer finder tool) are pushing the Philips Everflo model but are also reluctantly admitting that the quality of this machine is no-where close to the Airsep Newlife Elite which we earlier had. The only pros that they are trying to sell Philips on are the reputation of Philips brand as well as the fact that this machine comes with 3 years warranty as opposed to other models that come with 2 years. In the light of all of the above points, do you suggest a compressor

Hi Sahil, your machine is quite old and operation of more than 20,000 hours means soon you will have to get the sieve beds replaced too. It would be better to go for a new machine than spending on this one. Hope this helps.
Sahil Mehta
Replied from India on: 2016-11-25 at 01:51:32
Thanks Admin. If we should buy a new machine - will the extra 11-12k that we will spend for the Newlife Elite be worthwhile (against buying a Philips Everflo)?
Oxygen Times

Hi Sahil, both are almost equally good machines. It's totally upto you which machine you want to buy.

Hi Cyril, if you messed around with the flowmeter you don't need to worry about anything but if you have changed pressure of the internal regulator you will have to contact your service provider for its calibration.

What is the importance of the oxygen pressure rating? how does higher pressure help? is it easier to breathe or longer tube supported? how much difference does 5.5psi vs 7-8 psi make?
Oxygen Times
Replied on: 2016-04-23 at 23:42:13
hi Arun, pressure does not make much of a difference in 5 LPM concentrators. Higher pressure results in a better throw and is useful when using high flow concentrators 8-10 LPM. It also makes up for the pressure drop when the patient is using longer tubes.

Le voyant orange allume lorsque la pureté de l'oxygène de la machine tombe au-dessous de 85%. Habituellement, cela se produit quand il ya une nécessité de remplacer le filtre, mais puisque la machine a fonctionné pendant plus de 24000 heures, il peut y avoir une autre faute dans la machine comme des lits contaminés de tamis, la faiblesse de compresseur, les fuites, etc. Il est fortement recommandé de contactez votre fournisseur de service de l'équipement dans ce cas.
(English Translation using Google Translate: The orange light illuminates when the oxygen purity of the machine drops below 85%. Usually this happens when there is a need to replace the filter but since the machine has run for more than 24000 hours, there may be some other fault in the machine like contaminated sieve beds, weak compressor, leakage, etc. It is highly recommended to contact your equipment service provider in this case.)
