Purity: two numbers

CAIRE’s manual specifies 90% (+5.5/−3%), while its product web page says 92% from 2 to 9 LPM. We can’t reconcile these. Ask your supplier to check purity with an oxygen analyzer at your prescribed flow if it matters for your oxygen targets.

Running cost

At 600 W for 24 hours, that’s 14.4 kWh a day, or roughly 438 kWh in a 30.4-day month. See the electricity cost guide.

Verdict

From the documents, the Intensity 10 is the heavy-duty pick: dual flow, high altitude rating and long tubing. It’s heavier and larger than the DeVilbiss 1025DS, which is the lighter 10 LPM option.

Frequently asked questions

Can the NewLife Intensity 10 supply two people?
Yes. Its dual-flow design can supply two patients at once, in any combination up to a total of 10 LPM, per CAIRE's manual. Each patient needs their own prescription.
What purity does the Intensity 10 deliver?
The manual gives 90% (+5.5/−3%). CAIRE's web page says 92% from 2 to 9 LPM. We report both because the sources differ.
How far can the tubing run?
The manual lists a maximum tubing length of 200 ft, with an outlet pressure of 20 psig.
Does it work at altitude?
The manual lists −1,250 to 10,000 ft, but flowmeter accuracy may be off by up to 13% above 8,000 ft.
What maintenance does it need?
Clean the intake filter weekly and replace the felt filter yearly, per CAIRE's cut sheet.
