I. DESCRIPTION
TheMARK5Nuvo[M5C5]isintendedtosupplysupplemental
oxygentopersonsrequiringlowflowoxygentherapy.Itisnot
intended to be life supporting or life sustaining. It produces
oxygenenrichedproductbyconcentratingtheoxygencontained
in room air. It can be used either to administer oxygen with
nasal cannulas or another probe or mask type of device.
The MARK 5 Nuvo [M5C5] is easy to use.
Thesingle flow adjustmentknob allows:
• the device to be easily adjusted to the prescribed flow rate,
• the equipment supplier or medical staff to limit flows to a
specific flow 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 [M5C5] with the accessories
recommended by Nidek Medical Products, Inc.

II. STARTING UP / INSTALLATION
II.1. Use in direct oxygen therapy
a. Ensure that the switch (1) is in the 0(OFF) position.
b. If used with a humidifier:
Unscrew the flask and fill it with water up
totheline(seehumidifierinstructions).Then
screw the lid on the humidifier flask until
there are no leaks.
c. Connect the oxygen tube to the humidifier outlet nozzle or
to the concentrator outlet if a humidifier has not been
prescribed. The tube between the cannula and the MARK 5
Nuvo [M5C5] should be limited to 20 meters (60 feet)
long, in order to ensure that the oxygen flow rate remains
withinspecificationvalues.
d. Ensure that all of the parts are connected correctly so as to
avoidleaks.
e. Plug the power cable into a power outlet of the correct
voltage and frequency as defined on the
manufacturer's technical label (8).
f. Pressthepowerswitch(I/0) totheONposition (I). The
green indicator will light when the oxygen concentration
exceeds the set point.
g. Turn the flow adjustment knob (4) to the prescribed
value. This knob may have already been locked in the
medically prescribed position. In this case, do not force it.
Onlythetechnicianormedicalpersonnelareauthorizedto
release it. Note: View the flowmeter in the horizontal
plane for accurate settings.
h. Check that the oxygen flows out of the administration
device (nasal cannulas or other) by placing the orifice(s) on
the surface of a glass of water. The flow should disturb the
surface of the water.
i. Adjust the nasal cannula to suit your face.
Remark: the required oxygen concentration is normally
obtained within five 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
enriched air flow continues for approximately one minute
after the device is stopped.
For the equipment supplier or medical staff:
The flow adjustment knob may be locked to limit it to a
specific predetermined value.

III. CLEANING - MAINTENANCE
III.1. Cleaning
Only the outside of the MARK 5 Nuvo [M5C5] is to be
cleaned,withasoft,dryclothor,ifnecessary,adampsponge,
thenthoroughlydriedwithwipesandanalcoholbasedsolution.
Acetone, solvents or any other inflammable products must
not be used. Do not use abrasive powders.
The removable cabinet air filter (7) must be cleaned in warm
waterandhouseholddetergentweeklyorafterapproximately
100hours of use. More frequentcleaning isrecommended in

.
II.2. Daily disinfection
Because there is a bacterial filter inside the device, daily
disinfection concerns only the external oxygen therapy
accessories: humidifier, probes, nasal cannulas (refer to the
respective instructions for use).
The device must be switched off when alcohol based
solutions are used.
a. The following minimum guidelines must be observed:
•Humidifier : (If prescribed by a physician)
Daily:
• Empty the water from the humidifier.
• Rinse the humidifier flask under running water.
• Fill humidifier up to the mark with distilled water.
Regularly:
• Disinfect the humidifier parts by immersing them in a
disinfectantsolution (in general,we recommend usingwater
containing a small amount of chlorine bleach).
• Rinse and dry.
• Check that the humidifier lid seal is in good condition.
•Oxygen tubing and nasal cannula:
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
b. For each new patient:
The humidifier must be sterilized if possible or changed.
The MARK 5 Nuvo [M5C5] must be cleaned and
disinfected as per the above instructions. The bacterial
filter inside the device should be changed. The cabinet air
filtermay be changed as well. Theentire oxygen adminis-
tration circuit (oxygen therapy nasal cannulas, etc.) must
be changed.
III.3. Maintenance
Nospecialmaintenanceneedstobecarriedoutbythepatient.
Your equipment supplier performs periodic maintenance
operations to assure continued reliable service from the
MARK 5 Nuvo [M5C5].

IV.3. Operating principle
The compressor sends filtered ambient air to a rotary distri-
bution valve, which allows compressed air to pass to the
columninproduction.Thecolumnscontainamolecularsieve,
whosefunctionistoadsorbthenitrogenandthusallowoxygen
to pass.
The oxygen enriched product is then directed to a pressure
reducing valve through the adjustable flow meter to the
oxygenoutletfitting.
During this time, the column which is being "regenerated" is
connected to the ambient air and flow of oxygen enriched
productispassedthroughit(fromthecolumn"inproduction").
In this way, when one column is in production, the other is in
a nitrogen desorption or "regeneration" phase. The oxygen
enriched product finally passes through a bacterial filter
located prior to the oxygen outlet fitting.
IV.5. OCSI (oxygen concentration status indication
module)function
IV.5.1. Operating principle
TheOxygenMonitor(6)isanelectronicmodulecapableof
checking the effective oxygen concentration supplied by
the MARK 5 Nuvo [M5C5] concentrator.
The Oxygen Monitor measures the concentration and
activates an audible and visual alarm if it falls below the
alarm set point percentage.
When the MARK 5 Nuvo [M5C5] is started, the indicator
lightsoperate as follows:
IV.5.2. Green indicator
Thegreen indicatorlight indicates that power is applied to
the concentrator and that it is ready to provide oxygen
enriched air to the patient. To be lighted, it is necessary
that the concentrator power plug be inserted into the wall
outlet, that the I/O (On/Off) switch be actuated and that
the oxygen concentration has reached the alarm set-point

(Some models may have other values.)
IV.5.3. Red indicator
IV.5.4. Maintenance of the Device Alarms
•No specialmaintenanceis required. The alarm set-point is
factory set and the setting cannot be adjusted. Models
operating at 50 Hz are set at 83% and 60 Hz models are set
at 85%.
• The equipment supplier checks that the device is still
operatingcorrectlywhentheroutinechecksareperformed
on the MARK 5 Nuvo [M5C5].
IV.4. Alarms - Safety devices
IV.4.1. Alarms
• Novoltage detection:
In the event of a loss of mains power, a continuous audible
alarm is activated and the green light turns off. Test alarm by
actuating the I/O (On/Off) switch when the power cord is not
plugged into the wall receptacle.
• Process fault:
In the case of a process fault, a visible and audible alarm is
activated (continuous red light or lighted alarm and audible
alarm, see p. 7).
IV.4.2. Safety devices
• Compressormotor:
Thermal safety is ensured by a thermal switch situated in the
stator winding (145 ± 5 oC).
• Ambientairvalve:
In the case of a negative pressure in the molecular sieve
columns, this valve allows ambient air to enter.
• Electrical protection of the MARK 5 Nuvo [M5C5]:
A5Acircuitbreakerisincorporatedintothefrontcabinetofall
230V models. A 10 A circuit breaker is included with 115V
models.
• Safety valve:
This is fitted on the compressor outlet and is calibrated to 2.7
bar (40 psig).
• Class II devices with insulated castings (EN60601-1
standard)
The red indicator light is used to warn the patient of a
system fault. The two events that can cause the red
indicator to be lighted are low oxygen concentration and
loss of mains power. The low oxygen concentration
warningwilllightwhentheoxygenconcentrationsetpoint
level is not reached. When the red indicator light is lighted
for 15 minutes (±2 minutes), a continuous audible alarm is
activated. Call the equipment supplier to service the device.
