Last modified: February 22, 2018 Following the success of; Airsep VisionAire was launched as one of the best continuous flow stationary oxygen concentrator with some major spec improvements like power consumption, weight, size and more. Related: Flow Provides continuous flow starting from 1 LPM to 5 LPM in increments of 0.5 LPM. Airsep’s floating ball type flow-meter is very reliable and accurately shows the flow that is being ‘delivered’ by the machine as compared to the close competitor Nidek’s Nuvo-lite which shows what is ‘set’ rather than what is being ‘delivered’. However, the flow is ‘little’ difficult to adjust at exact LPM as compared to Nidek’s user friendly lockable flow control knob which locks at all intervals of flow. Alarms No text display of alarms – therefore, one needs to look at the table of alarms to see which kind of alarm is represented by the visual or audible indicators.
Alarms in Airsep Visionaire Alarm Type Visual Audible No Power None Intermittent One beep Low O2 Amber Light on Intermittent Two beeps Low Pressure None Intermittent Three beeps High Pressure None Intermittent Four beeps High Temperature None Intermittent Five beeps No flow None Intermittent Six beeps Amber light illuminates for 5 minutes after switching on the machine till the purity of Oxygen reaches a particular Oxygen saturation level. However, it was observed that the machine reached at 94% purity within 1 minute only. The company claims that all the alarms get activated after 5 minutes of operation. The machine gives audible alarm if Oxygen purity goes below therapeutic levels (85%) for more than 15 minutes. The visual indicator turns ON whenever the Oxygen purity drops below therapeutic levels during operation. Warm Up Time 5 minutes Humidifier The humidifier is placed above back panel of the machine & has an elastic belt to hold the bottle which loosens up & looks very ugly after few months of regular use.
The humidifier has another tubing which gets kinked after regular use; will be a source of complaint. Humidifier in AirSep Newlife Elite is much easier to clean than in VisionAire. Sound level Very silent machine with 40dB of sound level Filters VisionAire doesn’t have a cabinet/external filter unlike any of the competitors and Airsep claims that the internal filters last as long as the life of the machine making it maintenance free.
This absence of cabinet filter may become a cause of frequent service requirement in high dust environment. Maintenance The absence of cabinet filter in the machine makes it the only maintenance free machine in market as weekly cabinet filter cleaning is not required. Altitude up to 10,000 ft. (3,048m) above sea level Compressor The compressor is manufactured by Airsep itself; unlike any of the major competitors. The compressor is serviceable and need not be disposed off in case of failure. Front panel Front Panel is inclined for easy view.
Power panel Hour-meter shows the numbers of hours of operation, White colored Circuit Breaker trips to protect the machine in case of circuit failures - can be pressed to reset after trip. Oxygen Outlet Nicely designed for suitable grip. Backview Top 5 Oxygen Concentrators in VisionAire 5' competition. Inogen At Home.

After a lot of research & development Airsep has finally come up with a reliable model of VisionAire; our sources revealed that the first few stocks had failure issues but all of them have been resolved by now.
The machine is suitable for patients who require supplemental Oxygen at home and who consider sound level, weight and power consumption of their Oxygen machine as very important factors. VisionAire also has an optional air-outlet model for aerosol treatment which makes it a 1 box solution for oxygen therapy and nebulisation. My father has used both Elite and Visionaire (currently using). It is a myth that the Visionaire machine is filter less.
It has compressor caps which has 2 filters which are very hard to get atleast in Delhi and each costs Rs. With the dusty environment of Delhi I was air blowing the machine from the inside every 2 weeks with the filters becoming completely black and choked in a month after replacement.
I learnt about the filters when the compressor and circuit boards of the machine shorted due to heat generated by compressor's choked filters. Also in Feb 2017, I got Visionaire's compressor changed for Rs. 18000/- but the compressor shorted on 15th May, the new one didnt even last 100 days. Can you let me know if the Visionaire compressor can be serviced anywhere in Delhi? Please consider this request as urgent.
I just purchased an Airsep Visionaire 5. My home tends to be dusty.

I was alarmed to read that this might cause problems since the machine appears not have a filter that is changeable by the end user. I notice that the filters seem very affordable. Is there a way for me to change the filter myself? Is there any guide to doing this online? Would it pull in less dust if I put the machine elevated on a table? I have a one year warranty on the machine, but it's predicted lifespan for my use was 4 years.
I'd appreciate any advice you had. Hi Crystal, you are right this is a low pressure alarm. This can be due to leakage in the machine, reduced air intake or fault in the air compressor or circuit board. You need to contact your equipment provider regarding this.
Are you using a 10m cannula? If yes, it generally tangles on the floor, you need to find a way to keep it according to the place concentrator is kept in. If you feel that the flattening or tangling of cannula is restricting the flow then you can replace it with a new one. Hope this helps. Hi Catherine, in your case, most likely the machine s giving high pressure (4-beep) alarm or high temperature (5-beep) alarm. If you are getting a 4 beep alarm then the problem is due to clogged filter, faulty sieve beds / solenoid valves / circuit board. If you are getting a 5 beep alarm, then you probably have restricted air flow or faulty cabinet fan.
This could also be due to overheating of machine because of placement in improper location. Try keeping the machine 1-2 feet away from the walls in a well-ventilated place, if the problem persists then you will have to contact your service provider.
In your case, any of these four mentioned reasons could be causing the alarm to trigger. This can only be solved by a trained professional by ruling out the cases. Please note that these 4 are not the solutions in cases unlike yours, sometimes there is leakage in the machine while sometimes other components like compressor, cabinet fan, pressure transducer, I/O switch, electrical connection, buzzer, capacitor, mixing tank, flowmeter may be at fault. Usually AirSep importers have there own service centers; you can contact any of the top 3 AirSep importers in or use our for finding dealers (some of which have their own service centers) if you are not based in Delhi. Hello Sridharan, this is certainly not the normal functionality of AirSep VisionAire.

Tarun has correctly stated the problem and its solution, the issue may be due to restriction in humidifier or cannula. If the issue resolves by the solution Tarun mentioned then you should either replace the humidifier / cannula or clean its holes. This can also happen due to other reasons like reduced air intake, leakage, weak compressor or faulty circuit board; for all these reasons you will have to call your equipment provider. Dear Sir/Madam, Hope you are doing well. This is in reference to the above mentioned subject, my father is pulmonary fibrosis patient, and currently using Visionaire oxygen concentrator. There is one meter on power panel of the concentrator called Hour-meter, which shows the numbers of hours of operation. The Visionaire oxygen concentrator which my father is using currently, hour-meter shows '21371' numbers of hours operation.
My query is that, has Visionaire oxygen concentrator any limitation of numbers of hours of operation? Please may kindly advise for same. Your Truly, Kashif Ul Haq +92322.594.
