MN123-1 rev F 18
Operating outside of the operational specifications can limit the concentrator's ability to meet Oxygen Concentration
specification. Refer to the specifications section of this manual for storage and operating temperature limits.
The Oxygen Concentrator should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is
unavoidable, the device should be observed to verify normal operation.
No modification of this equipment is permitted.
Use of cables and adapters other than those specified, with the exception of cables and adapters sold by the
manufacturer of the medical electrical equipment as replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased
emissions of decreased immunity of the Oxygen Concentrator.
Use only electrical voltage specified on the specification label affixed to the device.
Do not use extension cords with this unit or connect too many plugs into the same electrical outlet. The use of extension
cords could adversely affect the performance of the device. Too many plugs into one outlet can result in an overload to
the electrical panel causing the breaker/fuse to activate or fire if the breaker or fuse fails to operate.
This unit is not to be used for life support. Geriatric, pediatric, or any other patient unable to communicate discomfort while
using this device may require additional monitoring. Patients with hearing and/or sight impairment(s) may need assistance
with monitoring alarms.
Pulse Dose Node settings must be determined for each patient individually for their needs at rest, during exercise, and
when traveling.
If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical emergency, seek medical assistance immediately.
It may be necessary to initially connect the Universal AC/DC FreeStyle power supply to the FreeStyle unit before the unit
will operate for the first time on battery power. Your Equipment Provider may have already performed this step for you.
Each time the FreeStyle unit is turned on; it cycles through an automatic start-up period for approximately seven minutes.
During this time, it maintains a constant speed regardless of setting. After this period, it is normal to hear a change in
speed at the 1 and 2 settings. This variation in sound represents the differences in oxygen production the unit makes at
each setting.
Ensure the cannula is fully inserted and secure. This ensures that the Oxygen Concentrator can properly detect
inspiration for oxygen delivery. During inhalation, you should hear or feel oxygen flow to the prongs of the nasal cannula.
Always follow the cannula manufacturer’s instructions for proper use. Replace the disposable cannula as recommended
by the cannula manufacturer or your Equipment Provider. Additional supplies are available from your Equipment Provider.
