MN123-1 rev F 27
o Cannula disconnected
When FreeStyle is operating but does not sense breathing, a constant alarm sounds, and the alarm light illuminates after
15 minutes. If this occurs, check the connection from the cannula to the FreeStyle unit, make sure that the nasal cannula
is positioned properly on your face, and ensure that you are breathing through your nose. (Your physician may
recommend the use of a chin strap if needed.) If the alarm continues to sound, change to another source of oxygen as
available, and contact your Equipment Provider.
o FreeStyle’s capacity is exceeded
If your breathing rate causes the capacity of FreeStyle to be exceeded, a rapid alarm sounds every ½ second, and the
alarm light illuminates red intermittently. When this occurs, the concentration of oxygen that FreeStyle is supplying is
outside of the unit specifications. You should reduce any physical activity, reset alarm by turning unit off and back on,
and then if necessary change to another source of oxygen as available, and contact your Equipment Provider.
o General malfunction
If FreeStyle has a general malfunction, a rapid alarm sounds every ½ second, and the alarm light illuminates red
continuously. When this occurs, the concentration of oxygen that FreeStyle is supplying is below unit specifications.
You should change to another source of oxygen as available, and contact your Equipment Provider.
