properly; consult the Troubleshooting section in this manual.
If you cannot resolve the problem, consult your Equipment
Provider.


Cannula disconnected
When Focus is operating but does not sense breathing for 15 minutes,
a constant alarm sounds, and the amber alarm light illuminates
simultaneously. If this occurs, check the connection from the cannula to the
Focus 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 condition
continues, change to another source of oxygen, as available, and contact
your Equipment Provider.

Focus’s capacity is exceeded
If your breathing rate causes the capacity of Focus to be exceeded, an
alarm sounds 3 times every ½ second with a 5 second pause, and the
amber alarm light illuminates simultaneously. 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.
