It is very important to select only the prescribed level of oxygen.
Change the pulse flow selection only under the guidance of your
physician.
Alarm/Light Indicators
When the FreeStyle unit senses inhalation, a pulse of oxygen is delivered
through the nasal cannula. The green light on the unit’s control panel blinks each
time a breath is detected.
Additionally, when the unit is operating and simultaneously being charged
through the AC or DC power supply, the FreeStyle 5 unit’s battery
gauge/indicator(s) display the charge level of the battery (25% to 100% state of
charge) and remain on for approximately 2 ½ hours after reaching a full charge.
An audible alarm sounds if FreeStyle 5 has a low battery, if the cannula is
disconnected, or if performance of the unit is outside specifications. The light and
audible alarm conditions are explained in detail below and summarized on the
chart later in this section of the manual.
In the event of an alarm or you observe FreeStyle 5 is not
working properly; consult the Troubleshooting section in this
manual. If you cannot resolve the problem, consult your
Equipment Provider.
If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical emergency,
seek medical assistance immediately.
• Start-Up
A brief alarm sounds at start-up. FreeStyle 5 begins to operate when the
alarm stops.
• Low Battery
As the battery power approaches a low level, a brief alarm sounds
intermittently, and the yellow 25% Battery gauge / indicator (Figure 12)
light also illuminates intermittently. When this occurs, connect FreeStyle 5
to a DC power outlet or to an AC power outlet, or change to another
source of oxygen within two minutes. When FreeStyle 5 is connected to
DC power outlet or AC power outlet, the unit operates while recharging
