AirSep MN171-1 - Manual (Page 11)

MN171-1 Rev. A 02/14
3.0 Operating Instructions
3.1 General Instructions
It is important that patients thoroughly understand how to operate AirSep’s Focus unit.
This enables proper treatment as prescribed by a qualified, licensed physician. You must explain
that the purpose of this therapy is to alleviate symptoms. If patients experience any discomfort or if
the unit alarms, they must notify their Equipment Provider
and/or physician immediately.
You, as the Equipment Provider, are responsible to ensure that each patient receives the Focus
Patient Manual. Explain each step in the operation of the unit to the patient with reference to the patient
manual.
Instruct patients that AirSep recommends that Focus should be used while sleeping only under the
direction of their clinician. In addition, some patients who tend to be mouth-breathers may benefit from
the use of a chin strap.
3.1.1 Connecting to Focus’s Power Inlet
Locate the arrow marking at the top of the connector. Insert connector (Figure 1) into the Focus
power inlet (Figure 2) with the arrow on the side of the connector facing outward. Do not force
the connector into the power inlet, as it can be inserted only one way. This ensures that neither
the unit nor the power accessories are damaged.
Turn the Focus unit on by pressing the power switch to the on position (l).

3.1.2 Power Sources available to Focus
3.1.2.1 Focus operates from four different power sources.
NOTE: Always connect to the Focus power inlet first before connecting to a power
supply.
1) Connecting Focus to AC electrical power
When you are near an AC outlet, you may choose to operate Focus with the universal power
supply rather than the battery.Connect the cord on the power supply labeled as DC OUT To
Focus into the Focus unit’s power inlet,as shown in Figure 3. Do not force the plug, as it should
be inserted only one way. Plug the 3-prong AC cord from the power supply into any standard
outlet.
Turn the Focus unit on by pressing the power switch to the on position (
l).
