delivery to your business location. Note any sign of damage,
external or internal, on the delivery receipt, and report it
directly to both the freight company and AirSep Corporation
immediately.
■ Check the operation of each Focus unit before delivery to a
patient. Always operate the unit for a minimum of 10 minutes,
and check that the oxygen concentration level is within
specifications, as described in Section 5 of this manual.
■ Deliver Focus units only to patients authorized by a physician’s
prescription. Focus must not be used as a life-supporting
device.
■ Instruct patients how to use Focus in conjunction with the

Providers if they experience any signs of discomfort.
■ Be available to service each patient at any time.
