AirSep Corp. — FreeStyle Service Manual 3-5
3.2.2 Alarm/Service Indicator
When the unit has reached 5,000 hours of use,
a yellow LED will illuminate in the upper left hand corner of the unit’s
keypad/alarm display. Instruct patients to notify the Equipment Provider when this unit
alarms.
As the Equipment Provider, you are responsible for monitoring the life of the compressor,
which must be checked at every 5,000 hours of use.
3.2.3 Nasal Cannula
AirSep recommends a nasal cannula with 7 ft (2.1 m) of tubing, AirSep Part No. CU002-1
or suitable cannula. Other lengths of non-kinking / star channel cannula can be used for a
total length of up to 25 ft (7.6 m) maximum.
3.2.4 Usage During Sleep
AirSep recommends that FreeStyle should be used while sleeping with the guidance of
the prescribing clinician. In addition, some patients who mouth-breathe while asleep may
benefit from the use of a chin strap.
Always follow
the cannula manufacturer’s instructions for proper use. Consult
your licensed health care provider to determine how often the cannula should be
replaced.
Cannula tubing must be non-kinking, which can be used for a total length of up
to 25ft (7.6cm) maximum.
Ensure the cannula is fully inserted and secure. This ensures that the FreeStyle
unit can properly detect inspiration for oxygen delivery.
