Performance Warning
The performance of FreeStyle 5 can be affected by two conditions.
1) If the user's breathing rate causes the FreeStyle 5 unit's capacity to be exceeded.
The amount of oxygen that FreeStyle 5 supplies is dependent on the flow control switch
setting and the breathing rate. If the breathing rate is too fast for the flow selector setting,
the capacity of FreeStyle 5 can be exceeded. The patient should reduce activity or consider
locating another source of oxygen.
2) The second condition that can result in decreased performance is a general malfunction
(i.e. High temperature, High or Low pressure).
If either of these events occurs, an alarm sounds every five seconds. If
breathing is too fast for the flow selector setting and FreeStyle 5 capacity is
exceeded, the yellow light flashes. If a general malfunction occurs,
a continuous red alarm light appears

an intermittent yellow alarm light. When this occurs, oxygen
concentration is outside specifications. The patient should reduce activity,
then if necessary use another source of oxygen as available. Contact your
Equipment Provider.
