are available from your Equipment Provider.
Do not position the Concentrator so that it is difficult to access the power cord.
The concentrator should be located as to avoid pollutants or fumes.
Cannula tubing must be non-kinking, which can be used for a total length of up to 25 ft (7.6 m) maximum.
Ensure the cannula is fully inserted and secure. This ensures that the FreeStyle 5 unit can properly detect inspiration for
oxygen delivery.
Storing your FreeStyle 5 for extended periods of time at high temperatures or with a fully charged or completely
discharged battery can degrade its overall battery life.
Depending upon the temperature of the FreeStyle 5 battery, it can take several minutes for the charging cycle to start
after connecting to power. This is a normal condition and is intended for safe charging.
The FreeStyle 5 battery does not need to be fully discharged before recharging. It is recommended to charge the
FreeStyle 5 battery after each use.
Charging may take several minutes after connecting the power to initiate, depending on the battery's internal operating
temperature. This is a normal condition and is intended for safe battery charging. This circumstance is more likely when
the battery has been fully discharged.
