Operating Instructions - AirSep FreeStyle 5 Patient Manual

[Read the Important Safety Rules section before operating this equipment.]

Operating Instructions

1. Locate and position the FreeStyle 5 so that the air inlets and air outlets are not obstructed.
2. Power the unit from (a) the internal battery; (b) AirBelt; (c) DC outlet (i.e. automobile or motor boat); or (d) an AC
outlet (i.e. normal household electric). (Refer to the Power Supplies section of this Patient Manual.)
Use no oil, grease, or petroleum-based or other flammable products with the oxygen-carrying accessories or the FreeStyle
5 unit. Only water based, oxygen compatible lotions or salves should be used. Oxygen accelerates the combustion of
flammable substances.
Do not heat above 140°F (60°C)
It may be necessary to initially connect the AC or DC FreeStyle 5 power supply to the FreeStyle 5 unit before the unit will
operate for the first time on battery power. Your Equipment Provider may have already performed this step for you.
1. Connect your cannula to the oxygen outlet.
2. Lift the dust cover on the unit.
3. Turn the FreeStyle 5 unit on by pressing the 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 button on the unit's keypad for the liter flow prescribed by
your physician. The green LED above the button selected illuminates. Each time you turn on the FreeStyle 5 unit, a brief
alarm sounds. This indicates that FreeStyle 5 is powered for use.
4. To change the pulse flow setting, press the appropriate button. It is normal to hear a difference in sound as you change
the settings.
5. To turn FreeStyle 5 off, press the button corresponding to the pulse flow setting light that is illuminated.
When FreeStyle 5 senses inhalation, oxygen is supplied to you through your cannula.
The time required to reach minimum oxygen concentration after turning on the FreeStyle 5 unit is approximately two
minutes.
