Nasal Cannula Gb18-19 - AirSep Focus Patient Manual

Focus™
[Read the Important Safety Rules section before operating this equipment.]
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula with tubing is used to deliver oxygen from the Focus unit to the
user. The tubing is connected to the unit's oxygen outlet (See Figure 18).
AirSep recommends a nasal cannula with 2.1 m (7 ft) of tubing, AirSep Part No.
CU002-1, or other suitable cannula. Other lengths of non-kinking/star channel
cannula can be used for a total length of up to 7.6 m (25 ft) maximum. When
Focus is operating but does not sense breathing for 15 minutes, a constant alarm
sounds, and the amber alarm light illuminates simultaneously. If this occurs,
check the connection from the cannula to the Focus unit, make sure that the
nasal cannula is positioned properly on your face, and ensure that you are
breathing through your nose. (Your doctor may recommend the use of a chin
strap if needed.) If the alarm condition continues, change to another source of
oxygen as available, and contact your Equipment Provider.
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.
