Nasal Cannula - AirSep Focus Patient Manual

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

Nasal Cannula

A nasal cannula with tubing are 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 7 ft (2.1 m) 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 25 ft (7.6 m) 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 physician 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.
Ensure the cannula is fully inserted and secure. This ensures
that the Focus unit can properly detect inspiration for oxygen
delivery.
