FreeStyle 5™
Alarm/Light Indicators
When the FreeStyle unit senses inhalation, a pulse of oxygen is delivered through
the nasal cannula. The green light on the unit's control panel blinks each time a
breath is detected.
Additionally, when the unit is operating and simultaneously being charged through
the AC or DC power supply, the FreeStyle 5 unit's battery gauge/indicator(s)
display the charge level of the battery (25% to 100% state of charge) and remain
on for approximately 2 ½ hours after reaching a full charge.
An audible alarm sounds if FreeStyle 5 has a low battery, if the cannula is
disconnected, or if performance of the unit is outside specifications. The light and
audible alarm conditions are explained in detail below and summarized on the
chart later in this section of the manual.
•
Start-Up
A brief alarm sounds at start-up. FreeStyle 5 begins to operate when the
alarm stops.
•
Low Battery
As the battery power approaches a low level, a brief alarm sounds
intermittently, and the yellow 25% Battery gauge / indicator (Figure 12) light
also illuminates intermittently. When this occurs, connect FreeStyle 5 to a
DC power outlet or to an AC power outlet, or change to another source of
oxygen within two minutes. When FreeStyle 5 is connected to DC power
outlet or AC power outlet, the unit operates while recharging FreeStyle 5's
battery simultaneously. The level of battery charge is indicated by the
battery gauge/indicator(s).
MN167-1 rev. D
It is very important to select only the prescribed level of
oxygen. Change the pulse flow selection only under the
guidance of your physician.
In the event of an alarm or you observe FreeStyle 5 is not
working properly; consult the Troubleshooting section in this
manual. If you cannot resolve the problem, consult your
Equipment Provider.
If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical
emergency, seek medical assistance immediately.
