Filter
Air Intake Filter
At least one time each week, remove the cover on the lower front of the unit, and
wash the air intake filter, which is positioned on the inside of the cover. (refer to
filter section of this manual) Your Equipment Provider may advise you to clean it
more often, depending upon your operating conditions. Follow these steps to
properly clean the air intake filter:
1. Remove the filter from the air intake filter cover, and wash it in a warm
solution of soap and water.
2. Rinse the filter thoroughly, and remove excess water with a soft,
adsorbent towel. Ensure that the filter is dry before replacing it.
3. Replace the dry filter.
Do not operate FreeStyle 5 without the air intake filter in place. If a
second filter is provided, insert the "replacement" filter before you
clean the dirty filter.
AirSep does not recommend the sterilization of this equipment.
Carrying Bag
To clean the carrying bag and strap, brush only with warm soapy water (do not
saturate the bag), then allow to air dry. Do not machine wash or dry the bag.
FreeStyle 5 Accessories
In addition to the nasal cannula, AirSep recommends that you do not use
accessories with FreeStyle 5 other than those listed below as supplied by AirSep
