Nasal Cannula - AirSep Focus Portable Patient Manual

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

Nasal Cannula

A nasal cannula with tubing are used to de liver oxygen from the Focus unit to the user . The tubing is conn ected 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.
