If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical emergency, seek medical assistance immediately.
• Cannula disconnected
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.
• Focus's capacity is exceeded
If your breathing rate causes the capacity of Focus to be exceeded, an alarm sounds 3 times every ½ second with a 5
second pause, and the amber alarm light illuminates simultaneously. You should reduce any physical activity, reset alarm
by turning unit off and back on, and then if necessary change to another source of oxygen as available, and contact your
Equipment Provider.
• General malfunction
A general malfunction may be one of the following:
1) An audible alarm sounds (beep,beep) and the red alarm light illuminates.
If this alarm condition occurs, change to another source of oxygen as available, and contact your Equipment
Provider.
2) An audible alarm sounds (beep,beep,beep) and the red alarm light illuminates.
If this alarm occurs, check air inlet and exhaust vents for obstruction. Clear obstruction at air inlet and exhaust.
• Service light
If the Focus unit's normally green light changes to solid amber with no audible alarm, contact your Equipment Provider.
When the service indicator illuminates solid amber, it is time for your Focus unit to be inspected and/or serviced by your
Equipment Provider. After any necessary service and the performance is verified by the Equipment Provider, the service
indicator light will be reset.
