Operating Instructions - AirSep FreeStyle Patient Manual

Operating Instructions

1. Locate and position FreeStyle so that the air inlets and air outlets are not obstructed. The unit, particularly
the air intake area, should be located in a well-ventilated space.
2. Power the unit from (a) the internal battery; (b) AirBelt; (c) DC outlet; or (d) an AC outlet. (Refer to the
Power Supplies section of this Patient Manual.)
a. Use the internal battery only; or
b. Use the AirBelt by connecting it to the FreeStyle unit's inlet.
c. If you are in an automobile, connect one end of the DC power supply into the FreeStyle unit's inlet and
the other end into the DC outlet; or
d. If you are near an AC outlet, connect one end of the AC power supply into the FreeStyle unit's inlet
and the other end into the AC outlet.
3. Connect your cannula to the oxygen outlet.
4. Lift the dust cover on the unit.
5. Turn the FreeStyle unit on by pressing the 1, 2, or 3 button on the unit's keypad for the liter flow
prescribed by your physician. The green LED above the button selected illuminates. Each time you turn
on the FreeStyle unit, a brief alarm sounds. This indicates that FreeStyle is powered for use.
6. To change the pulse flow setting, press the appropriate button. You will observe a change in compressor
speed, which is normal.
7. To turn FreeStyle off, press the button corresponding to the pulse flow setting light that is illuminated.
When FreeStyle senses inhalation, oxygen is supplied to you through your cannula. The duration of this
pulse flow is dependent upon the flow setting.
The time required to reach maximum oxygen concentration after turning on the FreeStyle unit is
approximately two minutes.
