• Cannula disconnected
When FreeStyle is operating but does not sense breathing within a predetermined time period, a constant
alarm sounds, and the red alarm/service light illuminates. If this occurs, check the connection from the
cannula to the FreeStyle 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 continues to sound, change to an alternate source of oxygen, and contact your
Equipment Provider.
• FreeStyle's capacity is exceeded
If your breathing rate causes the capacity of FreeStyle to be exceeded, a rapid alarm sounds, and the red
alarm/service light illuminates intermittently. When this occurs, the concentration of oxygen that FreeStyle is
supplying is outside of the unit specifications. You should reduce any activity, change to another source of
oxygen, and contact your Equipment Provider.
• General malfunction
If FreeStyle has a general malfunction, a rapid alarm sounds, and the red alarm light illuminates
continuously. When this occurs, the concentration of oxygen that FreeStyle is supplying is outside of the
unit specifications. You should change to another source of oxygen and contact your Equipment Provider.
