o Cannula disconnected

When FreeStyle is operating but does not sense breathing, a constant alarm sounds, and the alarm light illuminates after

15 minutes. 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 another source of oxygen as

available, and contact your Equipment Provider.

o FreeStyle’s capacity is exceeded

If your breathing rate causes the capacity of FreeStyle to be exceeded, a rapid alarm sounds every ½ second, and the

alarm light illuminates red intermittently. When this occurs, the concentration of oxygen that FreeStyle is supplying is

outside of the unit specifications. 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.

o General malfunction

If FreeStyle has a general malfunction, a rapid alarm sounds every ½ second, and the alarm light illuminates red

continuously. When this occurs, the concentration of oxygen that FreeStyle is supplying is below unit specifications.

You should change to another source of oxygen as available, and contact your Equipment Provider.

This unit is not to be used for life support. Geriatric, pediatric, or any other patients unable to communicate discomfort while

using this unit may require additional monitoring. Patients with hearing and/or sight impairment(s) may need assistance with

monitoring alarms.
