CAIRE FreeStyle Comfort Manuel D'utilisation page 11

Operating Instructions
1. Locate and position the FreeStyle Comfort in a
proper location for use.
a. The concentrator should be well-ventilated
so that the air intake filters and air outlet are
not obstructed.
b. The concentrator should be positioned so that
all audible and visual indicators and alarms
can be easily seen and heard.
c. Be sure the air intake filters are in place
before operating the unit. If the unit is
missing a filter, contact your equipment
provider.
2. Install a Battery Pack in the concentrator.
a. Align the battery with the bottom housing
from the center of the FreeStyle Comfort.
b. Slide the battery inward until you hear a
click to confirm that it has locked in place.
3. Insert the AC or DC power supply into the
FreeStyle Comfort
power port receptacle on the front, bottom right
side of the unit.
4. Connect a nasal cannula to the oxygen outlet
barb. Ensure the connection is secure before
operation.
NOTE: Any cannula(s) used other than the recom-
mended may affect performance.
Note: To Equipment Provider: The following oxygen
administration accessories are recommended for
use with the FreeStyle Comfort:
• Nasal Cannula with 7 feet (2.1 m) of tubing (Max-
imum LPM: 6 LPM): CAIRE Part Number 5408-SEQ
• Firebreak: CAIRE Part Number 20629671
A firebreak is recommended for use with any
cannula.
• CAIRE offers a firebreak intended to be used
in conjunction with the oxygen concentrator. The
firebreak is a thermal fuse to stop the flow of gas in
the event that the downstream cannula or oxygen
tubing is ignited and burns to the firebreak. It is
placed in-line with the nasal cannula or oxygen
tubing between the patient and the oxygen outlet
of the FreeStyle Comfort. For proper use of the
firebreak, always refer to the manufacturer's
instructions (included with each firebreak kit).
• For any additional recommended accessories,
please see the Accessories Catalog (PN ML-
LOX0010) available on www.caireinc.com.
