Alarm/Light Indicators
When the FreeStyle unit senses inhalation, a pulse of oxygen is sent through the nasal cannula. The
green light above the selected pulse flow setting displays intermittently each time a breath is
detected.
Additionally, when the unit is operating on and simultaneously being charged through the Universal
AC/DC power supply, the FreeStyle unit's battery gauge/indicator(s) display the charge level of the
battery and remain on for approximately one hour after reaching a full charge.
An audible alarm sounds if FreeStyle has a low battery, if the cannula is disconnected, or if
performance of the unit is outside specifications. The light and audible alarm conditions are explained
in detail below and summarized on the chart later in this section of the manual.
This unit is not to be used for life support. Geriatric, pediatric, or any other patient unable to communicate
discomfort while using this device may require additional monitoring. Patients with hearing and/or sight
impairment(s) may need assistance with monitoring alarms.
Pulse Dose Node settings must be determined for each patient individually for their needs at rest, during
WARNING
exercise, and when traveling.
If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical emergency, seek medical assistance immediately.
In the event of an alarm or you observe FreeStyle is not working properly; consult the Troubleshooting
section in this manual. If you cannot resolve the problem, consult your Equipment Provider.
o Start-Up
A brief alarm sounds at start-up. FreeStyle begins to operate when the alarm stops.
o Low Battery
As the battery power approaches a low level, a brief alarm sounds intermittently, and the
yellow 25% Battery gauge/indicator (Figure 11) light also illuminates intermittently. When this
occurs, connect FreeStyle to a DC power outlet or to an AC power outlet, or change to another
source of oxygen within two minutes. When FreeStyle is connected to DC power outlet or AC
power outlet, the unit operates while recharging FreeStyle's battery simultaneously. The level
of battery charge is indicated by the battery gauge/indicator(s).
