FREESTYLE AND FREESTYLE 5 OPERATION CHECK
CAIRE tests every FreeStyle and FreeStyle 5 POC thoroughly after manufacture. The provider
must perform the following checks and tests to ensure that no damage occurred in shipping or
handling:
Do not connect external power without a battery pack installed in the FreeStyle or
FreeStyle 5
The FreeStyle or FreeStyle 5 must be off and disconnected from external power before
removing the battery pack.
1.
Install the battery pack.
2.
Connect the AC Power Supply to the POC, and connect the AC power cord from the Power
Supply to a 100-‐240 volt, 50/60 Hz electrical outlet.
3.
Turn the unit on by pressing flow setting 2. Check to see that the following sequence occurs:
a.
A brief, continuous alarm sounds to indicate that the POC has been turned on.
b.
The compressor starts.
c.
Exhaust air flows from the unit.
4.
Perform an oxygen concentration test, as described in the OXYGEN CONCENTRATION TEST
section of this manual.
FREESTYLE AND FREESTYLE 5 ALARM SYSTEM
START-‐UP ALARM
A brief alarm sounds when the FreeStyle or FreeStyle 5 is first powered on. This is normal. The
concentrator begins to operate once the brief alarm stops.
