SHOWING PANEL BUTTONS, INDICATORS, AND ALARMS
Show your patient where each button is located on the POC Control Panel and how each button
and indicator operates. Go over the alerts and alarms and how to handle alert and alarm
conditions.
SELECTING THE PROPER FLOW SETTING
The recommendations of the qualified clinician responsible for the patient’s care should always
be followed when instructing patients on the use of Pulse Dose Mode.
Do not attempt to prescribe oxygen level settings. Warn your patient
that only a qualified clinician or physician is to perform the necessary
tests to prescribe treatment.
ACTIVE LIFESTYLE TRAINING
Small, lightweight, and easily moved about, the FreeStyle and FreeStyle 5 units are ideally
suited to an active lifestyle. The AC and DC power supplies enable recharge of the battery
during longer excursions. CAIRE recommends a nasal cannula with 7 ft (2.1 m) of tubing, CAIRE
Part Number CU002-‐1, or suitable cannula. Other lengths of non-‐kinking / star channel cannula
can be used for a total length of up to 25 ft (7.6 m) maximum.
Always follow the cannula manufacturer’s instructions for proper use.
Consult your licensed health care provider to determine how often the
cannula should be replaced.
Cannula tubing must be non-‐kinking, which can be used for a total
length of up to 25ft (7.6cm) maximum.
