3.0 Patient Instructions
3.1 General Instructions
It is important that patients thoroughly understand how to operate AirSep’s FreeStyle unit.
This enables proper treatment as prescribed by a qualified, licensed physician. You must
explain that the purpose of this therapy is to alleviate symptoms. If patients experience
any discomfort or if the unit alarms, they must notify their Equipment Provider and/or
physician immediately.
You, as the Equipment Provider, are responsible to ensure that each patient receives the
FreeStyle Patient Manual. Explain each step in the operation of the unit to the patient with
reference to the patient manual.
3.1.1 Connecting to External Power
When connecting the Universal AC / DC power supply to the FreeStyle unit, be certain to
first properly align the power cord to this inlet. To do this, take note of the “D”-shaped
plug of both the power cord connector and the FreeStyle’s inlet connection. These must be
aligned, and the button on the power cord must be pressed in for removal. This ensures
that neither the unit nor the power accessories are damaged.

3.1.2 Optional AirBelt™ Battery
Instruct patients that connecting an optional AirBelt to the unit by inserting
the power into the unit’s power inlet provides additional total run time, per the
specifications. Note that the unit battery must still have a charge remaining before the
external AirBelt is connected. The patient should be advised to not fully deplete the unit
battery as a small amount of power is needed to engage the AirBelt.
