FreeStyle Comfort®

®

Smart technology to ensure saturation

O2 is what we do.

All devices are variable in delivering consistent volumes of oxygen. The volume, timing of delivery in the first halfof inspiration, and purity all contribute to effective oxygenation. The FreeStyle Comfort offers a consistent boluswith changing breath rates via autoSAT, consistent timing of delivery via UltraSense breath detection technology,and provides up to 95% purity–helping to ensure effective oxygenation for your patient.

autoSAT®: Clinically Proven Oxygen Delivery.
Most POCs deliver a decreased bolus size as the breath rate increases. To compensate, the user would need tomanually increase the setting on the POC to ensure they receive enough oxygen during activity.
The FreeStyle Comfort’s unique design includes CAIRE’s proprietary autoSAT technology, which maintains aconsistent pulse dose volume for every breath as the patient’s respiratory rate changes.

UltraSense® with Adjustable Pulse Sensitivity.
UltraSense is CAIRE’s proprietary sensitive breath detection technology–ensuring patients receive
oxygen when needed, even when exhibiting shallow or mouth breathing.

••

Adjustable Pulse Sensitivity allows pulse mode to be used by a wider variety of patients, including
patients with weak inspiratory effort who can use a more sensitive setting for more comfortable use
Provides quick and reliable oxygen delivery in the “golden third” of inhalation with the mostadvanced trigger sensitivity on the market today

Why is sensitivity important?
The first phase of a patient’s inhalation is essential
for the gaseous exchange in the alveoli, known as
the “golden third” of inhalation. High sensitivity
is key to proper oxygen delivery within that earlyphase of inhalation. A delay in oxygen delivery
impedes oxygen absorption and gaseous
exchange in the lungs, which can cause thepatient to desaturate. 2
Patients may experience an 11% drop in SpO2
with a Pulse Dose Oxygen Concentrator
Device (PDOCD) due to inadequate triggering
sensitivity settings. 3
