English translation: freely definable calculation

German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / study protocol
German term or phrase: frei
"....kein Sicherheitsabstand wurde berechnet. Wir bitten Sie deshalb für alle beabsichtigten Dosen, die in dieser Studie zum Einsatz kommen sollen, auf Basis der NOAEL eine (wenn relevant *freie*) expositionsbezogene (AUe, Cmax) Berechnung von Sicherheitsabständen vorzulegen."

Does 'frei' here refer to the Berechnung? I.e. 'or a 'free' calculation of..."?

TIA for your help.
