2. Setup Procedure
(See Figures 1 - 7.)
1.
Open lower front door. All hoses should be connected to their
respective ports. (see figure 1.)
2.
Open the top door. The Pulmonex II can use either of two
different style Drierite cartridges. A refillable plastic cartridge is
shipped with your unit and is located on the right side of the
compartment. You can fill this cartridge to one-third full with
loose Drierite (catalog #139-101). Alternatively, you can remove
this cartridge and replace it with the sample pre-filled single use
cartridge included in the sample Xenon Disposable Convenience
Kit supplied. In either case, the disposable mixture of blue and
white Drierite crystals prolongs charcoal trap life span. Failure to
change the moisture absorber regularly will significantly shorten
the life span of the charcoal trap; therefore, it is recommended
that it be changed after every study. (see figure 2.)
NOTE: The flow arrow on the pre-filled Drierite cartridge should
match the flow label in the Pulmonex II cabinet.
3.
Located on the left side of the top compartment is the Soda-Lime
cartridge. This cartridge serves as a carbon dioxide trap. You
can fill this cartridge to one-third full with loose Soda-Lime
(catalog #130-019). Alternatively, you can remove this cartridge
and replace it with the sample white pre-filled single use
cartridge included in the sample Xenon Disposable Convenience
Kit supplied. In either case, the Soda-Lime cartridge helps stop
the breakdown of Soda-Lime granules that may possibly clog the
10-way valve and hinder patient air flow. Failure to change the
Soda-Lime regularly could cause the patient to hyperventilate.
Therefore, it is recommended that you change it after every
study.
NOTE: The flow arrow on the pre-filled Soda-Lime cartridge
should match the flow label in the Pulmonex II cabinet.
4.
Relocate the unit to the area of operation. Ensure the power
switch and the timer are OFF. Plug into a nearby electrical
outlet.
5.
At the rear of the unit, there are two black hose connections
positioned side by side (see figure 3.) The blue hose adapters in
the open ends of hoses should be removed to connect to these
fittings. The blue adapters are required to connect to the Hans
Rudolph Valve and to older Pulmonex systems only. Attach the
1.125" bore hose and Hans Rudolph Valve assembly to the hose
connectors so that air flows into the Hans Rudolph Valve on the
left and out from the Hans Rudolph valve on the right. (see figure
4.) The green dot sticker on the Hans Rudolph Valve faces up
when connected. (see figure 5.) Connect the bacteria filter directly
to the Hans Rudolph Valve. Attach either a face mask or
mouthpiece directly to the bacteria filter. (see figure 6.)
