1. Knob– This knob is used to attach the conserving device to the cylinder.
2. •PulseDose Indicator– Either green or red light illuminates each time
the unit pulses oxygen.
•Normal Battery Indicator– A flashing green light indicates that
there is sufficient battery power.
3. •Low Battery Indicator– A flashing red light indicates that there are
4 - 8 hours of battery life remaining. The low battery indication time
may be reduced when using NiMH batteries.
•Change Battery Indicator– A constant red light indicates that the
battery should be changed immediately. Unit can be used only in
continuous flow mode until new batteries are installed.
4. Cannula Fitting– Use this fitting to attach the cannula to your
PulseDose conserving device.
5. Rotary Selector– When this rotary switch is set to "OFF," the unit is
not using battery power and will not pulse. When this switch is set to
one of the numbers, the unit is on and awaiting inspiration through
the nasal cannula at which time it will dose on every breath. The
volume of the oxygen delivered varies according to which prescription
flow setting is chosen. The final setting on the rotary switch is "CF";
this is the continuous flow position. In this position oxygen will flow
from the cannula fitting at the default continuous flow rate.
6. Oxygen Contents Gauge– Indicates the remaining pressure in the
oxygen cylinder. When this gauge falls into the red section, you should
switch to a new cylinder.
7. Battery Door– Use only a standard "AA" Alkaline or NiMH batteries.
NOTE– Continuous flow mode is not powered by the batteries and can be used
regardless of the battery level. In the event of a device failure or dead
batteries, the user must manually switch the unit to continuous flow for
delivery of oxygen. The device will not automatically switch to continuous flow.
The oxygen cylinder will not last as long in continuous flow mode as it would
in PulseDose mode. Unless there is a problem with the unit, such as dead
batteries, the unit should be used in PulseDose mode.
