2: Intended Use The IPV® 1 system is an active (it exchanges kinetic energy) medical device used in the field of respiratory medicine to provide Airway Clearance Therapy (ACT). The IPV® 1 control unit is a reusable driver intended to be used exclusively with the single-patient Phasitron®...
The IPV® 1 system is indicated to provide IPV® as a form of airway clearance therapy. During operation, the system provides a continuous, dense aerosol mist to reduce the adhesive and cohesive forces of retained airway secretions. Contraindications • Untreated tension pneumothorax •...
3: Principles of Operation The IPV® 1 system is a device that provides IPV® as a form of airway clearance therapy. During operation, the system provides continuous dense aerosol mist to reduce the adhesive and cohesive forces of retained airway secretions. IPV® provides a “Pulsatile Flow”...
Control Functions Control Functions FREQUENCY determines the rate of high-frequency percussive pulses delivered to the patient. AMPLITUDE determines the pressure delivered to the patient. GAS SOURCE selects air or oxygen, or turns IPV® 1 off to stop therapy. Digital Display reads and displays Mean Airway Pressure (MAP), Pulse Frequency Rate, Usage Time, and Pulse Amplitude.
Back Panel 1. Pole Clamp 2. Phasitron® 5 3. Air Connector 4. Bleed Vent 5. Oxygen Connector Blended Gas/Air Connection The IPV® 1 connects to hospital single gas source or blended gas. Single or dual air/oxygen gas connections are standard. CAUTION: Bleed must remain unrestricted.
5: Digital Display A digital display found on the front panel of the IPV® 1 device provides feedback of the patient proximal airway pressures, pulse frequency, and elapsed treatment time. The display has six different operating modes: POST, Wake, Active, Report, Sleep, and Fault. Note: The display will not awaken until feed- back from proximal line on the Phasitron®...
Wake Mode To wake up the display, ensure the IPV® 1 pressure is greater than 7 cmH₂O/hPa at the Phasitron® patient-delivery port for more than 1 second. The display remains on for the first 15 seconds, showing the bar-graph timer. If usage is stopped within 12 seconds, the display enters Report mode.
Report Mode The Session Timer and the Total Usage Timer (A) are displayed for 2 seconds, followed by the System Information Page (B) for 2 seconds, alternating. The alternating page display continues for 5 minutes, or until usage resumes and the display enters Active Mode. During the 5-minute period, a horizontal bar graph indicates the time by moving from left to right at a fixed rate.
Fault Mode In Fault mode, the display will show an error message on the display stating, “Contact Factory for Service. ” The displayed information includes the software revision, digital display serial number, the total usage time, and an error code for the exclusive use of the factory.
Digital Display - Setup When setting up the IPV® 1 device for the first time, the digital display must be removed to access the battery-disconnect tabs for removal. NOTE: When the display powers on for the first time, it will ensure the correct atmospheric pressure calibration at startup.
6: Setup IPV® Mounted to Standard Pole Stand Roll Stand Assembly The IPV® 1 mounts onto a standard 0.75- to 1.5-inch (19 mm to 38 mm) hospital pole stand.
Breathing Circuit - Phasitron ® 5 UC The patented Phasitron® 5 uses a unique venturi as a “clutch” mechanism to protect the lung from overpressure. By automatically adjusting to the resistance of the lung, the Phasitron® 5 precisely and safely delivers the optimal amount and flow of air required by the alveolar space.

Connecting Tubing to Phasitron® 5 Connect yellow tubing quick-connect fitting to nebulizer bowl. NOTE: The tubing connectors will only fit onto the correct part Press red tubing onto conical connector at rear of Phasitron®...
Adding Liquid Solution Twist nebulizer bowl to the left to open. Add liquid solution, e.g., saline or other diluent as directed by physician. Apply the lid and twist the nebulizer bowl to the right to close.
7: Pre-Use Check 1. Verify the GAS SOURCE knob in the “OFF“ position. 2. Connect the IPV® 1 to medical 50 psi oxygen or air gas supply. 3. Connect a Siemens®-style 1-liter ventilator test lung (A) to the Phasitron® 5 (B). 4.

7. Rotate the FREQUENCY control knob fully counterclockwise. 8. Confirm frequency rate of 300 or above. NOTE: Displayed pressure and time are for illustrative purposes only. 9. Verify the mean airway pressure (MAP) indicated on the digital display is greater than 15 cmH₂O. NOTE: Displayed pulse amplitude pressure, time, and frequency are for illustrative purposes only.
Page 29
12. Verify the mean airway pressure (MAP) indicated on the digital display is greater than 10 cmH₂O. NOTE: Displayed pulse amplitude pressure, time, and frequency are for illustrative purposes only. 13. Rotate the FREQUENCY control knob to the center, straight up position. 14.
8: Prepare for Patient-Airway Connection To prepare for patient-airway connection, complete the following steps: 1. Rotate AMPLITUDE control knob clockwise to stop (off). 2. Connect the IPV® 1 to 50 psi (3.4 bar) gas source. Ensure GAS SOURCE switch is switched to OFF.

5. After the patient obtains the ability to prevent the leaking of percussive air deliveries from the nose and around the lips, the entire percussion rate range should be scanned by rotating the FREQUENCY control knob. This works to raise secretions from the bronchial airways.
10: Cleaning and Maintenance Protocol Always clean the controller between patients and when visibly soiled. Use only approved cleaning wipes (CaviWipe®) to wipe the controller and stand to remove excess soil. Use ad- ditional CaviWipes if needed to remove visible soil. A visual inspection should be performed to ensure soil has been removed.
We recommend testing cleaning solutions on a small, non-visible area of the mounting assembly to verify compatibility (will not damage stand). CAUTION: • Do not use strong chemicals or solvents such as acetone or trichloroethylene. • Do not use steel wool or other abrasive material. •...
4. Twist the white cap on the rear of the Phasitron® 5 to remove. 5. Remove the cap. 6. Remove the sliding venturi and spring from the Phasitron® 5 body. Phasitron® 5 UC Breathing Circuit Cleaning Process Thoroughly rinse each of the disassembled parts (except for tubing harness) under warm running tap water for approximately ten (10) seconds.
11: Troubleshooting CAUTION: If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of the IPV® 1 driver unit or Phasitron® 5 UC breathing circuit, e.g., if either device is making unusual sounds, or if either device is dropped or damaged in any way, discontinue use and contact authorized service personnel.
If the IPV® 1 is not functioning as it should, if it makes unusual noises, or if there are any concerns about device performance or condition, immediately discontinue use. Contact customer service at Customerservice.us@sentec.com. Changing Display Module Batteries Displays a low battery indicator when battery capacity is nearing depletion.
Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the IPV® 1 system has to be reported to Sentec (regulatory.percussionaire@sentec.com) and/or to the competent authority of the country where the incident occurred. If unsure whether an incident is...

The Active mode display metrics include pulse frequency rate and mean airway pressure. Amplitude: controls the operating pressure of the entire unit. Atelectasis/Atelectatic lung: a complete or partial collapse of the entire lung or area (lobe) of the lung.
