Chapter 1: Introduction TXP ™ This chapter provides an overview of the TXP 5 emergency high frequency ventilator. ™ Numbers for reference only High Frequency Percussive Ventilation High Frequency Percussive Ventilation (HFPV) can be lifesaving for patients with fragile, congested, or stiff lungs weakened by barotrauma or infection. HFPV is a solution that requires neither the pressure of mechanical ventilation nor the breathing action of the patient.
Phasitron® Breathing Circuit A50606-TXP Inhalation port Exhalation port 4 x amplification if needed Patient Air/Oxygen inlet Venturi as “clutch” mechanism Effects of HFPV Ventilation & Oxygenation Mobilization of Lung Airway Secretions Recruitment The effects of HFPV occur with or without the cooperation of the patient. HFPV provides a sub-tidal gas exchange within the respiratory bronchioles with associated alveolar recruitment maintaining a minimal mean intrathoracic expiratory pressure increase for peripheral lung stabilization.

Warnings and Cautions A WARNING icon indicates a risk of injury to a patient or operator. A CAUTION icon indicates a risk of equipment damage. Warnings It is the user’s responsibility to follow the instructions given in this manual. Keep the operating instructions near the device to ensure correct operation. If the safety instructions are not followed, the patient may be at risk.
™ Percussionaire® authorized service personnel. Maintain and service the TXP 5 device according to ™ the recommendations provided in this manual. Only use Percussionaire® accessories designed specifically for use with the TXP 5 device. ™ Malfunctions If the TXP 5 malfunctions, it should not be utilized ™...
Chapter 2: Intended Use Indications for Use The TXP 5 is designed for emergency ventilation of adult, pediatric or neonatal patients. ™ The device is intended for either hospital or pre-hospital use where emergency care is being provided, including intra-hospital or external hospital transport. The TXP 5 is ™...
Clinical Limitations/Restrictions Use of the TXP 5 is limited to qualified individuals who have received training. ™ WARNING: Suctioning should be performed as necessary; pulmonary alveoli cannot be ventilated when their airways are obstructed. WARNING: When used a clinician must be present so that a one-to-one relationship exists.
Chapter 3: System Description The TXP 5 ventilator provides High Frequency Percussive Ventilation (HFPV) as the ™ patient breathes through the Phasitron® breathing circuit. The PDM displays Mean Airway Pressure, Pulse Controls the high Frequency rate and frequency rate Pulse Amplitude in cmH₂O/hPa.
Percussionaire® Digital Multimeter (PDM) The PDM has six different operating modes: POST, Wake, Active, Report, Sleep and Fault. Numbers for reference only. Power-On Self-Test (POST) Mode When batteries are installed in a system, the PDM software displays the software revision, battery voltage, total usage time and serial number for 15 seconds. This start- up mode allows the software to perform additional tests on the hardware that are part of the Power-On Self-Test.
Wake Mode To wake up the PDM, ensure the ventilator pressure is greater than 2.5 cmH₂O or 2 hPa at the Phasitron® patient delivery port for more than 1 second, while connected to patient, test lung or by occluding the Phasitron®. The PDM remains on for the first 15 seconds, showing the bar-graph timer.
Pulsating grey color represents Airway Pressure Pulse Amplitude Pulse Frequency PEEP Rate Mean Airway Pressure Solid black represents PEEP 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.
Replace batteries (note that positive terminals face same direction) and wait 30 seconds. If POST check runs correctly, PDM may be used. If System Failure screen recurs, contact Percussionaire® Corporation for factory service. In all other modes, the software continuously monitors the hardware for errors, as well as verifying that each data sample has a valid value.
Chapter 4: Setup Percussionaire® Digital Multimeter (PDM) Setup NOTE: Remove the PDM from the TXP 5 device, to access battery pull tabs, by turning ™ the PDM counterclockwise. Pull up to remove both tabs NOTE: To ensure correct atmospheric pressure calibration at start up, remove batteries, wait 30 seconds and reinstall.

Chapter 5: Pre-Use Check ™ Connect the Phasitron® to the TXP 5 red and clear connections. Rotate the Frequency knob to full clockwise position. Rotate the Amplitude knob to full clockwise position. ™ Connect TXP 5 to 50-80 psi gas source. With a gloved hand, occlude the Phasitron®...
Chapter 6: Ventilation Settings Standard Circuit Initial Settings Set Frequency by turning arrow straight up (rate of 500 +/- 25) Attach Phasitron® to patient hospital approved HMEF. Start with Amplitude control knob turned full clockwise (right). Slowly turn Amplitude control knob counterclockwise (left), until patient’s chest is observed to be moving (wiggle).
Adjustment Options: Standard Circuit with Optional PEEP Valve and Inspiratory Valve Increase pO₂ and Decrease CO₂ • Increase amplitude in steps of 2-4 cmH₂O. Watch for increase in MAP. Increase O₂ if CO₂ is OK • If device is plugged into an O₂ outlet, the delivered FiO₂ will be 60%. •...
Patient Monitoring Clinicians should evaluate how their patients tolerate the ventilation. Auscultation and observation of the mechanical vibrations of the chest and abdomen are primary indicators of effective treatment. During HFPV it is important to maintain an unobstructed and unrestricted airway. WARNING: Proper suctioning procedures should be followed to maintain a patent airway.
Oxygenation Control over arterial PO₂ is achieved by manipulating FiO₂ or increasing the mean airway pressure. The following will increase FiO₂ and/or mean airway pressure, thereby increasing arterial PO₂. Increase Oxygenation Increase FiO₂ This is accomplished if the unit is connected to a blended air/O₂...
Decrease Ventilation: PaCO a. Reduce amplitude (this will also decrease MAP) Decrease in 2-4 cmH O increments b. Frequency Increase in 60 BPM increments c. Mechanical deadspace Add 6-inch corrugated tubing (as shown below) Mechanical deadspace NOTE: In the face of a difficult clinical scenario with worsening ventilation and or oxygenation, complete assessment of the patient to find the cause of V/Q inequality.
