Inserting Batteries Into The iFill Oxygen Cylinder w/PulseDose

1. Open the battery door.
2. Insert 2 "AA" Alkaline or NiMH batteries.
3. Close the battery door.
–
NOTE When changing batteries, first turn the rotary selector to the "OFF" position.
Using Your iFill Oxygen Cylinder w/PulseDose
1. A ttach the standard nasal cannula to the cannula fitting and to your nose and face. Oxygen tubing up to
35 feet long may be used in PulseDose delivery mode.
To prevent injury from cylinders tipping over, do not use cannula tubing lengths over 10 feet with
small compressed oxygen cylinders. Unattended cylinders should be secured in a cylinder stand.
2. Turn the rotary selector to the prescribed flow setting.
NOTE– When this rotary switch is set to "OFF," the unit is not using battery power and will not pulse. When the
selector 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.
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.
3. B reathe normally, the conserving device will deliver a bolus of oxygen at the leading edge of inspiration on every breath up to 40 breaths per
minute.
4. When you are finished using the iFill oxygen cylinder, turn the rotary selector to the "OFF" position.
NOTE– A mask should not be used in the PulseDose delivery mode as it may not fit to the face well enough to allow the conserving device to
sense inhalation efforts. Also, the therapeutic effect of PulseDose would not be realized, as the dose of oxygen would be diluted in the
mask prior to inhalation.
NOTE– A pediatric or low-flow cannula should not be used in PulseDose delivery mode. The reduced diameter of the cannula causes too
much back pressure and will affect the oxygen volume delivered.
NOTE– PulseDose delivers oxygen in a very short "puff." It does not deliver oxygen during the entire inhalation. The length of time that
PulseDose delivers oxygen will not vary from breath to breath. The time is set in correlation to the oxygen dosage set on the
conserving device (patient's prescription setting).
NOTE– PulseDose is designed to prevent the delivery of pulses more than every 1 1/2 seconds. If the breath rate is greater than 40 BPM, this
feature prevents delivery of excessive oxygen by not dosing on every breath.
NOTE– If using NiMH batteries, carefully monitor when the low battery indicator flashes red. It is recommended that a spare fully-charged set
of alkaline batteries be kept in reserve and installed when the change battery indicator is constant red.
Alerts (PD1000A-CAN-M4, -M6, -ML6, -C, -D, and -E)
No Inspiration Alert – If the unit is on and inspiration has not been sensed for 30 seconds (after at least one breath has been sensed), the audible
alert will activate every three seconds for one minute and then auto shut-off.
Using Your iFill Oxygen Cylinder w/Continuous Flow Regulator
1. Attach the nasal cannula (or mask) to the cannula fitting and to your nose and face.
2. T urn the rotary selector to the prescribed flow setting. When the selector is set to one of the numbers, the unit is on.
3. Breathe normally.
4. When you are finished using the iFill oxygen cylinder, turn the rotary selector to the "OFF" position.
To prevent injury from cylinders tipping over, do not use cannula tubing lengths over 10 feet with small compressed oxygen
cylinders. Unattended cylinders should be secured in a cylinder stand.
