UNIQUE MODULAR INTERNAL DESIGN
» Unit designed to be switched only by the clinician
between two modes of operation:
» Pulse modes offer up to 6 lpm equivalency
Patient-selectable continuous flow feature (except Model OC006-2)
» New regular design includes brass components
» Uses one “D” size battery for greatest ambulation
time
» Constant monitoring of battery level on each pulse flow, with
visual and audible low battery alarms
» Audible/visual alarms serve to signal patient on system detections:
- Cannula disconnect or kinked tubing
- Unit inadvertently left in “on” position when not in use.


The volume/ time curve shown below represents typical
ventilation cycle. At 20 breaths per minute and a1:2 ratio of in halation
to expiration, the duration of each breath is three seconds, with one
second for inhalation. Approximately .5 seconds is required for dead-
space, which allows only .5 seconds as early inhalation.
Note: alveolar exchange represents
only one-sixth of the ventilatory cycle.

ImPulse Elite...
Clinicians
overwhelmingly agree that the preferred choice in oxygen conservation
technology is every-breath pulse flow delivery. AirSep’s Impulse
Elite offers two modes of every-breath delivery-depending on a patient's
medical assessment.
Both delivery modes offer clear advantages to the patient.
And now, Airsep, a pioneer manufacturer in the OCD technology that combines
both delivery modes within one unique 12-setting unit, leaves it to you-
the clinician- to Choose which method of oxygen delivery is most appropriate
far your patient's requirements in maintaining oxygen saturation while
providing maximum ambulation time.
Recognizing that patients' needs for supplemental oxygen
are different, home care providers can rest assured that their choice
of ImPulse Elite meets patients' and their clinicians' expectations.
With ImPulse Elite, an easy-to-adjust internal switch
allows the provider to select an appropriate pulse mode for a particular
patient. In one mode ambulation time is maximized; in the other, oxygen
flow is maximized. In addition, the readily accessible flow selector provides
1-6 lpm equivalency. Economical and efficient. ImPulse Elite - the choice
is yours.
Convenience
and Portability.
ImPulse Elite combines convenience and portability for
patients with therapeutic oxygen needs. Through advanced electronic features,
the ImPulse Elite unit responds effectively to a patient's respiratory
cycle and delivers the precise amount of prescribed oxygen when it is
most beneficial - at the beginning of inhalation.
A
versatile, self-contained system.
Realizing that the needs of patients vary greatly, AirSep,
recognized worldwide for expert craftsmanship in the design and manufacture
of oxygen systems, presents an oxygen conserving device - a total, self
contained system that is so versatile, any ambulatory patient can use
ImPulse Elite, regardless of prescription.
ImPulse Elite Ensures lightweight
portability and unobstrusive use
And
economical.
ImPulse Elite allows you to reduce inventory by giving you the unique
advantage of two OCD system technologies in one unit. So whatever the
doctor orders, ImPulse Elite meets the need.
