To test the battery
to ensure that there is proper power available to operate
the unit:
1.
Make sure there is a battery in the unit’s battery compartment and it
is properly positioned to match the correct
positive and negative polarity markings.
2.
Make sure the ON/OFF power switch is set to
the
ON
position.
3.
Press and hold down firmly the center of the
BAT. TEST button with your finger. (Figure
10.) (You can test the battery regardless of
whether or not a cannula is connected to the
oxygen outlet.)
The green PULSE FLOW indicator
illuminates to indicate a good battery. If the battery requires
replacement, the green PULSE FLOW and yellow LOW BATTERY
indicators illuminate.
Turning On the Unit for Proper Oxygen Usage
Note
Do not use a mask with the ImPulse Elite unit. A mask may not conform to the face
properly enough for the unit to fully sense inhalation.
Do not use pediatric or low flow cannulas with the ImPulse Elite unit as their
smaller tubing diameters negatively affect delivery volumes.
Use ImPulse Elite during sleep only under the recommendation of a qualified
clinician.
