Introduction
The Tidal Assist Ventilation (TAV®) System
provides you with three delivery modes:
Pulse mode (similar to pulsed-dose systems),
Constant mode (similar to continuous flow
in other devices), and Tidal Assist mode.
The Tidal Assist mode provides an additional
“boost” to your breathing and is designed
to enhance your ability to perform everyday
activities of daily living and to exercise.
This instruction manual includes important
information on how to properly use and
maintain the TAV® system. Please read it
carefully before using your TAV® system.
Glossary
Bypass Valve: In the event of a TAV® system
failure, the bypass valve allows the device to
still provide oxygen flow. The bypass valve is
activated by pulling out the bypass valve stem
(see pages 5, 14).
Caution: In this document, “caution” indicates
the possibility of a problem with the device
associated with its use or misuse. Such
problems may include device malfunctions,
device failure, damage to the device, or
damage to other property.
Constant Mode: This mode is similar to
continuous flow mode on other devices. It
provides a steady stream of oxygen at the
set flow rate. Compared to Pulse Mode, this
mode generally provides more oxygen to your
lungs, and may be better suited for situations
where a higher demand for oxygen is needed,
such as during exertion. Although it provides
more oxygen than Pulse Mode, Constant
Mode generally provides less oxygen to
your lungs than Tidal Assist Mode.
Continuous Flow Oxygen: Oxygen is
constantly flowing. On the TAV® System,
this is called Constant Mode.
DISS Outlet: Diameter Index Safety System
outlet. These threaded outlets are used on
medical gas devices to ensure that the
correct medical gas is used as required by
each device. The TAV® regulator adapter
requires a male DISS outlet.
EMC: Electromagnetic compatibility
(see Appendix A)
Nasal Pillow Interface: The TAV® System uses
a custom designed nasal “pillow” interface.
This special interface allows proper delivery
of the special delivery modes available on the
TAV®. Only the Inogen brand nasal pillow
interface should be used with the TAV®
System.
Pulse Mode: This mode is similar to the
“pulsed-dose” mode on other devices. It
provides a short “pulse” of oxygen at the start
of each inhalation and is designed to conserve
oxygen use. This mode may be best suited for
situations in which you have a limited supply
of oxygen, such as when you are using a small
portable oxygen tank.
Pulsed-dose Oxygen: Pulsed-dose devices
provide oxygen flow for only a short period at
the start of each breath. This allows oxygen
use to be minimized. On the TAV® system, this
is called Pulse Mode.
Regulator: A pressure regulator controls the
pressure coming from the gas source (e.g.,
oxygen tank) that is delivered to a device.
The TAV® System includes a custom regulator
adapter for use when connecting to DISS-style
fittings. The TAV® regulator adapter should
always be used when connecting the TAV®
device to standard oxygen tank regulators,
hospital wall oxygen outlets or to air sources.
Respiratory Insufficiency: Conditions
in which the ability to breathe and/or to
oxygenate is lower than normal.
Tidal Assist Mode: This mode provides a
larger pulse of gas at the start of each
inhalation, and it generally increases the tidal
volume to your lungs. This mode may be best
for situations requiring greater volume assist,
such as those involving vigorous activity or
exertion.
Tidal Volume: Tidal volume is the amount
of air moved into and out of the lungs during
a single breath. When using the Tidal Assist
Mode, tidal volume is normally increased
compared to Pulse Mode or Constant Mode.
WARNING: In this document, a “warning”
indicates the possibility of injury, death, or
other serious outcomes may be associated
with the use or misuse of the device.
