SELECTING THE PROPER FLOW MODE AND SETTING

patients on the use of Continuous or Pulse Dose Mode.

instructions on how to select Continuous Flow Mode. Demonstrate the procedure on the device. Set the prescribed flow
using the increase or decrease flow rate buttons

SELECTING PuLSE DOSE MODE

Pulse Dose Mode, delivers a measured bolus of oxygen pulse at the beginning of each inspiration. Refer to the Users
Manual for instructions on how to select Pulse Dose Mode. Demonstrate the procedure for your patient. Set the prescribed
flow using the increase or decrease buttons. Verify that the patient is able to adequately trigger the oxygen delivery while
speaking, sitting quietly, and walking. If the patient is not able to satisfactorily trigger oxygen delivery, the Pulse Sensitivity
may need to be adjusted.

Review with the patient the breath rate capabilities of Pulse Dose Mode for their prescription.

always have a backup oxygen supply or access to AC or DC Power

Supply in the event of loss of battery power.
