Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document serves as a quick reference guide for the IPV®-2C, detailing the setup, operation, and troubleshooting of the device used for delivering Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation (IPV) therapy.
Specifications and Setup
1. Nebulizer Preparation: Place up to 20 ml of normal saline or prescribed medication in the nebulizer bowl. Connect the appropriate tubing to the nebulizer and cap, ensuring no obstruction of the green remote port.
2. Device Connection: Ensure the Master Switch is OFF before connecting the IPV® to a 50 psi gas source. Assemble the Phasitron patient connections using a mouthpiece, mask, or tracheostomy, as appropriate.
Operational Controls and Starting Settings
1. Master Switch: Controls the ON/OFF state of the IPV®-2C.
2. Operational Pressure: Adjust according to patient population (Adult: 40 PSI, Pediatric: 30 PSI, Neonatal: 20 PSI).
3. Inspiratory Flow: Rotate fully to the right in the OFF position initially, then adjust to achieve visible chest wiggle.
4. Frequency: Controls pulse rate; start fully left and adjust as needed.
5. Demand CPAP/PEEP: Optimizes lung recruitment; start with the arrow pointing straight up.
6. Inspiratory Time: Set to approximately 1:2 ratio.
7. Nebulizer Switch: Start in the ON position.
Delivering Therapy
1. Patient Positioning: Ensure the patient is upright or with head and shoulders elevated.
2. Adjustments: Gradually increase Inspiratory Flow and adjust Frequency for optimal therapy.
3. Duration: Recommended therapy duration is 15-20 minutes every 6-8 hours, or as per provider orders.
Troubleshooting
1. Digital Display Issues: Ensure the device is ON and connections are secure.
2. Nebulizer Issues: Verify liquid presence and flow; check tubing connections.
3. Percussion Issues: Ensure proper gas source connection and adjust settings as needed.
Additional Notes
1. Contraindications: IPV® should not be used in cases of untreated tension pneumothorax or by untrained operators.
2. Support: Contact local sales or technical support for assistance.

IPV®-2C Quick Reference Guide Before you start Assembling Phasitron Place a maximum of 20 ml of normal saline and/or medication (as prescribed by physician) in the nebulizer bowl. Connect yellow tubing quick-connect fitting to nebulizer bowl. Connect clear tubing quick-connect fitting to the cap. Press red tubing onto connector. Connect blue corrugated tubing to exhalation port. Connect the tubing to the corresponding-colored connectors. Do not obstruct green remote port. Patient Connections Mouthpiece Instruct patient to keep lips and cheeks splinted to ensure the pulses are directed into the lungs. It is recommended to use a resuscitation mask or similar nonvented mask. Direct The Phasitron can be attached directly to a patient’s tracheostomy.* NOTE: For patients under five years of age without an artificial airway, mask configuration is recommended. * IPV therapy should only be used in spontaneously breathing patients. Ensure Master Switch is OFF. Then, connect the IPV® to a 50 psi gas source

O Master Switch turns the IPV®-2C controller ON and OFF. Q Operational Pressure controls the peak operating pressure of the entire unit. > Starting Position: Adjust according to patient population (see below) Q Inspiratory Flow determines the amplitude delivered to the patient during inspiratory time. > Starting Position: Rotate Fully to the right in the OFF position. Note: for patients coming off respiratory support consider starting with Inspiratory flow on (i.e. with the knob's arrow straight up) and quickly titrate to target the MAP delivered from previous support.

Digital Display Troubleshooting Digital display off To wake the digital display, turn the device ON and occlude the end of the Phasitron. Set the Operational Pressure and increase the Inspiratory Flow. Then allow a pressure reading to be registered. Check connections and/or digital display battery. Nebulizer not aerosolizing Ensure there is liquid present in the nebulizer bowl and check for flow out of the nebulizer. Disconnect the yellow tubing and verify flow. If flow is present, turn the Master Switch to the OFF position and reconnect the yellow tubing to the nebulizer bowl. If the issue persists,...
