Installing a Circuit
A Patient Circuit must be installed in order to use the
LifePulse. Follow these steps to install the Patient Circuit:
1. Open cartridge door and insert humidifier cartridge
into receptacle
2. Open water pump door by lifting up. Secure the water
inlet tube inside the water pump and snap the pump
door closed.
3. Attach the green gas inlet tube to the green-coded
Gas Out port on the LifePulse.
4. Attach the purge tube to the yellow-coded Purge port
on the LifePulse and to the yellow-coded port on the
Patient Box.
5. Press PUSH TO LOAD on top of the Patient Box and
gently stretch the pinch tube into the jaws of the pinch
valve.
6. Connect the clear pressure monitoring tube from a
LifePort adapter to its port on the Patient Box.
7. Insert the green delivery tube into the Jet port on the
LifePort adapter.
8. Attach the water transfer tube to the water inlet tube
and spike the water supply. The water supply should be
at or below the level of the humidifier cartridge.
9. Unclamp the water transfer tube.

WARNING: Latch the water inlet tube on the humidifier
cartridge of the Patient Breathing Circuit into the water pump
housing prior to connecting to the water supply. Failure to do
so may result in cartridge overfill and delivery of water to the
patient by gravity feed.
WARNING: Clamp the water supply tube prior to opening the
water pump door to prevent cartridge overfill and delivery of
water to the patient by gravity feed. The water supply should
be positioned at or below the level of the humidifier cartridge
as an added precaution.

WARNING: Patient connections must only be made
in the Standby mode. Do not connect the LifePulse
Patient Breathing Circuit to the LifePort adapter on
the patient’s ET tube while the LifePulse is running.
Failure to comply risks high pressures and volumes
being delivered to the patient, which may result in
volutrauma.
Testing and Preparation
1. Perform System Test: Attach a LifePort adapter and ET
tube to a test lung. Press SYSTEM TEST and verify the
LifePulse runs through the test sequence and returns to
Standby mode with an audible and visual alarm active. Press
AUDIO PAUSED to cancel the high priority “passed test”
alarm.
2. Perform Operational Test: Perform an Operational Test.
Press ENTER to activate the default settings (PIP: 20, Rate:
420, I-Time: 0.020) while attached to the test lung. Verify
that the READY indicator illuminates, the monitored PIP
reaches the set PIP, and PEEP is 0.0 ± 1.0 cm H2O when no
PEEP is supplied by the conventional ventilator.
3. Place LifePulse into Standby: Place the LifePulse into
Standby mode after the tests are completed and prior to
connecting to the patient.
4. Before Connecting to Patient, Remove and Save Test
Supplies: Remove the Test Supplies (LifePort, ET tube, and
test lung) from the LifePulse circuit and Patient Box. Save for
future use.
