9. Regulator Seal– Creates a mechanical seal between the tank and the regulator and prevents oxygen
leaks.
Alerts
No Inspiration Alert–If the unit is on and inspiration has not been sensed for 15 seconds, the audible and
visable alert will pulse until an inhalation is sensed or the selector is turned off.
NOTE–Continuous ow mode is not powered by the batteries and can be used regardless of the battery level.
In the event of a device failure or dead batteries, the user must manually switch the unit to continuous ow for
delivery of oxygen. The device will not automatically switch to continuous ow. The oxygen cylinder will not last
as long in continuous ow mode as it would in PulseDose mode. Unless there is a problem with the unit, such
as dead batteries, the unit should be used in PulseDose mode.
INTRODUCTION
How PulseDose Works
PulseDose dramatically extends the use time from a supply of oxygen, offering increased mobility with
improvedcomfortandincreasedefciency.ThereliabilityandsafetyofPulseDoseoxygendeliveryhasbeen
proven effective in clinical testing as well as through independent tests performed by physicians and
respiratory therapists.
What is PulseDose? The concept is based on the fact that the normal breathing pattern is inhalation for 1/3 of
thetime,andexhalationabout2/3ofthetime.At20BPMtheoxygendeliveredincontinuousow,assuming
inspiration is 1/3 of the breathing cycle, would be 16.5 cc/LPM. As a result, PulseDose extends the use time of
an oxygen system by an average of 3:1. PulseDose senses the start of inhalation and instantly releases a
short“pulsed”doseattheverybeginningofthebreathingcycle.Sinceallofthe“pulsed”oxygenndsitsway
deepintothelungs,lessoxygenisrequiredtoaccomplishthesameeffectthanwithtraditionalcontinuousow
oxygen systems. This means that a PulseDose oxygen system will last two to four times longer than a
continuousowoxygensystem,yetstillprovidethesametherapeuticbenet.
Becauseoxygenisreleasedonlyduringinhalation,theconstantowofoxygenintothenostrilsiseliminated.
ManyusersndPulseDoseoxygendeliverymorecomfortablethancontinuousowdeliverysystems.The
short “pulse” of oxygen delivered during inhalation is almost undetectable, and the humidity in the room air
helps maintain a normal level of moisture in the nasal cavity. This greatly reduces the discomfort of
dehydrationassociatedwithacontinuousowoxygensystem.
Because PulseDose responds to each individual’s breathing patterns, the use time will vary for each individual
depending on the PulseDose prescription rate and the breath rate. The following chart shows the theoretical
ambulatory ranges for DeVilbiss PulseDose products.
NOTE–All ambulatory ranges are calculated assuming a breath rate of 20 breaths per minute in PulseDose
(PD) mode.

NOTES
• When this rotary selector is set to “OFF,” the unit is not using battery power and will not pulse. When the
selector is set to one of the numbers, the unit is on and awaiting inspiration through the nasal cannula at
which time it will dose on every breath. The volume of the oxygen delivered varies according to which
prescriptionowsettingischosen.Thenalsettingontherotaryswitchis“CF”;thisisthecontinuous

• Continuousowmodeisnotpoweredbythebatteriesandcanbeusedregardlessofthebatterylevel.
In the event of a device failure or dead batteries, the user must manually switch the unit to continuous
owfordeliveryofoxygen.Thedevicewillnotautomaticallyswitchtocontinuousow.Theoxygen
cylinderwillnotlastaslongincontinuousowmodeasitwouldinPulseDosemode.Unlessthereisa
problem with the unit, such as dead batteries, the unit should be used in PulseDose mode.
• WhenoperatedwithinthespeciedOperatingTemperatureRange,thereisno“warmup”period
required.ShouldthedevicebeoutsidethespeciedOperatingTemperatureRange,allowtheunitto
stabilize within the Operating Temperature Range prior to use.
• AmaskshouldnotbeusedinthePulseDosedeliverymodeasitmaynotttothefacewellenoughto
allow the conserving device to sense inhalation efforts. Also, the therapeutic effect of PulseDose would
not be realized, as the dose of oxygen would be diluted in the mask prior to inhalation.
• Apediatricorlow-owcannulashouldnotbeusedinPulseDosedeliverymode.Thereduceddiameter
of the cannula causes too much back pressure and will affect the oxygen volume delivered.
• PulseDose delivers oxygen in a very short “puff.” It does not deliver oxygen during the entire inhalation.
The length of time that PulseDose delivers oxygen will not vary from breath to breath. The time is set in
correlation to the oxygen dosage set on the conserving device (patient’s prescription setting).
• PulseDose is designed to prevent the delivery of pulses more than every 1 1/2 seconds. If the breath
rate is greater than 40 BPM, this feature prevents delivery of excessive oxygen by not dosing on every
breath.
• IfusingNiMHbatteries,carefullymonitorwhenthelowbatteryindicatorashesred.Itisrecommended
that a spare fully-charged set of alkaline batteries be kept in reserve and installed when the change
battery indicator is constant red.
• Always follow the Use and Care instructions supplied with the batteries being used. Batteries should be
removed when the device will not be used for a week or more.
• The PD1000 series is Latex free. Review the individual material lists for the tubing and cannula used in
conjunction with the DeVilbiss products.
TYPICAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. How does PulseDose work? How does it know when I’m inhaling?
A. When inhaling, your diaphragm moves down and causes a drop in pressure in the lungs. Air flows in
through the nose and mouth to equalize the pressure. This negative pressure is also present at the nose
and mouth during inhalation. This pressure signal travels through the nasal cannula to a pressure sensor
in the PulseDose conserving device. An electronic circuit then opens an electrical valve to deliver a
precisely metered dose of oxygen. When the valve is closed, the sensor is ready to detect the next
inhalation.
Q. The pulse seems so short. Am I really getting enough oxygen?
A. Yes. PulseDose delivers an internally controlled precise burst of oxygen at a relatively high flow rate at
the leading edge of each inhalation. This assures that the oxygen delivered flows deep into the lungs for
maximum benefit. PulseDose requires less oxygen to deliver the same therapeutic benefit as continuous
flow oxygen delivery.
Q. I can’t hear the pulse. Is PulseDose working?
A. If the pulse can’t be heard, simply look at the green PulseDose indicator to see that the device is being
triggered by inhalation. For further assurance, hold the end of the cannula in front of your lips while
inhaling through your mouth and feel the pulse. PulseDose does not monitor the supply of oxygen.

EN - 9SE-1000
Remember to check the oxygen contents gauge periodically to verify that there is an adequate oxygen
supply. If the oxygen supply runs out, the green PulseDose indicator light will continue to illuminate,
indicating that the conserving device is being triggered by inhalation.
Q. Why can’t I use a cannula which is longer than 35 feet?
A. The PulseDose triggering is not significantly affected by the cannula length, but the delivery of oxygen is
affected. If the cannula is longer than 35 feet, the pulse of oxygen is delayed. Remember the therapeutic
moment during the inhalation cycle. If the oxygen is not delivered during this time, the benefits will not be
realized.
Q. I’ve always used humidifiers with oxygen. Should I use a humidifier with PulseDose?
A. No. PulseDose is not able to sense inhalation through the water in the humidifier. Also, many patients find
that humidification is not necessary with PulseDose. They find that PulseDose improves comfort because
it delivers a very small amount of oxygen during the early part of inhalation, while the rest of the inhalation
is composed of normal room air.
Q. When I’m breathing faster, I don’t get a pulse with each breath. Don’t I need a dose every time?
A. Because PulseDose breathes with the patient, it has an upper limit (40 Breaths Per Minute) that keeps
you from getting too much oxygen. When breathing slowly, you receive a dose with every breath. As
breath rate increases (up to 40 BPM) PulseDose still delivers a dose with every breath. At this point, you
are getting more oxygen per minute because each pulse delivers the same amount of oxygen with each
breath while the number of breaths has increased. With continuous flow oxygen, the oxygen delivered is
constant. As you breathe faster, the enrichment of inhalations actually decreases because each breath is
being diluted with a greater amount of room air.
Q. Why is my conserving device beeping every three seconds?
A. The PulseDose conserving device will beep if breathing is not sensed while the device is on. This could
be affected by the cannula position or mouth breathing/shallow breathing.
USER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The unit should be kept clean and free from moisture and dust. Clean the unit at least weekly by wiping with a
dry,lint-freecloth.Avoidgettinguidsordebrissuchassandordirtinsidetheoxygenconnections.Donot
immerse in water. Do not clean with a solvent based cleaning solution. Avoid dropping the unit or placing it in a
position where it could topple or fall since this can damage the device. Whenever possible, use a padded
carrying bag such as those listed in the Accessories section to carry the unit. This will help to protect it in case
of a fall. The unit should be protected from extreme temperatures. Do not attempt any other maintenance.
STORAGE & HANDLING WARNINGS
When attached to a cylinder, do not place oxygen cylinders in unventilated spaces such as car trunks.
Excessive heat can make the relief valve suddenly and quickly discharge the cylinder contents,
possibly making it a projectile and greatly increasing the oxygen level in unventilated spaces.
Do not leave oxygen cylinders in the cabs of vehicles without ventilation. If a cylinder leaks, a spark
could start a re causing serious injury or death.
Remove cylinders from the vehicle when the destination is reached. Be sure to secure cylinders from
movement during transport.
Heat, Humidity, Sun and Articial Light have no effect on operation as long as the device is used
within the product specications.
This device contains electrical and/or electronic equipment. Follow local governing ordinances and
recycling plans regarding disposal of device components.

Alertas
Alerta de ausencia de inspiración – Si la unidad está activada y no se ha detectado inspiración durante 15
segundos, se activará las alertas sonoras y visibles hasta que se detecte la inhalación o hasta que el selector
giratorio cambie a la posición de desconectado.
NOTA– El modo de ujo continuo no está cebado por las baterías y puede utilizarse sin tener en cuenta el
nivel de las mismas. Si fallara el aparato o se agotaran las baterías, el usuario debe cambiar manualmente la
unidad al modo de ujo continuo para suministrar el oxígeno. El aparato no cambiará automáticamente al
modo de ujo continuo. La botella de oxígeno no durará tanto en el modo de ujo continuo como en el modo
PulseDose. A menos que haya algún problema con la unidad, como que se hayan gastado las baterías, la
unidad deberá utilizarse en el modo PulseDose.
INTRODUCCIÓN
Como funciona el PulseDose
El PulseDose extiende de modo drástico el tiempo de uso del suministro de oxígeno, ofreciendo mayor
movilidad,comodidadyecacia.LaconabilidadyseguridaddelsuministrodeoxígenoPulseDosehasido
probada de manera efectiva en pruebas clínicas al igual que por medio de pruebas independientes realizadas
por médicos y terapeutas del tracto respiratorio.
¿Qué es el PulseDose? El concepto PulseDose tiene como base el modo normal de respiración que consiste
en la inhalación durante 1/3 del tiempo
y la exhalación durante cerca de 2/3 del tiempo. A 20 RPM, y suponiendo que la inspiración es 1/3 del ciclo
respiratorio,eloxígenosuministradoconelujocontinuoseráde16,5cc/LPM.Comoconsecuencia,el
PulseDose extiende el tiempo de uso de un sistema de oxígeno en un promedio de 3:1. El PulseDose detecta
el comienzo de la inhalación e instantáneamente libera una dosis corta “pulsante” al principio del ciclo de
respiración. Puesto que todo el oxígeno “pulsante” llega a los pulmones, se requiere menos oxígeno para
lograrelmismoefectoqueconlossistemasdeujocontinuodeoxígenotradicionales.Estosignicaqueun
sistemadeoxígenoPulseDosedurarádedosacuatrovecesmásqueunsistemadeujocontinuode
oxígeno,yalavezproporcionarálosmismosbeneciosterapéuticos.
Debidoaqueeloxígenoseliberaúnicamentedurantelainhalación,seeliminaelujoconstantedeoxígenoa
las fosas nasales. Muchos usuarios encuentran el suministro de oxígeno PulseDose más cómodo que los
sistemasdesuministrodeujocontinuo.El“pulso”cortodeoxígenosuministradodurantelainhalaciónes
prácticamente imposible de detectar y la humedad del aire en la habitación ayuda a mantener el nivel normal
de humedad en las fosas nasales. Esto reduce en gran medida las molestias causadas por la deshidratación
relacionadaconlossistemasdeoxígenodeujocontinuo.
Debido a que el PulseDose responde a los modos de respiración de cada individuo, el tiempo de uso variará
de un individuo a otro dependiendo de la frecuencia de respiración y de la cantidad prescrita del PulseDose.
La siguiente tabla muestra teóricamente los rangos ambulatorios de los productos PulseDose de DeVilbiss.
NOTA– Todos los rangos ambulatorios se calculan partiendo de una frecuencia de respiración de 20
respiraciones por minuto en el modo PulseDose (PD).
