Chapter 1: Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the TXP™5 emergency high-frequency ventilator.
High-Frequency Percussive Ventilation (HFPV) can be lifesaving for patients with
fragile, congested, or sti lungs weakened by barotrauma or infection. HFPV is a
solution that requires neither the pressure of mechanical ventilation nor the breathing
action of the patient.
HFPV provides respiratory assistance as the patient breathes through the Phasitron®.
The patented Phasitron® uses a unique venturi as a“clutch”mechanism to protect the lung
from over-pressure. By automatically adjusting to the resistance of the lung, the Phasitron®
precisely, and safely delivers the optimal amount and pressure of air required by the
alveolar space. When lung resistance is low, as in a compliant lung, all the pulsed air from
the TXP™5 enters the mouth of the venturi. Each air pulse draws up to four times as much
additional air into the venturi tube. This low-pressure entrained air automatically lls the
available space in the lung. The Phasitron® continuously and instantaneously adjusts to
keep a gentle and safe air pressure even in a compromised lung.

The eects of HFPV occur with or without the cooperation of the patient. HFPV provides
a sub-tidal gas exchange within the respiratory bronchioles with associated alveolar
recruitment maintaining a minimal mean intrathoracic expiratory pressure increase
for peripheral lung stabilization. This allows for mechanical ventilation to provide for
peripheral lung recruitment while minimizing the potential for induced barotrauma.

Warnings and Cautions
Warnings
A WARNING icon indicates a risk of injury to a patient or operator.
A CAUTION icon indicates a risk of equipment damage.
Articial Airway If the HFPV device is used on a patient with an indwelling
airway (i.e., endotracheal or tracheostomy tube), a clinician
must be present so that a one-to-one relationship exists.
These devices enhance secretion clearance. Patients must
be assessed for a reduced functional residual capacity (FRC).
Patient Monitoring Complete a clinical assessment before placing a patient on
the TXP™5 ventilator.
Personnel The operator of the TXP™5 is responsible for reading
Qualications and understanding the manual before use.
TXP™5 is a medical device designed for hospital use
by trained clinicians under the supervision of a
physician. Only change the prescription and device
settings on the order of the supervising physician.
Pre-Use Check Always conduct a pre-use check before starting HFPV
with the TXP™5.
Suctioning Perform suctioning as necessary; pulmonary alveoli cannot
be ventilated when their transmitting airways are obstructed.
Cleaning Do not use any steam cleaning methods to clean the device
or Phasitron® A50606-TXP breathing circuit.
Always follow hospital/institutional protocols for
cleaning and disinfection.
Maintenance The TXP™5 must not be opened by anyone other than
Percussionaire®-authorized service personnel.
Maintain and service the TXP™5 device according to
the recommendations provided in this manual.
Only use Percussionaire® accessories explicitly designed
for use with the TXP™5 device.
Malfunctions If the TXP™5 malfunctions, it should not be utilized
any further. Report any malfunctions immediately.
Read and All persons providing HFPV therapy must be trained
Understand Manual in the use of the TXP™5.
Safety Do not place objects on top of the TXP™5. Do not cover the
device during use. Do not lean on device.

Chapter 2: Intended Use
The TXP™5 is designed for emergency ventilation of adult, pediatric, or neonatal patients.
The device is intended for hospital or pre-hospital use, emergency care,
intra-hospital, and external hospital transport. The TXP™5 is intended for use under the
supervision of a licensed physician, by both properly trained clinicians and personnel
with limited training. The TXP™5 requires a 50 psi source capable of maintaining 15 LPM.
A medical source of compressed oxygen or air is preferred, but other emergency sources
may be used.

Clinical Limitations/Restrictions
Use of the TXP™5 is limited to qualied individuals who have received training.
WARNING: Suctioning should be performed as necessary; pulmonary alveoli cannot
be ventilated when airways are obstructed.
WARNING: When used, a clinician must be present so that a one-to-one relationship
exists. These devices enhance secretion clearance. Patients must be assessed pre- and
post-ventilation for a reduced functional residual capacity (FRC) or the need for assistance
in clearing airway secretions.
WARNING: When using an HME (Heat-Moisture Exchanger), connect between the
Phasitron®breathing circuit and the patient. Follow all setup instructions provided by the
HME manufacturer.
NOTE: Any HME attached to the Phasitron®breathing circuit should comply with
ISO 9360-1 or ISO 9360-2.
