Chapter 1: Introduction TXP™5
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.
It is the user’s responsibility to follow the instructions given in this manual.
Keep the operating instructions near the device to ensure correct operation.
If the safety instructions are not followed, the patient may be at risk.
Articial Airway If the HFPV device is used on a patient with an
indwelling airway (i.e. endotracheal of 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 Prior to placing a patient on the TXP™5 ventilator,
a clinical assessment should be completed.
Personnel Qualications The operator of the TXP™5 is responsible to read
and understand the manual before use.
TXP™5 is a medical device designed for hospital use
by trained clinicians under the supervision of
a physician.
The prescription and other device settings should
only be changed 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.

Cautions
A CAUTION icon indicates a risk of equipment damage.
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 designed
specically 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 Understand All persons providing HFPV therapy must be trained
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 either hospital or pre-hospital use where emergency care is
being provided, including intra-hospital or 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. The device is not intended for an MRI
environment.

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 their 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.

Chapter 3: System Description
The TXP™5 ventilator provides High Frequency Percussive Ventilation (HFPV) as the
patient breathes through the Phasitron® breathing circuit.
The Frequency knob controls the frequency rate
from 200-700 pulses (inations) per minute.
The Amplitude control knob determines the pulse
amplitude delivered to the patient during inspiratory time.
NOTE: Amplitude is aected by lung compliance and
resistance.
NOTE: Amplitude is attenuated by resistance and
compliance to an airway pressure.

Tubing Connectors
Connect the Phasitron® breathing circuit easily by

The PDM has six dierent operating modes:
POST, Wake, Active, Report,
Sleep and Fault.
Numbers for reference only.
NOTE: Do not install PDM until the POST check is complete and the screen is blank,
indicating Sleep mode.
Power-On Self-Test (POST) Mode
When batteries are installed in a system, the PDM software displays the software
revision, battery voltage, total usage time and serial number for 15 seconds. This start-
up mode allows the software to perform additional tests on the hardware that are
part of the Power-On Self-Test. If any errors are detected the PDM enters Fault mode.
It is required that the measurement port be left disconnected and exposed to the
atmosphere for the entire duration of the Power-On Self-Test.

Active Mode
Software Version: TXP
Device: TXP™5
Display Metrics: Pulse Amplitude, Mean Airway Pressure, Pulse Frequency (inations)
and Pulse Amplitude Bar-Graph
At 16 seconds, the PDM enters Active mode. Pulse Amplitude is displayed at the top
right, calculated at the instantaneous moment of peak and trough amplitude pressure.
Mean Airway Pressure (MAP) averages pulse amplitude over 5 seconds. At 100 samples
per second, this is an average of 500 measurements.
To wake up the PDM, ensure the ventilator pressure is greater than 2.5 cmHO or 2 hPa at
the Phasitron® patient delivery port for more than 1 second, while connected to patient,
test lung or by occluding the Phasitron®.
The PDM remains on for the rst 15 seconds, showing the bar-graph timer.
If usage is stopped within 12 seconds, the PDM enters Report mode. After 15 seconds,
the current session continues counting from 16 seconds, which turns into Active mode.

After 5 minutes of no usage, the
System Information page is no longer
displayed and the time display ashes
(2 seconds on, 2 seconds o) for an
additional 25 minutes. The PDM enters
Sleep mode after 25 minutes.

PDM Sleep mode
In Sleep mode the LCD is o, but the
microcontroller continues to sample and
calculate the pressure at the measuring
port 5 times a second. Over any
3-second period, if the pressure is
greater than 2.5 cmHO or 2 hPa at the
Phasitron® patient delivery port, for
more than 1 second, the PDM enters
Wake mode.
The PDM displays an error message
on the LCD stating,“Contact Factory for
Service” and stays in Fault mode until both
batteries are removed. The displayed
information includes the software revision,
PDM serial number, the total usage time
and an error code for the exclusive use of
the factory.
In all other modes, the software continuously monitors the hardware for errors, as well as
verifying that each data sample has a valid value. If an error is detected, the software logs
the error and reboots the processor, which would cause it to recover from a transient
error. After reboot, the processor returns to the same mode it was in before the reboot.
If more than one error is detected in any 10-second period, it is considered a fatal error
and the software enters Fault mode.
NOTE: If System Failure screen is displayed, remove batteries for 30 seconds.
Replace batteries (note that positive terminals face same direction) and wait 30 seconds.
If POST check runs correctly, PDM may be used. If System Failure screen recurs, contact
Percussionaire® Corporation for factory service.
