 Company:  Airsep

 Summary:  The Ambulatory Oxygen System for Complete Patient Mobility

Features
• Easy to operate with just one “D” alkaline battery (Energizer recommended). Cannula connects in seconds. Patient-accessible controls.
• Oxygen-conserving technology allows smaller cylinders to last longer.
• With ImPulse Elite, the “D” battery provides the greatest ambulation time. For most patients, 10–18 months.
• Pulse modes offer up to 6 lpm efficiency.
• Fail-safe electronic circuitry and alarm system provide added assurance of proper unit function and oxygen delivery.
• Audible alarm when device does not detect inhalation (inspiration), if cannula is disconnected or tubing kinked, or if the unit is inadvertently left on when not in use.
• Only minimal maintenance required.
• Designed for maximum patient mobility.
• Economical way for ambulatory oxygen patients to enjoy freedom of movement.
• Developed to enhance quality of life for patients using supplemental oxygen.

Introduction
ImPulse™ Elite is an electronic oxygen conserving device (OCD) that provides convenience and mobility to patients with therapeutic oxygen needs. Designed and manufactured by AirSep Corporation, ImPulse Elite uses portable cylinders to provide patients with oxygen delivery at their prescribed dosages.

With this device, actual oxygen delivery to the patient occurs at or near the beginning of the breathing cycle when the patient starts to inhale.

Because ImPulse Elite does not deliver oxygen during exhalation, which accounts for approximately two-thirds of the breathing cycle, it wastes little or no oxygen. This differs greatly from conventional oxygen systems that deliver oxygen continuously. In addition, many patients are more comfortable with oxygen conserving devices than continuous flow systems because they have fewer problems with nasal dehydration that can result from constant flow into the nostrils.
