ImPulse Elite as a Portable Unit
The ImPulse Elite unit and its accessories are light
weight and portable. This means that ImPulse Elite
can go virtually anywhere you go.
CAUTION: Do not expose the device to, or
submerge it in, water.
CAUTION: Do not expose the device to extreme
temperatures.
The universal-style carrying case, as shown in
Figure 14, can be used with the unit. During use,
ImPulse Elite should remain in your carrying case.
This ensures added protection for the unit and allows
discreet use. Simply check periodically to ensure
that your cannula connection is secure and that the
cylinder shutoff valve remains in the open position
(one full turn counterclockwise) to enable oxygen
flow.

Proper Care & Maintenance
Each time you use the ImPulse Elite, check the
following as described on page 8; 1.) battery level,
2.) cylinder contents, 3.) pulse flow / continuous
flow setting, 4.) the green pulse light shuts off in
approximately 15 seconds after turning on switch, 5.)
listen for gas leaks coming from the ImPulse Elite
and oxygen cylinder. For any failure, refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide on page 11.
Keep the ImPulse Elite clean and free from moisture,
dust, and extreme temperatures. To help prevent
possible damage to the unit, keep ImPulse Elite in its
carrying case.
Clean the unit periodically by wiping with a lint-free
cloth. Pay special attention to the oxygen outlet for
the cannula connection to make sure it remains free
of dust, water, etc. Do not expose or submerge the
ImPulse Elite device in water.
We recommend using a one-part bleach to 99 parts
water solution or using Fantastik
®
spray cleaner as a
safe cleaner for the ImPulse Elite’s outer housing.
A list of undesirable chemical cleaning agents
includes, but is not limited to the following, according
to the plastic manufacturer: alcohol and alcohol-based
products (isopropyl alcohol), concentrated chlorine-
based products (Ethylene Chloride), and oil-based
products (Pine-Sol, Lestoil). These are NOT to be
used to clean the plastic housing on the ImPulse Elite
OCD. These chemicals and the cleaners that contain
them will crystallize the plastic and break down the
plastic’s molecular properties.
Replace the disposable cannula periodically following
normal usage. Additional supplies are available from
your Equipment Provider or AirSep.
Return empty oxygen cylinders to your supplier for
replacement. Remove the unit from the empty cylinder
before returning the cylinder to your supplier.
Note: Do not open the electronic compartment to service the
device. Open only the battery compartment when necessary.
To prevent a voided AirSep warranty, follow all manufacturer’s
instructions.
