1. Check the energy level of the battery each time you use the unit.

Refer to “Testing and Replacing Battery” for step-by-step instructions.

2. Check the oxygen cylinder setup and the cylinder contents gauge.

If you need to change cylinders, which includes removal and

reconnection of the ImPulse Elite unit, refer to Oxygen Cylinder

Connection for step-by-step instructions.

3. Make sure the PULSE FLOW / CONTINUOUS FLOW switch is moved

completely right (for pulse flow setting).

4. Set the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

All three lights illuminate for less than 1 second. The

ImPulse Elite unit automatically calibrates and reaches

sensitivity within approximately 15 seconds. Then the

green light shuts off, and the unit emits a short burst of

oxygen. This indicates ImPulse Elite is ready for use.

5. Connect your cannula to the oxygen outlet. (You may

use up to a 25 ft [7.5 m] cannula, if desired.) (Figure 11.)

6. Turn the cylinder valve slowly one full turn counter-

clockwise to begin oxygen flow.

7. Make sure the cylinder contents gauge on the ImPulse Elite unit registers

within the green shaded/green zoned areas.

This indicates an adequate oxygen supply in the cylinder. (If the cylinder

contents gauge indicates the red REFILL zone, the

cylinder needs to be replaced.)

8. Position the nasal cannula with the prongs inserted

into your nostrils.

9. Set the flow selector between 1 and 6 depending on

your prescribed dosage (Figure 12).
