INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
III. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
A. Installation
The PD1000 utilizes a rotary selector that has three
modes for use by the patient. Those modes are: OFF,
"PulseDose", and Continuous Flow. The PD1000 is
battery operated and is turned off by turning the Rotary
Selector to the "OFF" position. The unit requires (2)
"AA" batteries to operate in PulseDose mode (Figure
1). The batteries will not become discharged as a
result of not turning the Rotary Selector to the "OFF"
position.

The PD1000 mounts on a standard CGA870 type post
using guide pins and the knob (Figure 2). It can be
used on C, D, E, ML-6, M4 and M-6 size tanks at
pressures between 500-2250 PSIG. Also verify that the
regulator seal (Part #9286-RD) is in place and in good
condition (Section VI, A). Position the guide pins into
the tank post holes, and tighten the knob until the
PD1000 is securely in position and there are no seal
leaks.

The tank valve can now be slowly opened and the
rotary selector can be set to the prescribed ow rate.
Verify that a pulse is being delivered at the leading
edge of each inhalation. As the ow rate is increased,
so is the duration of the pulse (Figure 3).
To use the PD1000 in the "Continuous Flow" mode,
turn the Rotary Selector to the "CF" position (Figure 3).
See Note in the Important Parts section of the
instruction guide A-1000.

The "CF" ow rate is set at 2 liters per minute. This
ow rate can be changed by changing cannula ttings
(Figure 4). See Service Instructions Section VI, D.

Cannula Fitting
B. Operation
When using the PD1000 in the PulseDose mode, the
patient must breathe through the nose only. A standard
nasal cannula must be used. Do not use a pediatric or
low-ow cannula. The cannula with tubing can be up to
35 feet in length, but a 10 foot maximum is
recommended to lessen the chances of the oxygen
cylinder tipping over while in use.
Do not use on patients who can only mouth breathe.
The PD1000 should only be used on patients capable
of nose breathing.
