We have received an increasing number of inquiries related to the exhaled gas on the LifePulse HFJV. Please be advised the LifePulse HFJV utilizes a single-limbed circuit and has unidirectional gas flow, therefore all exhaled gas from the LifePulse HFJV and the conventional ventilator exits via the expiratory limb of the conventional circuit (or alternate CPAP circuit). Filtering of exhaled gases may be accomplished via the use of filters as recommended by the circuit and/or device manufacturer.
Given the current COVID-19 Pandemic, hospitals may be faced with inadequate numbers of conventional ventilators due to the reallocation to other patient units. Clinicians may need to utilize non-traditional methods for PEEP and Mean Airway Pressure generation for use with the LifePulse Jet Ventilator. Recommendations in the full document for these optional applications.
We encourage you to call the hotline at 800-800-4358 (HFJV) should this situation arise. Click Here: COVID-19 Guidance Document |
