LUNG VENTIL AT ION SYST EMS A ND AC C ESSORIES PULMONEX® II XENON SYSTEM • Resistance-free breathing with 25-liter capacity • Complete .125" lead shielding in upper cabinet for patient and operator safety • Easy access to replace Drierite and Soda-Lime cartridges • Effortless mobility for easy patient positioning • Stylish steel cabinet • Convenient built-in stainless steel tray for holding disposables, xenon gun, syringe, etc. T he Pulmonex II® Xenon System is the best choice for the safe performance of all regional ventilation studies. This is a completely closed system that delivers maximum, reliable results, is simple to operate and reasonably priced. Resistance-Free Breathing The injected bolus of xenon will reach the patient exactly when desired. Oxygen may be added to the system any time during the study with the press of a button. An in-line cartridge containing Soda-Lime absorbs CO2, preventing acidosis. Large breathing passages, two 10-liter breathing bags (airin and air-out) and motor-assisted airflow combine to provide resistance-free breathing. Simple to Operate All three steps of a Pulmonex II study (start up, equilibrium imaging and washout) are controlled by a single valve handle on the front panel. The valve directs the motor-assisted flow of gases throughout the system. A manually adjusted 15-minute timer initiates all functions, then automatically shuts down the system to complete the study after patient and system washout. With controls conveniently located on the front panel, the user can operate the system and observe the patient and gamma camera from one position. Panel controls are clearly marked for each mode of the procedure with large viewing windows to make it easy to monitor the patient’s breathing. A trim, clean design, large handles and total mobility permit easy positioning of the system for studies in both seated and supine positions. Easy access to Soda-Lime and Drierite cartridges, supplied with the system. Xenon Convenience Kits, including pre-filled Soda-Lime and Drierite cartridges for single use only, are also available. Designed for Safety Internal systems of the Pulmonex II are shielded for patient and operator safety. The system features two built-in gas traps that operate with a blower fan. Exhaled xenon is pulled through activated charcoal housed within two .125" lead shielded “U”-shaped traps. The double traps extend the life of your charcoal and provide a lengthy migration path for xenon effluent, allowing greater decay and absorption before exhaustion. A cartridge containing Drierite serves as a moisture absorber for air passing into the trap. The charcoal trap can then more effectively remove xenon effluent after each study. Airflow regulation of the trap blowers assure complete patient and system washout. Averaging 30-50 studies per month, the charcoal trap will last approximately one year; charcoal traps are easily replaced. A disposable bacteriostatic filter, used in conjunction with a disposable mask or mouthpiece, prevents system contamination. The NEW Pulmonex Cover helps meet The Joint Commission’s recommendation to maintain cleanliness and protect respiratory equipment when not in use. 72 Biodex Medical Systems, Inc. • www.biodex.com
