PHASITRON® Breathing Circuit - A50095-1

The unique and patented patient interface which is the key to all Percussionaire® devices. Available in the traditional or therapy only duo unit.

PHASITRON® Breathing Circuit - A50095-1
Available in the ‘traditional’ (shown here) which may be used for all patients or Phasitron® Duo style, which may ONLY be used with those patients utilizing a mouthpiece.

The traditional circuit can stand up to any modern disinfection/sterilization procedure.

The traditional Phasitron® plus nebulizer breathing head incorporates a fail safe pressure relief and may be utilized in all patient populations; the 22mm/15mm interface may be used with a mouthpiece or with a mask and may also be connected directly to an ET tube or tracheotomy for a direct to airway treatment (please see Patient Criteria Algorithm for selection suggestions)”.

DURING THERAPEUTIC LUNG RECRUITMENT (TLRä) THE PHASITRONÒ BECOMES THE RESPIRATOR POSITIONED AT THE PATIENT’S PROXIMAL AIRWAY. SERVING AS AN INJECTOR EXHALATION VALVE REFERENCING AMBIENT, IT ADJUSTS THE PROGRAMMED INSPIRATORY AIR FLOW VELOCITY BY PRESSURE FEED BACK FROM THE CONSTANTLY CHANGING INTRAPULMONARY LUNG RESISTANCES TO INSTANTANEOUSLY REGULATE INSPIRATORY FLOW RATE. THUS, THE PHASITRONÒ SERVES AS A FLUIDIC CLUTCH AGAINST THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AIRWAY, WHICH IS EXPLAINED BY BERNOULLIAN LOGIC.

THEREFORE THE PHASITRONÒ PROVIDES FOR A BASIC LUNG PROTECTIVE STRATEGY TO PREVENT PREFERENTIAL AIRWAY BAROTRAUMA.

The patient breathes through a physiological interface called a Phasitron® delivering high flow sub tidal (mini-bursts) of air into the lungs at rates of from 100-300 times each minute.  During the delivery of the percussive bursts of air into the lungs, a continued wedge pressure is maintained to stabilize the pulmonary airways, while a percussive high velocity flow penetrates the airways and enhances endobronchial secretion mobilization. During therapeutic percussion, a dense aerosol mist serves to reduce the adhesive and cohesive forces of retained airway secretions is delivered into the lungs. During the therapeutic percussive interval there is a cyclical intrapulmonary exchange of respiratory gases, which serve to flush out Carbon Dioxide and renew Oxygen.
