Biodex Pulmonex
Xenon System
Designed for lung ventilation scans.
The Pulmonex System is the best choice
for the performance of all regional ventilation
studies. Safe, accurate, simple to operate
and affordable. The built-in xenon gas trap
and disposable charcoal cartridge removes
xenon effluent after each study.
Internal systems of the Pulmonex are
shielded for patient and operator safety.
The system features a built-in gas trap
that operates with a blower fan. Exhaled
xenon is pulled through activated charcoal
housed within a .125" lead shielded trap.
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.
Air flow regulation of the trap pump assures
complete patient and system washout.
Averaging 15 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 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 (air-in and air-out) and
motor-assisted air flow combine to provide
resistance-free breathing.
All three steps of a Pulmonex Xenon
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 fifteen
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.
