Description
The Nippy Clearway is a pressure controlled, mechanical insufflator / exsufflator cough assist machine. It assists in the mobilisation and clearance of bronchial secretions by inflating the lungs with a positive airway pressure then providing a rapid change to negative pressure to assist the patient’s cough. In auto modes a graphical representation of the treatment and an audible synchronisation signal is provided to help synchronise the cough effort with the shift to negative pressure.
Ambient air is compressed by a turbine and delivered to the patient through a close fitting facemask, mouthpiece or a tracheotomy. Very accurate and consistent pressure control is achieved using the Clearway’s unique bi-directional servo control valve and remote pressure sensing. The pressure displayed on-screen is the actual working pressure at the mask/patient interface.
The output pressure and timing can be adjusted by controls on the fascia panel. The Pressure, and all settings are displayed on a colour LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) screen.
The settings can be achieved using the buttons around the outside of the display. More advanced features and adjustments can be accessed via the menu.
It is designed for non-continuous use. The Nippy Clearway may be used for up to 30 minutes in any 1 hour period.
For greater convenience the Nippy Clearway may be powered by an external battery.
When using Clearway as a portable device it should be placed in its mobility bag (pt. no. 0960.114)
There are 5 modes of operation:-
Manual Positive and negative pressures are applied using the manual switch on the front of the machine or with a remote handheld switch plugged into the RS232 input.
Basic Auto In basic auto mode the Clearway cycles between insufflation and exsufflation followed by a pause, for a maximum of 20 cycles.
Timed Programmable Auto The Nippy Clearway can be pre programmed to deliver a timed sequence, which could include one or more insufflations before exsufflation. This sequence can be repeated up to 10 times if desired.
Triggered Programmable Auto This is the same as the timed auto mode with patient trigger on insufflations.
NIV NIV mode is provided to give the patient up to 15 minutes of respiratory support prior to or post treatment.

Intended Use The Nippy Clearway may be used in hospital or homecare environment. The NIPPY Clearway is typically used in patients who are unable to cough and effectively clear secretions due to reduced peak cough expiratory flow as a result of neuromuscular disorders, spinal cord injuries or severe fatigue associated with intrinsic lung disease. It may be used either with a face mask or mouthpiece, or tracheostomy tube. Secretions will usually be cleared to the mouth so yankauer suction may be required. Very young or weak individuals may still need to use naso pharengeal suction. Nippy Clearway must be prescribed by, and used only under the supervision of a qualified physician.
Contraindications
Pneumothorax or pneumo-mediasinum Facial trauma – interface should be considered Tracheoesophageal fistula Recent or existing barotrauma Bullous emphysema Spinal Instability Acute pulmonary oedema Acute lung injury Caution is advised in patients with cardiovascular instability

Switch on the Clearway before the oxygen.
When treatment is complete, switch off and disconnect the oxygen supply, Switch off the Clearway and disconnect the breathing circuit. Store the breathing circuit in a clean bag or other suitable container.
DO NOT leave the oxygen connected when not in use. This can cause a build-up of oxygen in, or around the machine
DO NOT block the end of the breathing circuit with oxygen connected.
DO NOT expose oxygen to naked flames.
DO NOT smoke in the vicinity
DO NOT use a gas cooker in the vicinity
DO NOT use a gas, oil or solid fuel heater in the vicinity
Precaution: always follow user instructions when entraining Oxygen.

Running the Nippy Clearway on Battery Power
Nippy Clearway may be powered from the mains or an external battery.
The machine will select its power source, according to the power available, in the following sequence:-
1. – Mains Electricity
2. - External Battery (if connected)
In order to save battery power, the machine will always run on mains electricity if it is present.
If the mains fails or is not connected, the machine will select external battery as the next choice.
If there is no external battery the machine will shut down.
Battery Run Times
Battery run times are dependent on the machine settings and the amount of leak. High pressures and /or high breath rates use power and therefore shorten run times. Large leaks use power and shorten run times.
Average run time is expected to be approx. 1 hour.
External Batteries
The external battery pack is supplied specifically to power the Nippy Clearway. External battery part number 0960.111A (1062) External battery charger part number 0960.112 (0999) These batteries should never be used to run any other type of equipment. DO NOT attempt to connect any battery other than those supplied by the manufacturer. Use of any other type of battery could lead to personal injury and damage to the machine. The external battery connector is of a touch proof, self-locking design.
It has two polarising keys of different sizes which must be aligned with the corresponding recesses in the aux power socket.
To connect the external battery grip the battery connector body (coloured blue) and insert into the aux power socket. Twist clockwise to lock in place.
To disconnect, grip the battery connector locking sleeve (coloured grey), turn anticlockwise and withdraw the connector.
29
Instructions For Use
Connect the battery to the Nippy Clearway Aux Power input. The Power light will illuminate. Switch on the Nippy Clearway. The Ext Batt light will flash and a “Running on
battery power” message will be displayed on the Nippy Clearway screen. Press the Set button to hide the message.
To disconnect a battery: Always switch off the machine first.
To Charge a Battery
Place the charger on a smooth flat surface. Connect the charger to the battery charge socket before switching on the
mains power. Connect the mains plug to the AC supply and switch on. Leave on charge until the charged / ready indicator lights.
Batteries may produce explosive gases during charging. Always charge away from sparks or sources of ignition. Do not smoke near a battery whilst charging.
Disconnect the mains power before disconnecting the battery from the charger.
Batteries may be left connected to the charger until required for use.
Safety Warning! High voltages exist inside the charger. Do not remove the cover. Return to B & D Electromedical if a fault occurs. Do Not expose to water or dust. Do not cover the charger whilst in use Ensure that the mains lead is not damaged. Do not attempt to charge any other type of battery with it.
Battery pack cleaning
To clean, wipe the exterior of the case with a soft cloth moistened with water.
Battery Care
DO NOT use any other type of battery charger. This could lead to damage to the battery and personal injury.
The battery should be recharged as soon as possible after use. This type of battery does not suffer from the memory effect that is widely talked
about and does not need to be fully discharged before charging. Batteries like to be used. A new battery may require several charge/discharge
cycles before it reaches its maximum performance. The same applies to a battery that is only used occasionally with long periods in storage.
30
Battery Life
The end of life is defined by the maximum running time falling to 75% of that of a new battery. For a battery that is used occasionally service life is 2 years. Replace the battery when running times drop below those indicated or after 2 years.
Battery Storage This type of battery is best stored partly charged. A battery that is not in use will slowly discharge. This rate of discharge increases with temperature. Ideally the storage temperature should be above -20oC and below 20oC. It must be below 40oC. After storage in a cold environment allow 24 hours for the battery to reach room temperature before use. Fully charge the battery every 2 months.
Battery Test
Test the battery monthly or if the running time seems low, a fault is suspected, or to confirm that the battery is good. Ensure the battery is fully charged. Run the machine from the battery until the low battery alarm operates and record
the running time. If the battery run time is less than 30 minutes replace it. If the battery is good, fully recharge it immediately after testing.
Hints and Tips for Reliable Operation
Always make sure that the battery is fully charged before use.
Do not switch off charger until battery is fully charged.
Avoid the temptation to give the battery “a quick boost”. This is of no benefit.
If you are in doubt the state of charge, charge for at least 24 hours.
If running time suddenly seems considerably shorter than normal, make sure that
the battery is fully charged.
Do not charge your battery near sources of ignition.
Check the running time of your system regularly.
If you have more than one battery, use them in rotation.
Do not use if any of the cables or components show any sign of damage.
Most reported problems arise from incorrect battery charging.
Disposal of depleted batteries
Depleted batteries may be disposed of in line with local authority regulations.
31
Connecting auxiliary monitoring equipment For monitoring or downloading data the Nippy Clearway may be connected to a PC or Laptop computer. The Nippy Clearway isolated RS232 port is safe for use with any domestic PC or laptop computer. However, when assembling a system, the completed system should comply with EN60601-1 (medical systems). For example, most computers do not comply with this standard, so it should be sited at a distance, which makes it impossible to touch the computer and the patient at the same time.

Operation Under Extreme Conditions
Ambient Temperature in the range of +5 to +50 oC Between 5 and 40 degrees functioning of the machine should not be affected. Extremes of temperature (below 5oC, above 40oC) may affect the colour of the LCD display. This will return to normal with the temperature. Operation above 40 degrees is not recommended. The machine may overheat at elevated temperatures. A visual alarm will be activated in the event of over temperature (Internal ambient >50). Air conditioning should be employed to keep the room temperature below 40 degrees.
Ambient Relative Humidity in the range of 10 to 100% RH The machine is expected to function correctly at extremes of humidity. High humidity levels may affect the colour of the LCD display. This will return to normal with the humidity.
Atmospheric Pressure in the range of 600mBar to 1100mBar The machine is expected to function correctly between 600 and 1100 mBar.
Supply Voltage Range from –20% to +10% of specified value The Nippy Clearway will operate normally.
Failure of Electrical Power Supply The machine may be operated normally using an external battery. During total power failure,there will be no output from the machine. The patient will be able to breathe spontaneously through the machine and out through the exhale port. However, some re-breathing of exhaled gas is inevitable. During power/machine failure disconnect the patient from the breathing circuit as soon as possible. The inspiratory / expiratory resistance of the Nippy Clearway and breathing system (Nippy Clearway and circuit) is less than 6cm H2O @ 60 l/min. This value must not be exceeded when adding attachments or fittings to the breathing circuit.

No modification of this equipment is allowed. Do not attempt to pass oxygen into the panel mounted air inlet, or use with flammable anaesthetic agents e.g. Ether etc.
CAUTIONS
The Nippy Clearway should only be used in accordance with the instructions of the supervising physician. Personnel using and operating the Nippy Clearway must become familiar with this instruction manual before using the unit.
Ensure patient safety through the presence of a trained attendant and an alternative means of treatment.
The Nippy Clearway should not be placed close to high frequency surgical diathermy, defibrillator or short wave therapy equipment as it may adversely affect the operation.
The functioning of the machine can be adversely affected by electromagnetic interference exceeding the level of 3V/m in the test conditions of EN60601-1-2. e.g. mobile telephone operation may adversely affect the operation of the machine.
If the Nippy Clearway is moved from cold surroundings into a well-heated room, condensation may form. Do not operate the unit for at least 2 hours to allow any condensation to evaporate.
Do not operate the machine in direct sunlight.
Avoid places where there is excessive humidity or dust, which may cause damage to internal parts.
Keep the Nippy Clearway away from extreme direct heat, such as fires, heating radiators etc., and always allow a 100mm (4.0in) air space around the unit when in use.
If liquids are allowed to enter the unit, serious damage could occur. If you spill any liquid into the Nippy Clearway, consult qualified service personnel.
Do not place any form of cover over the machine, especially near the air intake.
DO NOT use anti static or electrically conductive tubing.
Adding extra components / sub-assemblies to the breathing circuit may cause the pressure, during expiration, at the patient connection port of the breathing circuit to increase.
If intending to transport the device or use in multiple locations the device should be placed in the mobility bag (0960.114) to provide protection against the elements.
