I am Darla Gladstone, the Advocate Coordinator at Personalized Patient Services. We are contacting you to inform
you of (Patient’s Name) decision to utilize our services and how it can benefit you as her Primary care Physician.
Personalized Patient Services is an online knowledge base service where we will provide you access to the most up-
to-date information on (Patient’s Name) and her equipment, as well as protocols. Personalized Patient Services is a
knowledge base that will act as a living document, changed as machines and settings of such devices change. You
will be able to access Personalized Patient Services at any time and easily share it with providers specified by our
client (insert patient name). You will have permission to make notes and add comments to the database as a
provider.
Personalized Patient Services will provide up to date User Manuals, Training Materials, and a FAQ document on the
following machines used by (Patient’s Name):
● Ventilator
● Suction Machine
● Food Pump
● Nebulizer Machine
● Sprint Pack Charger
Please expect to receive an invitation via email no later than January 5, 2022. We will provide detailed instructions
and have a live operator available for questions. At that time, you may proceed to share viewing access with the
following providers listed in (Patient's Name) chart:
We recognize that, though you may not personally be using these machines, you are a central contact for caregivers
and providers who do. You can feel confident that the Personalized Patient Services knowledge base will remain
accurate and up to date when you share information and links to those specified above. Our goal is that our client
receives the best possible care moving forward. We will keep in close contact with you and your office regarding this
matter.
Thank you,
LTV 1150 In-Home Ventilator: This device breathes for the patient through
invasive mechanical ventilation. As an in-home caregiver, your job is to manage
the alarms, clean the filters daily, and keep all connections secure at all times.
The respiratory therapist adjusts the settings with a doctor's order. If you are
concerned that the settings are insufficient, you will need to call the prescribing
doctor to request an evaluation. There are instructions in the training materials
that will assist you in caring for this machine. If you have an unusual ERROR or
alarm code, you must contact the Intermountain Homecare Durable Medical
Equipment office at (801)***-****. You will ask to speak to the Respiratory
Therapist on call.
LTV 1150 Portable Ventilator: This ventilator is the same model as the in-home
vent. It will serve as a backup if the primary ventilator fails at any time. You will
care for this machine the same as the in-home ventilator. This machine is always
attached to a Sprint Pack, which you will ensure is always plugged in when the
patient is at home.
Devilbiss Suction Machine: This machine clears secretions from the patient's
nose and lungs. The suction machine must be by the patient's side at all times.
This machine attaches to the patient's wheelchair and is at her bedside.
Wherever the patient is, this machine needs to be. You will clean the suction
canister every day. You will adjust the knob on the side of the device to reflect
the pressure prescribed. If the suction machine is not achieving proper vacuum,
refer to the user manual for troubleshooting. You must act quickly. If you cannot
solve the problem promptly, you must contact the Intermountain Homecare
Durable Medical Equipment office at (801)***-****. You will ask to speak to the
Respiratory Therapist on call.
Enteral Lite Food Pump: This machine delivers food to the patient and runs on
a 24/7 cycle. The patient's nutritionist prescribes the settings. The machine uses
a bag to hold the food and automatically dispenses the food in short intervals.
You will fill the food bag five times in 24 hours. The food bag is disposable and
thrown out at precisely 7 am every morning. You will replace the food bag with a
new one. Instructions on how to do so will be in the training materials. The food
pump will be plugged in at the bedside during evening hours and will run on
battery during the day. You must plug this device in every night, or it will not hold
sufficient charge for the next day. If there are ERROR alarms, you will refer to the
user manual. If you cannot solve the problem through those avenues, you will
call the Intermountain Homecare Pharmacy Technicians at (801)***-****.

FAQ (5/7)
6
I turned the food pump on, and it started beeping without pause. What do I do?
You must allow the display to cycle through all settings before pushing any buttons on the keypad. If you do not allow the display to
cycle through all settings, it will beep a long and loud tone until you turn the pump off. Once you turn the pump off, you will be able
to start over and allow the display to cycle through all settings before pushing any buttons.
The machine will not prime even though I am pushing the prime button. How can I fix this?
There are two common problems when the food pump will not prime. You must remove the cap from the bag line to prime it;
otherwise, too much pressure prevents it from flowing. The second possibility is a kink or an occlusion in the food line. Lift the door
and remove the bag from the cassette. Inspect the line from bag to tip and ensure it is straight and unraveled. Replace the bag into
the pump and close the cover. Turn the machine off to reset the alarms before trying again.

The food pump is alarming with a DOSE DONE error, but it is set to a 24/7 cycle and is never
"done." What should I do?
The machine is programmed to deliver an infinite dose. The pump can only track a DOSE of 10,000. When you have a DOSE
DONE alarm, you need to go in and clear the DOSE. Reset that every time it has accumulated 10,000 ml's.

FAQ is designed to be a personalized quick guide. If you have general questions pertaining to the pump, refer to the online
