CAPSULSTM Patient Isolation Unit (PIU)
Model 2004CN-PUR8C – for single clinical use
Model 2004TR-PUR8C – for non-clinical training use
The CAPSULSTM (Containment and Protection System Utilizing Life Support) is a portable Patient Isolation Unit
(PIU) which prevents particulate (biological and radiological) cross-contamination between the patient and the
external environment, and with features that enable medical intervention to the patient via end-user supplied
medical equipment. The CAPSULSTM PIU is intended to be used for:
1) the transport and isolation of patients on aircraft, ambulances, ships, and any vehicle capable of safely
transporting a patient on a standard litter.
2) the temporary isolation with or without transport of patients within hospitals or other medical facilities.
CAPSULSTM is a Regulatory Class II medical device. It has been cleared by the FDA for marketing in the U.S.
(510(k) K052798). CAPSULSTM is covered under U. S. and European patents.

Features:
• Positive Pressure Patient Protection – CAPSULSTM can be operated in positive pressure mode to protect
an enclosed patient from outside contaminants. Isolator overpressure is developed by a powered air supply
at its head end.
• Negative Pressure Patient Containment – CAPSULSTM can be operated in negative pressure mode to
enclose and isolate a contaminated patient, preventing cross-contamination to the outside. A powered air
exhaust at its foot end develops isolator under-pressure.
(Litter Recommended for Negative Pressure Operation)
• Patient Airflow – Airflow to the patient in positive pressure mode (or from the patient in negative mode) is
provided by a battery-powered PAPR (powered air-purifying respirator) blower fitted with CBRN primary
filters. The 4 cfm rated blower provides 17 to 21 air changes per hour within the isolator depending on
patient volume. Regardless of operating mode, patient airflow is always supplied at the head end exhausted
at the foot end. Blower run time on a replaceable, single-use BA5800/U lithium battery is approximately 7 to
10 hours.
• Primary Filtering – The primary filters for removal of contamination are CBRN (chemical, biological,
nuclear, radiological) filter canisters similar to the military C2A1 and are mounted on the blower input ports.
These canisters provide charcoal filtering of chemicals and chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and particulate
filtering to HE/P-100 standards (99.97% @0.3µ).

• Backflow Control – Check valves and/or HE/P-100 secondary filters prevent backflow of air and potential
cross-contamination at the air inlet ports that are not connected to the blower.
• Particulate Barrier – ISOVAC’s Iso-ShellTM engineered plastic film shell material, pressure-seal zipper, and
Iso-WeldTM seaming technology, together form a gas and liquid-tight envelope, providing a solid barrier to
biological and radiological particulates. Barrier redundancy is achieved through the use of over or under
pressurization of the envelope. The CAPSULSTM barrier system has undergone testing by U.S. military
agencies responsible for chemical and biological defense.
• Seaming Technology – ISOVAC’s proprietary Iso-WeldTM seaming
technology fuses materials together to produce a redundant and
100% gas and liquid tight seam that is stronger than the materials
alone.
• Closure Technology – CAPSULSTM zippers provide a gas and
liquid-tight seal and undergo 100% pressure testing by their
manufacturer. The zipper is attached to the CAPSULSTM’ Iso-
ShellTM envelope barrier using the same proprietary Iso-WeldTM
seaming technology.
• Litter Transport - CAPSULSTM has three snap-buckle cinch straps Backflow
for mounting it on a standard litter. The litter provides a stable with HEPA filters
platform to lift and carry a patient without undue stress on the
barrier envelope, and is required for negative pressure operation.
This also allows CAPSULSTM to be transported within any medical
evacuation vehicle (ambulance, aircraft, or ship) already capable of
securing a litter, without vehicle modification or additional equipment.
• Easy Setup - A CAPSULSTM PIU can be unpacked from its shipping
box or carry bag, unfolded, attached to a litter, setup, and loaded with
a patient by two trained personnel in about fifteen (15) minutes. The
required litter can be supplied by the end-user or purchased from
ISOVAC at additional cost.
Primary Filters on Blower
• Easy Load – The CAPSULSTM “suitcase” style opening allows
unrestricted access to its interior for ease of patient loading and connection of end-user supplied medical
equipment.

• Easy View - The CAPSULSTM clear barrier envelope enables visual monitoring of the entire patient and
provides the patient with an unrestricted view of his/her surroundings.
• Patient Tethers – CAPSULSTM incorporates a versatile system for securing a patient including multiple
individual leg straps, and a multi-point upper torso harness. The number and locations of the straps can be
adjusted to accommodate a wide range of patient sizes and types of injury.

• Medical Intervention – CAPSULSTM is fitted with 8 glove arms (4 per side) to facilitate patient treatment,
and is equipped with a number of medical access ports of various sizes for the pass-through of medical
tubing and instrument leads.
• Durability – The CAPSULSTM proprietary Iso-ShellTM barrier materials offer a minimum improvement of ten-
fold in their abrasion, puncture, and tear resistance over PVC-based materials of the same thickness. A
reinforced base mat attached to the barrier envelope for added durability and protection, and provides
attachment points for the carry straps and litter tethers.
• Extended Temperature Range - The CAPSULSTM proprietary Iso-ShellTM barrier materials and zipper offer
an operating temperature range greatly exceeding that of PVC materials. They remain flexible and user-
friendly from -40oF to 140oF. The blower battery has a specified operating range of from -26oF to +122oF.
• Decontamination - The CAPSULSTM proprietary Iso-ShellTM barrier materials, Iso-WeldTM seaming
technology, gas and liquid-tight sealing zipper, coated carry straps, and glove-arm caps provide a smooth,
non-absorbent surface that is free of pockets and crevices that might allow entrapment of CWAs,
contaminants, and decontamination agents. This greatly improves the efficiency and efficacy of the
decontamination process.
• Fluid/Waste Control – Primary control of patient waste is intended to be via end-
user supplied adult diapers and/or urinary catheters, and press and seal waste
bags. Secondary control of body fluids can be accomplished with end-user supplied
absorbent pads placed under the patient.
• Ancillary Parts - Ancillary parts and materials include with CAPSULSTM are a
user’s manual, a blower user’s manual, a waterproof patient ID card with wire tie
and marker, a blower outlet hose and air flow indicator, and a set of HE/P-100
filters. PIU in carry bag
• Carry Bag - CAPSULSTM and all of its components are supplied packed in a carry
bag for ease of transport.
