USER DIRECTIONS:
Your doctor or healthcare professional
has prescribed the OXYMIZER oxygen-
conserving device for you. Used properly,
this device will provide you with the
oxygen you need, as well as these added
benefits:
 It will take a lower flow rate to get
the same amount of oxygen into your
body, which can be as much as 75%
less (depending on the flow rate) than a
standard nasal cannula.
 If you use a portable oxygen system,
it will last longer and allow you to be
away from your main oxygen source
for a longer period of time; or, you may
be able to use a smaller, lighter weight
portable system.
It is important that you follow your
SK\VLFLDQ·VLQVWUXFWLRQVFDUHIXOO\
concerning:
 How often and how long you receive
oxygen from the system.
 The flow rate to use.
(Note: The flow rate indicated for use
with the OXYMIZER device may be 1/4 -
1/2 of the amount prescribed with a non-
oxygen-conserving cannula.)
 When to replace your OXYMIZER

HOW TO PUT ON THE OXYMIZER PENDANT
1. Uncoil the tubing
completely. Hold the
device so that the
front of the Pendant is
facing away from you.
(Note: The front of the
Pendant is designated
with slots.)
2. Position the nasal
prongs so that they fit
comfortably into your
nostrils. The prongs
should extend well into
and point toward the back of your nose.
3. Position the nasal
prongs and extend
the tubing across your
cheekbones.
4. Place the tubing
around your ears and
adjust each side so
that you have a snug,
comfortable fit. Do not
allow the tubing to go
completely around your Neck. This may
create a choking hazard.
5. Attach the tubing clip to join both
sides of the cannula
tubing. Slide the
clip upward beneath
your chin to hold the
tubing in place (you
may choose not to
use the clip simply by
removing it).
6. The Pendant
portion should rest
against your chest
below your throat. You may want to tuck
it under your shirt or blouse.
7. Connect the female connector to your
oxygen source.
8. Turn on the oxygen and set the flow
rate as prescribed by your doctor or
health care professional. (NOTE: The
flow rate prescribed for use with this
device may be 1/4-1/2 that prescribed
with a non-oxygen-conserving cannula.)
