Because the total delivery of oxygen via the SmartDose is related to breathing rates, it is user adaptive. Thetotal oxygen
delivered per minute will automatically adjust with user need. For example, at all settings, twice as much oxygen per minute
will be delivered if one breathes twenty (20) times per minute as compared with ten (10) times per minute. Please refer to the
table below as a guide.
