USER QUALIFICATION:
Prior to beginning therapy, patients must be given instruction by qualified personnel in
how to operate this unit.
When we breathe, approximately one-third of the time is spent inhaling and
two-thirds exhaling. As a result, oxygen delivered by continuous flow is wasted during
exhalation. By eliminating oxygen flow during exhalation, a two-thirds savingis
possible. Additionally, the oxygen available during the very first part of inhalation
contributes most to meeting oxygen needs. The CTOX-MN02 electronic oxygen
conserver takes advantage of these facts to provide maximum efficiency in the
delivery of oxygen. Thisdevice is designed to be an integral component of a
lightweight, long-lasting supplemental ambulatory oxygen system.
This manual provides information necessary to operate the CTOX-MN02 electronic oxygen conserver
.This conserver
can be used with CGA 870 post-valve cylinder [see Fig. A] at home or away from home to
provide your specific
oxygen requirements. It requires two (2) 1.5 volt "AA" alkaline batteries for operation.

The SmartDose CTOX-MN02 electronic oxygen conserver includes a combination of a low-pressure regulator and an oxygen
conserver. It is designed for use with a cylinder as an ambulatory oxygen system and is capable of delivering a specific
amount of supplemental oxygen at the optimal point in the breathing cycle. The SmartDose increases the efficiency in the
delivery of oxygen, maximizing the beneficial effects and eliminating unnecessary oxygen waste.
