5.1. SMART FLOW
In any O

economizer using a pressure bottle, but not in all concentrators
using demand flow oxygen release, the oxygen volume of each pulse
(bolus) is maintained by increasing the breathing rate. Therefore, the
volume/minute of oxygen also increases. Nevertheless, some patients
require more oxygen for their physical efforts. Increased respiratory rate
has an excellent correlation with physical efforts. The innovative Smart
Flow system (patent pending) increases the bolus based on the respiratory
rate. This requires configuring two parameters: the breathing rate of the
patient at rest (baseline frequency) and the percentage of increase in the
equivalent flow desired.
Example: We schedule Smart Flow with a baseline frequency of 20 BPM
and a 5% of increase of the equivalent flow. If the patient's respiratory rate
rises from 20 to 30 BPM, the system will increase the equivalent flow by
50% (5% per 1 BPM above 20). If the flow of oxygen prescribed for the
patient was 2 L/min Equiv., and rising from 20 to 30 BPM, OXYMO would
provide a bolus corresponding to 3 L/min Equiv.
I NOTE .
The maximum equivalent flow is 7.5 L/min.
