5.4. SMART SUPERVISION
Many patients use their oxygen therapy equipment less time than
prescribed by their doctors. OXYMO allows to control the patient
compliance.
Working as Oxygen Conserver or as Respiratory Monitor (See Chapter
6.8), OXYMO stores the respiratory rate, the hours of daily use and the
events* for about 1 year. This allows to check therapeutic compliance.
Moreover, on the last day of use each patient's breath is recorded. It
allows, for example, to compare the respiratory pattern of the patient during
wakefulness or sleep, and test the effectiveness of the Smart Flow and
Assist
systems. If the memory capacity is exceeded without downloading
data or erasing the memory, the new data replace the old ones
By the OXYMO-SW
software, is possible to configure the device
parameters, delete the memory, download data and perform a graphical
and statistical analysis thereof (USB port).
* We call events to the alarms of disconnection/apnea and low O
2
pressure
and to the changes in configuration parameters.
5.5. OTHER FEATURES
1. Respiratory rate of the patient and trigger signal visible on
screen.
Each time a bolus is triggered, its signal is displayed. OXYMO
calculates and displays on screen the respiratory rate based on
these shots. Both data allows an observer to check if the device
responds appropriately to the inspirations of the patient,
implementing corrective measures if not.
2. Visible and audible alarms for disconnection/apnea, low
battery and low O
2
pressure.
3. Programmable from the keyboard of the device or from the
computer.
4. Keyboard lock.
