1. INTENDED USE
OXYMO is a portable electronic demand oxygen delivery device. These
devices are also called oxygen conservers or savers. It provides a small
amount of oxygen (bolus) when the patient begins the inspiration, with
physiological effect similar to a continuous flow (equivalent flow).
Its main use is to extend the life of portable oxygen cylinders at high
pressure, and thus increasing patient autonomy. It can be connected to any
bottle of high pressure oxygen, to any liquid oxygen (LOX) or to a pipe of low
pressure oxygen. There are accessories for all standard types of regulators
and valves for oxygen channelling. It does not need humidifier. The savings
of oxygen and the humidification accessories allow for a quick return on
investments.
OXYMO has many features that improve its effectiveness over other
economizers. One is that it allows monitoring the patient compliance.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Common cases in oxygen therapies.
