Oxygen Conserving Device Settings

Conservers use a 3 1 to 6 1 ratio with the 3 1 ratio providing the largest amount of oxygen and 6 1 providing the smallest amount of oxygen.
Oxygen conserving device settings. A conserving device is an entirely different kind of device that delivers a pulse of oxygen as the patient inhales on demand. The first is the conserving ratio of the conserver that is used. It provides more liter flow equivalencies continuous flow. It causes the oxygen to be delivered only when you take a breath.
A regulator simply regulates the free flow from an oxygen cylinder. Our devices monitor the patient s breathing patterns and adjusts the oxygen dose depending on the patient s needs. To prevent injury from cylinders tipping over do not use cannula tubing lengths over 7 feet with small compressed oxygen cylinders. When attached to an oxygen cylinder the bonsai regulator allows individuals to adjust the amount of oxygen output they receive.
A round up of some ocd offerings currently on the market. The oxygen conserving device ocd is the device on your small compressed gas tank that makes the oxygen supply last longer. An oxygen conserving device ocd controls the flow of oxygen from the oxygen source to the patient. The oxymizer pendant is capable of reducing oxygen costs by 75 on a continuous flow machine and is our simplest conserving device operating without batteries or controls.
Not all ocds deliver the same amount of oxygen as a continuous flow would so it is important that your oxygen saturation be tested at rest and with. Oxygen conserving device turn your cylinder to the closed position and rotate the flow rate selector to the off position. The ocd releases oxygen only when the patient inhales thus dramatically increasing the amount of time a patient can use the. The bonsai velocity pneumatic oxygen conserver by drive medical formerly manufactured by chad therapeutics is a compact lightweight oxygen conserving device for individuals who require oxygen therapy.
This oxygen saver also has the capability of increasing your lpm up to 2 whole settings. The amount of oxygen output and actual amount a patient receives on the various pulse settings depends on several factors.
