Introduction - Drive SmartDose CTOX-MN02 Product Information And Installation Manual

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

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.
PURPOSE :
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.
FUNCTION :
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 saving is
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. This device is designed to be an integral component of a
lightweight, long-lasting supplemental ambulatory oxygen system.
USER QUALIFICATION:
Prior to beginning therapy, patients must be given instruction by qualified personnel in
how to operate this unit.
Func tions that are frequently used include:
• I talling the device by connecting to a portable oxygen cylinder post valve .
ns
• Selecting prescribed oxygen setting on the selector dial.
• Attaching standard oxygen cannula and tubing to gas port and securing cannula to user.
• Monitoring the pressure gauge for remaining oxygen in cylinder.
• Disconnecting the device from the portable oxygen cylinder .
