Oxymizer Nasal Pendant
Air Liquide Reference Number: 230S
About the Product
High-Efficiency Oxygen Conservation for Greater Independence
The Oxymizer® Nasal Pendant is a specialized reservoir cannula designed to increase the efficiency of your Oxygen therapy. By utilizing an integrated oxygen reservoir, the pendant stores oxygen during exhalation and delivers a concentrated "bolus" at the start of each breath.
This design allows patients to achieve the same therapeutic Oxygen saturation (SpO2) at significantly lower flow rates compared to standard cannulas. For patients using portable Oxygen cylinders, the Oxymizer® effectively triples the duration of your Oxygen supply, offering you more time away from home and greater freedom to move.
Key Features & Benefits
- Advanced Oxygen Conservation: The reservoir technology captures oxygen that would otherwise be wasted during exhalation, allowing you to turn down your flow rate without compromising your blood Oxygen levels.
- Extends Cylinder Life: By improving efficiency, the Oxymizer® helps your Oxygen cylinders last 2 to 3 times longer, reducing the frequency of refills.
- Pendant Design: Unlike the bulky "moustache" reservoir styles, the pendant design is lightweight, unobtrusive, and rests comfortably on the chest.
- Increased Comfort: Because you can use lower flow settings, patients often report less nasal dryness and irritation associated with high-flow oxygen delivery.
- Proven Clinical Reliability: A trusted solution for long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) patients who require higher concentrations of Oxygen.
Who is the Oxymizer® for?
The Oxymizer® is ideal for patients who:
- Are prescribed high-flow Oxygen requirements.
- Use portable Oxygen cylinders and wish to increase their time outdoors.
- Are looking to reduce the cost and inconvenience of frequent Oxygen cylinder exchanges.
- Require higher FiO2 (Fraction of Inspired Oxygen) delivery.
Important Technical Considerations
- Flow Rates: The Oxymizer® Pendant is highly efficient for flow rates up to 5 to 12 LPM (check with your clinician for your specific prescribed setting).
- Prescription: This is a clinical device. Please ensure that any changes to your prescribed flow rate are discussed with your respiratory physician.
- The Oxymizer Nasal Pendant cannot be used with OCD technology or humidifiers.
- Please upload an image of the prescription provided by your doctor as it's mandatory to buy this product.
Air Liquide Healthcare Tip:
When switching to an Oxymizer® from a standard cannula, your prescribed Oxygen flow rate may need to be adjusted. Always consult your healthcare professional to determine the correct flow settings for your specific device. They can help you perform an oximetry test to ensure your Oxygen levels remain optimal at the new, more efficient flow rate.
