Step 1 - Choose Total Number of Users

When we introduced our original E-Ox Portable Oxygen Systems in 2001, we anticipated they would be popular in the general aviation community, and we were right!  Our Individual Flow E-Ox portable oxygen system for the private pilot provides a high-quality oxygen system for up to four people at a much lower price than our competitors charge for similar aircraft oxygen systems.  Thanks to the combination of high quality and economical pricing, we're constantly receiving requests from pilots for an individually-regulated portable aircraft oxygen system supporting up to 4 places, with all the desirable features of our original E-Ox, as well as our customary low price.

 

Aeromedix is now happy to introduce our E-Ox Individual-Flow Control Portable Oxygen System. This system is designed by emergency room physician and pilot, Dr. Brent Blue for use by up to 4 people. It features all medical grade components and offers a great solution for pilots who want to have oxygen available for themselves and their passengers while flying. Whether it's climbing to avoid nasty weather or a mountain range, sharpening up before shooting a night approach, or just cruising at high altitudes to take advantage of favorable winds, you and your passengers will be happy that you brought along your E-Ox Individually-Regulated Portable Oxygen system to use in your plane.

Each E-Ox Individual Flow Portable Aviation Oxygen System features:

  • Aluminum oxygen cylinder with Sherwood valve and contents gauge and rubber gauge protector

  • Chrome-plated brass CPC quick-connect fittings for each place

  • Acrylic Flow meters for each place for precise individual flow adjustment

  • Oxymizer Conserving Cannulas to greatly extend cylinder duration

  • Standard oxygen mask (for altitudes above 18,000 feet, per FAA Regulations)

  • Safety channel kink-proof tubing, with clamps for secure connections

  • Flow Setting and Duration Information Card

  • Compliance with all FAA requirements for portable oxygen delivery systems

 

Pilots who still love our original E-Ox Portable Oxygen Systems need not fear!  We still offer this entire line of economical emergency oxygen systems, plus components and accessories, all at the same low prices that have made Aeromedix the leader in the aviation oxygen field.

 

Step 2 - Choose the Right Cylinder

Most pilots and aircraft owners find the smaller systems are more convenient to carry. However, since most oxygen providers and FBOs will charge you the same amount to fill your oxygen cylinder, regardless of the size, it's your best bet to get the largest cylinder that will fit flying application. The extra cost of the larger cylinder will easily pay for itself by allowing you to save time and money by going longer between fills. Also, take into consideration the number of people using the system and your average flight time per trip. To compare all our oxygen cylinder sizes, dimensions, durations and pricing click here.

Note that our regulator assembly will fit all E-Ox cylinder sizes, so you can "mix and match" the cylinders. This feature allows you to keep a spare cylinder handy so when one runs out, you just unscrew the regulator and attach it to the spare cylinder and you've got a full cylinder of oxygen ready for use.

All our oxygen cylinders are aluminum with a standard CGA-540 fill valve and contents gauge. (height and weight includes regulator)

General E-OX System Information

The E-Ox Portable Oxygen System is a unique product designed to provide a convenient way to carry lifesaving supplemental oxygen with you when you're on the move. We offer a range of sizes to fit every need - from a compact, lightweight system that slips easily into your flight bag or briefcase, to a cylinder large enough to provide enough oxygen for you and your passengers for several trips. E-Ox is a flexible system and can be used with a standard oxygen mask or cannula, or in conjunction with a conserving device to extend cylinder duration. The optional Oxymizer conserving cannula offers up to 4:1 savings! Of course, no oxygen system is complete without a pulse oximeter to monitor your oxygen saturation to ensure you are getting the oxygen you need.

In the cockpit -- Use E-Ox as a source of supplemental oxygen when you need to climb above 12,500 feet to avoid high terrain or weather, or when you need to "sharpen up" at night before shooting an approach. Also perfect for emergencies such as smoke in the cockpit, loss of pressurization or ditching, where this system can provide the precious minutes you need to remain conscious while you make your way to safety. Since the Lear jet crash that killed golfer Payne Stewart, many executives who travel on corporate aircraft have been carrying these units in their briefcases. (Please note that passengers may not carry filled oxygen cylinders on board a commercial flight unless it is furnished by the airline.)

In the mountains -- Supplemental oxygen is the best remedy for fatigue any time you are exerting yourself at altitude: skiing, climbing, hiking, etc. A personal oxygen system like E-Ox makes it easy to have supplemental oxygen with you anywhere and anytime. If you find yourself short of breath or suffer symptoms of altitude sickness (as almost everyone who lives near sea level does from time to time when at higher elevations), having your own personal supply of oxygen can eliminate this concern. 

In an emergency -- Supplemental oxygen can also be invaluable for dealing with a wide range of exigencies: smoke or fire, auto or boat accident, first-aid crisis, etc.

E-Ox is manufactured exclusively for Aeromedix from medical-grade components. This system has been designed to be lighter and more compact -- and substantially less costly -- than anything previously available.
