INFO
"The bottom line is that the majority of GA pilots who fly normally-aspirated piston airplanes do so without any supplemental oxygen whatsoever. When they fly at altitudes above 5,000 to 10,000 feet (depending on the individual), they do so with some significant degree of hypoxic impairment. They can't think or see as clearly or make decisions as well as they should, and they get tired more quickly than they should. On those occasions where weather and/or terrain force them up above 12,500 feet, they also may be violating the FARs ... but frankly that's not my concern because I'm a doc, not a cop." - Dr. Brent Blue (read the whole article)
The E-Ox Model 425 Personal Emergency 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. This convenient 425-liter system provides a 3.5 hour supply of oxygen when breathing oxygen continuously at the rate of 2.0 liters per minute, 14 hours if you use the optional Oxymizer conserving cannula, and as much as 21 hours if used in conjunction with the REACT oxygen conserver. 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.
Your E-Ox Model 425 system includes:
- a 425-liter (D) oxygen cylinder
- shutoff valve
- gauge
- adjustable regulator
- mask and tubing

OTHER INFO and FEEDBACK
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 (more on this below).
- 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 Learjet 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. Our exclusive click-style adjustable regulator allows you to quickly and precisely set the flow rate you desire.

E-Ox is available in your choice of capacities. The smaller sizes will fit easily into your briefcase or flight bag. (425, 640, 680 liter cylinders not shown)
|

Built-in gauge shows how much oxygen remains. Regulator provides an adjustable flow rate up to 4.0 liters-per-minute. The E-Ox regulator assembly fits all cylinder sizes interchangeably, so you can mix and match freely.

Standard CGA-540 fill valve lets you refill your E-Ox virtually anywhere compressed gas is sold.

Which E-Ox System is right for you?
Choose the cylinder size that best fits your application
Most customers 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 cylinder, regardless of the size, it's your best bet to get the largest cylinder that will fit your 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.
Note that our adjustable 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.
Choose the system that best fits your need
- E-Ox Basic System - Our most basic 1-place package to get your E-Ox cylinder ready for use. Includes adjustable regulator, oxygen mask and tubing.
- E-Ox Oxymizer System - The same as the Standard System with an Oxymizer conserving cannula in addition to the standard mask. The Oxymizer can make your cylinders last 3-4 times longer, which easily pays for it self after just one refill! This is our most popular configuration.
- E-Ox 2-Place System - Contains everything you need for use by two persons simultaneously (adjustable regulator, oxygen mask, 2 Oxymizer conserving cannulas, "Y" adapter with tubing).
Want it pre-filled with Oxygen?
You may order your E-Ox system shipped either pre-filled or empty. Pre-filled systems may not be shipped by air due to federal hazardous materials regulations. Filled cylinders will be sent via US Postal Service. Customers located outside the continental U.S. must order their cylinders empty so they can be air-shipped. Order your system pre-filled by selecting E-Ox Pre-fill on the "RELATED ITEMS" tab above.
