Stop wasting your oxygen! An oxygen conserver can greatly extend the duration of your portable oxygen cylinder. When used in conjunction with a portable oxygen system such as our E-Ox, an oxygen conserver can provide the same level of oxygen saturation while using much less oxygen than a traditional system. This means your cylinders last much longer and you have to refill them much less often.
It is clinically proven that the first part of your inhalation is the most effective in getting oxygen to your lungs. In fact, the air you breathe during the last part of your inhalation never even reaches your lungs! So why should your oxygen keep flowing if it's never going to get into your lungs?
The REACT uses differences in pressures to sense when you are about to inhale, and then provides a measured bolus (burst) of oxygen that goes deep into the lungs. This provides far more efficient delivery of oxygen to the lungs than a conventional continuous-flow system. The REACT does not deliver oxygen during the latter part of inhalation, nor during exhalation -- times when the oxygen would simply be wasted. (Ordinary continuous-flow systems waste oxygen during both of these stages of the breathing cycle.)
This results in far more efficient oxygen delivery, which means you use less oxygen to get the same saturation and allows you to carry smaller tanks that last longer. The REACT conserving device uses the latest advances in inhalation/exhalation detection technology to ensure oxygen is delivered precisely and effectively. Advanced circuitry helps to reduce power consumption and increase battery life. Weight is also minimized, which reduce the overall weight of the oxygen system.
How much oxygen will you save? The table below illustrates the estimated duration of your portable oxygen cylinder when using the REACT conserver versus a standard continuous flow system. Calculations are based on a 6:1 savings ratio which can be expected when set to 2 lpm and breathing at a relatively rapid rate of 18-20 breaths per minute. Breathing more slowly or setting the REACT to a lower flow rate will usually result in even greater oxygen savings.
