ConceptThe concept of our system is based on a persons breathing cycle, only 1/3rd of which is spent inhaling, the remaining 2/3rds being spent exhaling or pausing between breaths.
The system operates by detecting the negative pressure in the upper respiratory tract created as a person inhales. This negative pressure is immediately detected and a precisely measured 'dose' of oxygen is delivered at the leading edge of inhalation.
Because the 'dose' of oxygen is only delivered during inhalation, approximately 70% less oxygen is required to achieve the same benefits when compared to conventional 'constant flow' systems.
The reliability and safety of the system has been proven
effective in clinical testing as well as through independent
tests performed by physicians and respiratory therapists.
The majority of users find this method of oxygen delivery more comfortable and practical than ‘continuous flow’. The short ‘burst’ of oxygen delivered during inhalation is almost undetectable.
