FUNCTION
The EVOLUTION
TM
MOTION OM-900M oxygen therapeutic device, which combines a regulator,
motion sensor, and an oxygen conserver, is designed for use as part of an ambulatory oxygen
system.
When we breathe, approximately one-third of the time is spent inhaling, and two-third exhaling. As a
result, oxygen delivered by continuous flow is wasted during exhalation. By eliminating oxygen flow
during exhalation, a two-thirds savings is possible. Additionally, the application of the EVOLUTION
TM
MOTION is based on the fact that only oxygen inhaled at the beginning of the breath actually reaches
the alveoli and is absorbed by the body. The oxygen inhaled during the remainder of the breath is
not used and is exhaled again.
However, it is the addition of the patented motion-sensing technology which makes the OM-900M a
unique therapeutic device. For those patients who have increased oxygen requirements based on
their activity level, the OM-900M stores two selectable settings; one for rest and one for activity. By
sensing the user’s activity, the device can automatically switch from a lower setting in “Rest” mode
to a higher setting in “Active” mode to meet the user’s increased oxygen needs.
For these reasons, the EVOLUTION
TM
MOTION OM-900M is designed to be an integral component
of a lightweight, long-lasting ambulatory system.
