SmartDose Liquid Oxygen Portable Delivery Modes
The SmartDose Liquid Oxygen Portable has two modes:
SmartDose and Continuous Flow.
To receive the benefits of SmartDose technology, set your SmartDose
Liquid Oxygen Portable to SmartDose mode. Continuous Flow mode
is offered as a backup option in case your batteries run out of power.
Continuous Flow mode provides a steady flow of oxygen until you
c
an replace the batteries; it does not offer the benefits of SmartDose
technology. Also, be aware that your oxygen supply will be depleted
rapidly when set to operate in Continuous Flow mode.
With the Portable in SmartDose mode, SmartDose technology detects
changes in your breath rate and automatically adjusts the oxygen dose
using a unique valving system. In this way, the SmartDose Liquid Oxygen
Porta
ble automatically adapts the oxygen flow to meet your needs as your
activity level goes up and down throughout the day. After you have set
the flow rate to your prescribed dose, there is no need to manually change
the oxygen flow rate during the day— SmartDose technology does it for
you.
Sm
artDose Technology helps you in two ways:
When you are active, a higher oxygen dose helps reduce feelings of
breath
lessness and stay active. When you are at rest and your
breathing rate slows down, SmartDose technology adjusts the oxygen
dose to the lower level that meets your needs. Keeping the oxygen
flow rate as low as possible helps to extend oxygen duration, minimize
nasal dryness and provide quieter therapy.
C
hecking the Level of Liquid Oxygen
The SmartDose Liquid Oxygen Portable comes provided with a gage to
determine the amount of oxygen contained. Follow these steps for
using the contents gage.
1. Remove Portable from bag or any other container you might
be using. Slide the button on the gage strap into the slot on
the Portable handle. Lift the Portable from the top D-ring
