More Information

• How SmartDose Works:
  - Extends the use time from a supply of oxygen by only delivering oxygen during the portions of the breath that put the gas into the lungs
  - Delivers a volume of oxygen on each breath, right at the start of inhalation. It delivers the full dose (bolus) of oxygen within 2/3 of the inhale cycle
  - By doing so, it is not delivering oxygen at the end of inhalation or during exhalation, as other devices do
  - The normal volume of oxygen that SmartDose delivers is 16 ml per set, so that a setting of 2 delivers 32 ml of oxygen on each breath, in the first 2/3 of the inhale cycle
  - SmartDose monitors a patients breathing patterns and automatically turns up the oxygen volume by one setting during exertion, and if breath rate continues to rise, by another set
  - Many patients turn their settings up and down throughout the day, but this self administered approach is inconsistent and by the time most patients feel the need to turn it up, their oxygen levels have already dropped
  - SmartDose responds more quickly and consistently
  - SmartDose recognizes when exertion stops and lowers the volume back down to normal levels thus saving oxygen
  - Again, this is often an improvement over manual adjustments since patients often forget to turn the volume down after exerting. Most patients can titrated at lower base settings due to SmartDoses efficient delivery and auto-adjusting features
  - This extends the use time of your oxygen supply. SmartDose also uses a multi-valve system that has multiple delivery flow rates. The unit can deliver a volume at two flow choices
  - The unit constantly monitors the patients breath rate and determines the lowest flow option to fit the oxygen into the first 2/3 of the inhalation cycle
  - By delivering at lower flows, the unit is more comfortable, and quieter than units that deliver at higher flows all the time
