Oxygen Blenders
Oxygen Blenders are precision medical devices used to accurately mix pressurized Oxygen and Medical Air into a therapeutic gas mixture. They provide a precise and consistent concentration of oxygen FiO2 over a wide range of flow rates. Essential in critical care, these blenders ensure patients receive the exact prescribed oxygen concentration, vital for respiratory treatment in NICUs, ICUs, and other critical settings.
-
Low-Flow Oxygen Blenders:
-
Flow Rate: Typically range from 0 to 30 Liters Per Minute (LPM).
-
Application: Primarily used in sensitive settings like the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) for use with infant resuscitators, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and ventilators where highly accurate, low-volume gas delivery is essential.
-
-
High-Flow Oxygen Blenders:
-
Flow Rate: Typically range from 2 to 120 Liters Per Minute (LPM).
-
Application: Used for high-demand respiratory therapies in the Adult ICU, Emergency Room (ER), and Operating Room (OR). They are vital for supplying gas to adult ventilators and high-flow nasal cannula therapy (HFNC) to manage acute respiratory failure.
-
Both types provide the same FiO2 range (21% to 100%) but are engineered to maintain that accuracy across drastically different flow demands.
