Func
The Bonsai pneumatic oxygen conserver includes a combination of a low-pressure regulator and an oxygen conserver. It
is designed for use with a cylinder as an ambulatory oxygen system and is capable of delivering a specific amount of
supplemental oxygen at the optimal point in the breathing cycle. The Bonsai increases the efficiency in the delivery of
oxygen, maximizing the beneficial effects and eliminating unnecessary oxygen waste.
When we breathe, approximately one-third of the time is spent inhaling and two-thirds exhaling. As a result, oxygen
delivered by continuous flow is wasted during exhalation. By eliminating oxygen flow during exhalation, a two-thirds saving
is possible. Additionally, the oxygen available during the very first part of inhalation contributes most to meeting oxygen
needs. The Bonsai conserver takes advantage of these facts to provide maximum efficiency in the delivery of oxygen. This
device is designed to be an integral component of a lightweight, long-lasting supplemental ambulatory oxygen system.
CAUTION : Oxygen supplied by this equipment is supplemental only and is not intended for life support applications.
The Bonsai should not be used to supply anything other than medical oxygen.
