DIRECTIONS
Your doctor or healthcare professional has prescribed
the OXYMIZER oxygen-conserving device for you. Used
properly, this device will provide you with the oxygen you
need, as well as these added benefits:
It will take a lower flow rate to get the same
amount of oxygen into your body, which can be as
much as 75% less (depending on the flow rate)
than a standard nasal cannula.
If you use a portable oxygen system, it will last
longer and allow you to be away from your main
oxygen source for a longer period of time; or, you
may be able to use a smaller, lighter weight portable
system.

carefully concerning:
How often and how long you receive oxygen from the
system.
The flow rate to use.
(Note: The flow rate indicated for use with the
OXYMIZER device may be 1/4 - 1/2 of the amount
prescribed with a non-oxygen-conserving cannula.)
When to replace your OXYMIZER device.
HOW TO WEAR THE OXYMIZER DEVICE
Slide the loop adjustment collar (bola) down to
enlarge the size of the loop.
1.
With the back of the face-
piece toward you, pick up the
OXYMIZER with one of the
small flexible plastic tubes in
each hand, as if putting on a
pair of eyeglasses.
2.
Place the flexible plastic tubing over your ears
(as shown in diagram below) and under your
chin or pass the tubing over your ears and
around the back of your head. Do not allow
the tubing to go completely around your Neck.
This may create a choking hazard.
3.
The facepiece should rest
on your upper lip under
your nose with the oxygen-
delivering prongs extending
well into and pointing towards
the back of your nose.
4.
Slide the bola up toward
your chin so that the cannula
fits snugly and comfortably
against your face.
5.
Connect the female
connector to your oxygen
source.
6.
Turn on the oxygen and set the flow rate
as prescribed by your doctor or healthcare
professional. (Note: The flow rate prescribed for
use with this device may be 1/4 - 1/2 of the amount
prescribed with a non-oxygen-conserving cannula.)
