Technical Description

How the device functions:
The EVOLUTION includes a combination of a low-pressure regulator and an oxygen conserver. It is designed for use TM
with a cylinder as an ambulatory oxygen system and is capable of delivering a precise amount of supplemental oxygen
at theoptimal point in the breathing cycle. The EVOLUTION greatly increases the efficiency in the delivery of oxygen,
maximizingthe beneficial effects and eliminating unnecessary oxygen waste. The EVOLUTION is designed to sense the
precise moment in the patient's breathing cycle when it has to deliver the oxygen pulse. It accomplishes its intended
purpose by providing supplemental oxygen to a patient requiring nasaloxygen
therapy in a manner that yields a high level of efficiency in the consumption of the oxygen administered. The
EVOLUTION conserver's responsive and rapid oxygen delivery time increases the oxygen concentration provided to the
TM
patient, thus increasing the ability to better maintain patient saturation levels.
Principles of dosing, timing, triggering and settings:
The EVOLUTION delivers a uniform oxygen pulse which ensures that, if you breathe faster, you will still receive the same TM
amount of oxygen with each breath. The device is electrically powered using electronic and mechanical components.
A pulse dose of oxygen is triggered by sensing a pressure drop at the beginning of inhalation and is timed to deliver the
dose within the first half of the inhal ation. A setting of 1 produces the smallest dose, and a setting of 7 produces
the largest dose. The cf setting produces continuous flow of 2 liters per minute.
NOTE: The components in the medical gas path and the nasal cannula are considered applied parts.
CAUTION : Combinations with medical devices other than recommended can alter the performance of the
equipment (example: combinations with reservoir cannula, extended length tubing).
