HD
Oxylator®
HD
is a patient responsive emergency resuscitation and inhalation
management system designed for hospital and EMS personnel. It
is simple, safe and effective and delivers optimal levels of
oxygen in a resuscitation attempt and dramatically reduces complications
associated with time-cycled ventilators and bag valve mask devices.
As with other Oxylator® devices, the HD automatically maintains
adequate ventilation for each patient through a patented pressure
and flow sensing system that allows for passive exhalation.
Unique technology guides the care giver to provide proper airway
management.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies the HD in
Class II (two) under the Product Code 73 BTL. The device meets
the performance standards as set out in ASTM F920-85 and ISO
8382. The HD is a Class I (one) device as referenced in the
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
'Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency
Cardiac Care', American Heart Association (AHA). For patents,

Advantages of the Oxylator® HD:
- Reduces the risk of gastric insufflation
during mask ventilation due to its low constant flow rate
of 30 litres per minute
- Eliminates barotrauma because of a safe pressure
limit range of 15 to 30 cmH2O
- Alerts to mask or tube leaks
- Gives the care giver an indication of the
patient's lung condition and lets him/her change the ventilatory
pattern by manipulating the pressure limits
- Delivers ALL oxygen to the patient; no oxygen
is wasted to power the device as in time-cycled devices
- Frees hands to focus on mask seal to improve
airway management
- Informs the care giver of poor lung condition
- Provides manual and continuous cycling modes
- Has an inhalation mode providing 'enriched
oxygen' for the spontaneously breathing patient
- Assists the shallowly breathing patient
- Eliminates 'breath stacking' associated with
time-cycled devices
- Offers audible and visual indication of an
airway obstruction
- Assures FIO2 of 1.0 during resuscitation
- Synchronizes automatically with chest compressions
- Reduces the care giver's fatigue
- Always maintains positive airway pressure
in continuous cycling mode even at the end of the exhalation
phase (2 to 4 cmH2O PEEP)
- Includes a single use, quick change viral/bacterial
filter
- Is light weight, handy and impact resistant
- Allows for easy cleaning and assembly
- Requires minimal training
- Needs minimal maintenance due to few moving
parts
- Offers a 5 year warranty
- Represents outstanding economic value
