Portable liquid oxygen unit

Definition

An empty device designed as a portable, supplemental, refillable container intended as a storage for liquid oxygen (LOX) and its conversion into gaseous form for delivery of medical oxygen (O2) at various pulsed or fixed flow settings to a patient who typically has difficulty extracting O2 from the atmosphere. It typically consists of a cryogenic canister containing the LOX, a mechanism (e.g., a warming coil) where the LOX is converted into gas, a gas delivery control device (e.g., demand valve or fixed flow mechanism) that regulates the flow of O2 to the patient, a fill port and an outlet connection for connection of a nasal cannula or face mask.
