Oxygen Enrichment Unit

Implementing Organization

Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute (CMERI)

Project Overview

The device may be used in Homes or Hospital type facilities for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), chronic hypoxemia and pulmonary edema. It may be used as an adjunct treatment for severe sleep apnea (in conjunction with a continuous positive airway pressure unit).

Benefits

Low Flow:
Flow Rate: 0.5-5 LPM
, Oxygen purity: 90 - 96%
. Medium Flow:
Flow Rate: 5-10 LPM
, Oxygen purity: 70 - 90%
, High Flow:
Flow Rate: 10-30 LPM
, Oxygen purity: 30 - 70%
. With an optional plug-in module, the same unit can work in high altitudes as well (up to 14000 ft). However, the maximum flow will be reduced to 10 LPM and more than 90% oxygen enrichment will be available until 1.5 LPM.
