Many folks who love the OxyArm designed by Walt Atkinson and Rob Apens want
oxygen conservation as well.  Now Aeromedix has done just that by combining the
“pendant” Oximiser with the OxyArm.  The Oximiser pendant is a hockey puck shaped
plastic container which has a collapsible plastic bag.  This is normally connected to a
routine nasal cannula.  At Aeromedix, we combined the OxyArm with an Oximiser
pendant by cutting the pendant’s built in cannula and replacing with the OxyArm.
Testing shows effective oxygen savings in the 50% range.  (The device works by
storing the oxygen being delivered during the exhalation and pause portions of the
respiratory cycle and delivering the stored oxygen during the vacuum created during
inhalation.  Thus, flow rates can reduced by about one half.  We recommend an pulse
oximeter to check oxygen saturation with all oxygen use.)

 Oximiser pendants can be purchased separately if you already have an OxyArm for
$26.95.  With the OxyArm as a combo, it is $125.95.
