The Hi-Ox® High FiO2 Mask is intended to deliver high inspired oxygen concentrations to patients who require elevated inspired oxygen.
Device Story
Hi-Ox® is an oxygen mask system designed to deliver high FiO2 at moderate flow rates (8-10 lpm). The device consists of a central manifold, patient mask, oxygen tubing, and a reservoir bag. It utilizes a triple-valve system: an inhalation valve for oxygen delivery, an exhalation valve for expired gas removal, and a sequential dilution valve that acts as an anti-asphyxiation mechanism if patient minute ventilation exceeds supply flow. The mask features a soft, conformable material, dual straps, and a nose bridge seal to minimize leakage and deadspace. It is used in clinical settings to provide oxygen therapy. By eliminating traditional mask ventilation holes and improving facial seal, the device maintains high oxygen concentrations. Healthcare providers monitor oxygen delivery via a sampling port. The low-resistance valves (typically ~1.07 cmH2O at 60 lpm) minimize work of breathing for the patient.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated using a SensorMedics 229 metabolic measurement system to confirm FiO2 values >80-90%. Valve flow resistance tested at 60 lpm (typical pressure drop ~1.07 cmH2O). Testing confirmed performance stability after exposure to extreme storage temperatures per ASTM F920 protocols.
Technological Characteristics
Oxygen mask with triple-valve manifold (inhalation, exhalation, sequential dilution). Materials: soft conformable mask material, foam nose bridge, metal strip. Flow resistance <1.5 cmH2O at 60 lpm. ASTM F920 compliant. Mechanical operation; no electronic or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring elevated inspired oxygen concentrations.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A nonrebreathing valve is a one-way valve that directs breathing gas flow to the patient and vents exhaled gases into the atmosphere.

### Common Name:
High FiO2 Mask
### Intended Use:
The Hi-Ox® High FiO2 Mask is intended to deliver high inspired oxygen concentrations to patients who require elevated inspired oxygen.
## Description of the Device:
The Hi-Ox® is an oxygen mask to enable patients to inhale high concentrations of oxygen at moderate flow rates of 8 -10 lpm. It is a simple device consisting of a central manifold section where the patient mask, oxygen tubing and an oxygen reservoir bag attach. The triple valving in the manifold directs the oxygen to the patient and acts as an anti-asphyxiation valve removing the need for ventilation holes in the mask itself, thus allowing for delivery of high FiO2's.
Oxygen from the supply is either delivered to the patient via a one-way valve (inhalation valve) or stored temporarily in the oxygen reservoir bag. During exhalation, expired gas is directed to the atmosphere via another one-way valve (exhalation valve). In the event the patient's minute ventilation exceeds the oxygen supply flow rate, a third sequential dilution valve allows ambient air to get drawn into the inspired limb of the manifold eliminating the potential for asphyxiation.
The inhalation and exhalation one way valves are designed to have very low flow resistance (less than 1.5 cmH,O, typically ~ 1.07 cmH,O at flow rates of 60 lpm) to minimize the work of breathing. The sequential dilution

valve's resistance is specified to be less than 3 cmH2O/I/sec. The oxygen mask is made of a soft material for conformance to the patient's facial contours. Positioning of the manifold connection on the mask minimizes the effective deadspace.
Clinical and Non-Clinical Tests of Equivalency:
Most oxygen masks dilute the inspired oxygen because of two reasons. One is the presence of two entrainment ports on the mask that patients exhaled through, and the other is gas leaking due to poor fit of the mask to the face.
On inspiration, these entrainment ports provided a large source of dilution. particularly when the flow path between the inspired reservoir and the mask is of higher resistance than the holes. The Hi-Ox® mask has no holes in the mask, thereby eliminating this major source of oxygen dilution.
The Hi-Ox® mask has dual straps (one above and one below the ear) to achieve better sealing between the mask and the face. Additionally, the lower durometer mask material allows the mask to conform better to the face. The use of foam on the inside of the nose bridge portion of the mask and a metal strip further improve the seal across the bridge.
By positioning a sampling port (probe) through a hole on the side of the mask and directly in front of a user's nose, the oxygen concentration of the inhaled gas can be monitored. In experiments conducted using a SensorMedics 229 metabolic measurement system, we observed FiO2 values in excess of 90% and over 80% at all times. These tests are reported in Appendix 7a.
Flow resistance of all the one-way valves employed have been found to be well below the design target of 1.5 cmH,O at flows of 60 lpm, i.e. 0.025 cmHJO per lpm. Typical pressure drops are in the range of 1.07 cmHJ,O at 60 lpm. Subjective testing also confirm little or no effort required for breathing through the Hi-Ox® oxygen mask assembly.
The valve flow resistance performance after exposure to extreme storage temperatures has been found to be unchanged from room temperature. This validation was completed with the help of a nationally recognized test laboratory (NRTL) and following the established ASTM F920 test protocols.
