Intended Use
The Precision Medical Inc. Air and oxygen blender is designed to dispense a continuous and precise blend of Medical Air and Oxygen via outlet ports to infant, pediatric, and adult patients. The exact FIO2 blend of gases corresponds to the dialed in Fractional Concentration of Oxygen (FiO2) setting indicated by the control face.
Device Story
Precision Medical Blender is a gas mixing device for hospital use by qualified personnel under physician direction. It receives pressurized medical air and oxygen (30-75 psi) as inputs; internal mechanism blends gases to a precise FiO2 (21-100%) based on user-dialed control face settings. Output is a continuous flow of blended gas delivered via outlet ports to patients. Available in high-flow (up to 120 lpm) and low-flow (up to 30 lpm) models. Includes an integrated alarm system that triggers at 80 dB if inlet gas pressure differential exceeds 6 psi. Device assists clinicians in providing controlled oxygen therapy; benefits include precise titration of oxygen concentration for respiratory support.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing evaluated mechanical and climatic device performance, including flow accuracy, pressure drop, and alarm functionality. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Mechanical gas blender; pneumatic operation. Two models: PM 5200 (high flow) and PM 5300 (low flow). Oxygen range 21-100%; accuracy ±3% of full scale. Inlet pressure 30-75 psi; requires air/O2 pressure within 10 psi. Integrated pressure differential alarm (80 dB at 1 foot). Dimensions: 3.5" x 2.25" x 5.25". Weight: 2.25 lbs. Operating temperature 59°F to 104°F. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for delivery of blended air and oxygen in hospital settings to infant, pediatric, and adult patients. Oxygen concentrations adjustable from 21% to 100%. Not intended as a life-supporting device.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A breathing gas mixer is a device intended for use in conjunction with a respiratory support apparatus to control the mixing of gases that are to be breathed by a patient.
