Comparison to Predicate Medical Device The BMOS (K071581) is the predicate medical device to which DMOS (K130068) is compared. Indications for Use for BMOS is that the BMOS is intended to be used by emergency response personnel in military and commercial fields to provide an emergency source of supplemental oxygen for a patient while being transported from a crisis situation to a health care facility. The BMOS is not intended to be a life sustaining or life-supporting device. - Both the submission device and predicate device convert liquid oxygen to gaseous . oxygen - Both devices can be used in military and commercial applications . - Both devices supply supplemental oxygen to a patient . - Both flow at one-half (0.5) to fifteen (15) liters per minute (LPM) and fifty (50) . pounds per square inch gauge (psig) - The only difference between the two devices is that DMOS is capable of . supplying oxygen to rescue personnel in situations where they themselves need additional oxygen when they are in high altitude, mountainous region BMOS & DMOS are both portable. Personnel can move a BMOS device by picking up the unit by the handle on the front face and walking with it while personnel can move a DMOS device by in the same manner. Both the BMOS and DMOS devices are similar in that they include a thermally insulated container. Both containers are designed built, and tested per 49 CFR §178.57, Specification 4L welded insulated cylinders, and are housed in aluminum sheet metal enclosures that contain heat exchangers that convert the liquid oxygen to gaseous oxygen. Both devices have ports that can be connected to tubing intended for connection to an oxygen mask or other similar medical device to ultimately supplement gases to be inhaled by a patient. Both devices can be monitored for pressure and liquid oxygen quantity. The differences in the BMOS and DMOS are in the container size and LOX capacity. The BMOS container is a cylinder that is approximately 13.1 inches long and 5.0 inches in diameter with a LOX capacity of 2 liters while the DMOS container is a cylinder that is approximately 12.3 inches long and 4.4 inches in diameter with a LOX capacity of 1.4 liters. The DMOS has an additional parachute port, which the BMOS does not have, that allows the military rescue personnel to plug in his/her parachutist mask for additional oxygen when they are in high altitude, mountainous region.
