INTRODUCTION

The BONSAI VELOCITY pneumatic oxygen conserver includes a combination of a low-
®
pressure regulator and an oxygen conserver� It is designed for use with a cylinder as an
ambulatory oxygen system and is capable of delivering a precise amount of supplemental
oxygen at the optimal point in the breathing cycle� The BONSAI VELOCITY conserver
®
greatly increases the efficiency in the delivery of oxygen, maximizing the beneficial effects
and eliminating unnecessary oxygen waste�
When we breathe, approximately one-third of the time is spent inhaling and two-thirds
exhaling� As a result, oxygen delivered by continuous flow is wasted during exhalation�
By eliminating oxygen flow during exhalation, a two-thirds savings is possible�
Additionally, the oxygen available during the very first part of inhalation contributes most
to meeting oxygen needs� The BONSAI VELOCITY conserver takes advantage of these
®
facts to provide maximum efficiency in the delivery of oxygen� This device is designed to
be an integral component of a lightweight, long-lasting ambulatory oxygen system�
