Page 8: Introduction
INTRODUCTION PURPOSE The EVOLUTION electronic conserver is designed for use as part of a portable ambulatory oxygen system for the purpose of facilitating long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) . It provides mobile LTOT patients with an extended operating time of their mobile system . The EVOLUTION conserver includes a combination of a low-pressure regulator and an oxygen conserver and is capable of delivering a precise amount of supplemental oxygen at the optimal point in the breathing cycle . -
Page 9: Function
INTRODUCTION FUNCTION 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 application of the EVOLUTION is based on the fact that only oxygen inhaled at the beginning of the breath actually reaches the alveoli and is absorbed by the body . -

Page 16: Oxygen Cylinder Duration
OXYGEN CYLINDER DURATION Because the total delivery of oxygen via the EVOLUTION conserver is related to breathing rates, it is user adaptive in that the total oxygen delivered per minute will automatically adjust with user need, as expressed by increased or decreased breathing rates . For example, at all settings, twice as much oxygen per minute will be delivered if one breathes twenty (20) times per minute as compared with ten (10) times per minute . -
Page 17: Care And Maintenance
CARE AND MAINTENANCE The EVOLUTION conserver is designed for a long and accurate life; however, as with any electronic device, prudent care is required .
