  • Page 6: Indications For Use

    A physician has prescribed a specific oxygen flow setting to meet an individual’s needs. Oxygen flow should be adjusted only under the direction of a physician. The SAROS uses a vacuum pressure adsorbent process to separate oxygen from the air and deliver oxygen rich gas to a patient through a nasal cannula.
