INTRODUCTION

The SAROS Oxygen System, Model 4000 with autoSAT
extract oxygen from the atmosphere, concentrate it to greater than 90% and flow it through the oxygen outlet port. The device will operate in
Continuous flow or Pulse flow modes. In Continuous Flow Mode the oxygen is provided at a constant flow rate of 1, 2, or 3 LPM. In Pulse
flow Mode, oxygen is supplied in a bolus at the beginning of each inspiration, providing a selectable range setting of flow between 16 ml and
96 ml, in increments of 16 ml.
SAROS is BTP (Body, Temperature, and Pressure) compensated. It delivers oxygen by accounting for difference between ambient conditions
and those found in the patient's lungs (37°C).
SAROS operates from external AC power, 24VDC or from a rechargeable Battery. The system includes a "Smart Battery" charger that
recharges the Battery whenever the SAROS is connected to external power. The system monitors and controls both the power source and the
Battery Charger.
SAROS has a recommended five minute warm up/stabilization period.
INTENDED USE
The CAIRE SAROS oxygen system is intended for the administration of supplemental oxygen. The device is not intended for life support nor
