- Page 1 SMART OXYGEN CAGE J1509 USER MANUAL Oxygen Therapy — An important modality for critically ill patients.
- Page 2 SMART OXYGEN OVERVIEW The Smart Oxygen unit is designed for the short-term administration of oxygen to patients in respiratory distress, pre and post anesthesia and may also be used for nebulization. The Smart Oxygen system is comprised of the following components required for both oxygen therapy and nebulization.

Page 3: Quick Start
QUICK START To provide emergency oxygen therapy to a patient in respiratory distress: Refer to Figure 1 on Page 2 The Smart Oxygen unit has two ports that may be used as inlet and outlet. Keep both ports uncapped and attach the double male connector to one of the ports. - Page 4 Supplementary oxygen should be provided immediately to patients with dyspnea or cyanosis. Improved blood oxygenation of the patient may also be achieved when using the unit pre and post anesthesia. The oxygen percentage within the Smart oxygen unit is determined by the extent of filling it with air and oxygen via the Venturi. Patients in respiratory crisis should be given a high percentage of oxygen initially and then the concentration gradually reduced to the lowest level at which the patient can breathe comfortably.
- Page 5 Select which Venturi meets the needs of your patient. Connect this Venturi to the other end of the small tubing and attach it to the uncapped Smart Oxygen inlet port via the double male connector B. Make your calculations based off the reference tables. See example calculation on Page 8.
- Page 6 INSTRUCTIONS FOR NEBULIZATION Nebulized medication may be used to support dogs, cats, avian, reptilian, or small mammals with respiratory disease. The aim is to deliver a dose of a required product to the patient as an aerosol in the form of respiratory particles. While the use of medication delivery via inhalant methods is widespread in human medicine (with substantial papers supporting differing drug therapies) veterinary literature and the current use of therapies, is currently,...
- Page 7 Make your calculations based off the reference tables. See example calculation on Page 8. Place the patient inside the Smart Oxygen unit, close all zips and maintain constant patient observation. Turn on the oxygen at the required flow rate to nebulize the medication. Therapy usually takes between 5 and 10 minutes. There will always be a small amount of liquid left in the nebulizer chamber.

Page 8: Example Calculation
EXAMPLE CALCULATION A 10 kg patient at 12 breaths per minute on a desired 35% oxygen saturation: placed in a Smart Oxygen unit using an initial flow rate of 5 lpm. Use Table 1 to determine the approximate amount of time (in minutes) to reach the desired oxygen concentration based on Venturi selection and flow rate. This is with no patient inside. With the patient inside, it will take slightly longer to achieve the desired concentration. - Page 9 NEVER leave an animal inside the Smart Oxygen unattended. When the zips are closed and the inlet/outlet are engaged, the unit is airtight. To avoid patient suffocation, metabolic gas (i.e. oxygen) must be flowing. JorVet assumes no liability for any malfunction, failure, damage, or loss to either equipment or life.
