Smart technology to ensure saturation

O2 is what we do.

The therapeutic effectiveness of 15+ hours of oxygen therapy a day for the chronic hypoxemic patient has beenshown to positively impact the survival rate and health related quality of life (HRQL).1 In the NOTT study, it was
shown that a higher number of hours of daily treatment resulted in prolonged survival, with 70% of the patients
who received oxygen therapy for 19+ hours surviving for 5 years. In addition, oxygen therapy has been shown toincrease capacity for activity (distance and endurance), decrease dyspnea, and improve HRQL. 2

Effective therapeutic oxygen delivery for your patient
The device delivering the oxygen therapy is just as important as the therapy itself. Pulse dose technology
administers oxygen much more efficiently—and there is no “wasted” oxygen—compared to continuous flow. The
volume, timing of delivery, and purity all contribute to effective oxygenation.

The FreeStyle Comfort is one of the most technologically-advanced portable pulse dose oxygen
concentrators.
• Offers up to 1050 mL of oxygen per minute• Supports consistent timing of delivery via UltraSense® breath detection technology• Ensures there is no gap in treatment via autoDOSE• Provides up to 95% O2 purity—helping to ensure effective oxygenation for your patient

UltraSense: Maximizing oxygen delivery
UltraSense is CAIRE’s proprietary sensitive breath detection technology—ensuring patients receive oxygen whenneeded.
Why is sensitivity important?
The first phase of a patient’s inhalation known as
the “golden third” of inhalation, is essential for thegaseous exchange in the alveoli. High sensitivity
is key to proper oxygen delivery within that earlyphase of inhalation. A delay in oxygen delivery
impedes oxygen absorption and gaseous
exchange in the lungs, which can cause thepatient to desaturate. 3
Patients may experience up to an 11% drop in SpO2
with a Pulse Dose Oxygen Concentrator
Device (PDOCD) due to inadequate triggering
sensitivity settings.4

CAIRE’s proprietary autoDose technology ensures there is never a gap in your patient’s oxygen therapy. If there
is no breath detected for 15 seconds, the autoDOSE feature will pulse oxygen at 20 breaths per minute until abreath is detected.
