Abstract:
Various systems, devices, NO 2  absorbents, NO 2  scavengers and NO 2  recuperator for generating nitric oxide are disclosed herein. According to one embodiment, an apparatus for converting nitrogen dioxide to nitric oxide can include a receptacle including an inlet, an outlet, a surface-active material coated with an aqueous solution of ascorbic acid and an absorbent wherein the inlet is configured to receive a gas flow and fluidly communicate the gas flow to the outlet through the surface-active material and the absorbent such that nitrogen dioxide in the gas flow is converted to nitric oxide.

Claim (Index 26):
A method for delivering nitric oxide to a patient, comprising:\n supplying: a gas source of nitrogen dioxide, dinitrogen tetraoxide, or nitric oxide; a first device having an inlet, an outlet, and a porous solid matrix, wherein the inlet is configured to receive a gas flow from the source and fluidly communicate the gas flow to the outlet through the porous solid matrix to convert nitrogen dioxide in the gas flow into nitric oxide; and a recuperator coupled to the outlet of the first device, wherein the recuperator includes an exit shell and an inside shell, the inside shell includes inner and outer tubes with fixed annulus; converting nitrogen dioxide into nitric oxide in the recuperator prior to delivery to the patient; and delivering nitric oxide to the patient.
