Abstract:
The present disclosure describes a bi-valve for use with a flowmeter or other source of oxygen or other medical gas, that allows a medical practitioner to easily and quickly switch from delivering oxygen or other gas from the flowmeter or other gas source to a given mask or other device, to another mask or other device. This is accomplished far faster and easier than is done under current practice. Current practice results in the patient being off oxygen or other gas for a short, but very significant period of time, which poses a serious risk of desaturation in the patient. The bi-valve may include a casing, an inlet, and two outlets, with a knob for selecting which output the oxygen or other gas is to be delivered to. The device may be a very simple ball valve device, with the only moving parts being the knob and the ball.

Claim (Index 23):
A method as recited in  claim 20 , further comprising disposing of the bi-valve after a single use.
