Apogee Benefits

Oxygen Conservers

Although the Apogee when in its carry case may look similar to an oxygen conserver (which also greatly extends the duration of a tank of oxygen) they are quite different. Oxygen conservers — whether attached to an oxygen tank or built into a portable oxygen concentrator (POC) — must decrease the amount of oxygen delivered to the patient in order to extend the time before oxygen tanks or batteries are replaced. It is simple physics. (Because of this, some conservers have been shown to deliver not much more than room air.)

Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POCs)

As POCs get smaller and lighter, it too often follows that oxygen volume and purity are reduced (with purity of the oxygen often falling below 88%).
(NOTE: Many oxygen conservers and POC’s also report that they provide ‘minute volume’ — delivering the same amount of oxygen to the patient each minute. Consequently, as the respiratory rate increases, the amount of oxygen delivered each breath must decrease in order to keep up with the increased breath rate. This could compromise delivering the prescribed oxygen to the patient.)

• Dual Sensor Technology – The Apogee® detects the earliest breath and delivers oxygen ONLY to the more open nasal passage. It recognizes the receptive airway, directs oxygen, and eliminates waste.
• Oxygen Purity – It maintains 99% pure, medical-grade oxygen and maintains the prescribed volume even with breath rates of 40, exceeding the industry’s highest rating standards.
• Therapeutic Delivery – The Apogee® provides 20-50% more oxygen to a nostril than any device available! It achieves oxygen saturation levels efficiently via targeted, selective oxygen therapy.
• Portability And Comfort – The Apogee® travels easily and weighs less than 5 lbs. It provides comfort by allowing the closed/blocked nostril to rest and helps to avoid irritation and dryness, equating to an enhanced user experience.
• Longer Session Options – It enables up to 13 hours of oxygen therapy at the #1 setting (at a breath rate of 20). It can aid you in making it through longer therapy programs without tank-changing disruptions.
