ResMed Oxygen Side Port Adapter
ResMed Oxygen Side Port Adapter
The ResMed Oxygen Side Port Adapter is a specialized accessory designed to safely and conveniently deliver supplemental oxygen from an oxygen concentrator into a CPAP or APAP system. It allows patients who require both CPAP therapy and supplemental oxygen to receive both treatments simultaneously through a single, integrated setup.
Key Features & Functionality:
Connection Point: The side port adapter is inserted between the CPAP device and the standard breathing tube, creating a secure junction for oxygen delivery.
Oxygen Inlet Port: A dedicated oxygen inlet on the adapter connects directly to standard oxygen tubing from an oxygen concentrator.
Streamlined Integration: Oxygen mixes with the pressurized airflow from the CPAP device before entering the breathing circuit, ensuring even delivery during both inhalation and exhalation.
Compatibility: It is compatible with most ResMed CPAP and APAP devices, including AirSense 10 and AirSense 11 series.
Clinical Use:
This adapter is essential for patients with co-existing respiratory conditions such as COPD or hypoxemia, who require oxygen supplementation during sleep. It simplifies therapy by avoiding the need for separate masks or additional tubing interfaces.
Placement Overview:
CPAP Device ➝ Oxygen Side Port Adapter ➝ CPAP Tube ➝ Mask
This ensures both therapies are seamlessly delivered without compromising pressure integrity or oxygen saturation levels.
