Functions And Design :
The Healthgenie HG-301 is designed for domestic use. It is assistive in nature and helps patients breathe more easily. It is useful for treating cardiovascular and respiratory disorders. It is also suitable for pregnant women and the elderly.
The machine is based on Pressure Swing Adsorption technology. This technology involves passing ambient air through a high-density molecular sieve bed. This bed acts as a filter for trapping nitrogen. The remaining air contains high amount of oxygen as most of the other gases are removed. The machine produces oxygen with a purity level of 93% give or take 3%. It is ideal for homecare therapies and treatment.
Maximum flow of the HG-301 is 3 liter per minute and minimum flow is 0.5 liter per minute. A flow meter shows you the oxygen flow rate at any point of time. A flow meter knob is provided so you can control the airflow as per your need. There is a change in maximum recommended flow (<0.5 L/min) when back pressure of 7 kpa is applied.
Minimum working time of the machine is 30 minutes and maximum working time is 8 hours. There are 2 timer buttons for increasing and decreasing the working time. A display shows the number of minutes the device has worked since being powered on. This helps you keep track of the amount of time the patient has been using the device.
A special stand in the form of an alcove is built into the machine’s front for holding the humidifier. It offers a safe and stable place for the bottle. A transparent door covers the alcove, preventing the bottle from accidentally falling off. The process of fixing and removing the bottle is very simple. You just need to detach it from the tube, fill it with clean filtered water and put it back on.
The Healthgenie HG-301 has timing power-off function which shuts down the device when the preset time elapses. It has power loss function which also shuts down the system in case of power cut.
