OxERA - Simple, Efficient, Portable and Cost-effective Oxygen Device
OxERA is a simple, efficient, portable and cost-effective device that delivers consistently high levels of oxygen to COVID-19 patients. The device’s key components are an anaesthetic mask and an adjustable mechanical valve, known as a positive end respiratory pressure (PEEP) valve. Oxygen supply is via a hose and accumulator bag, with the hose connected to any available oxygen source.
South Africa, like many developing countries, finds itself burdened with a high Covid-19 patient load but with a lack of skilled staff, ICU and high care facilities and bulk oxygen supplies to be able to effectively manage patients.
Gabler Medical hold the necessary Emergency Covid-19 SAHPRA approvals for manufacture, sales and distribution (local and international) of the OxERA™ device.
Able to provide superior levels of care compared to standard non-rebreather oxygen masks.
Up to 15l/min required, as it can operate at any oxygen flow rate by entraining extra room air, as required, through the anti-asphyxiation valve. This is no more than the standard oxygen masks already being used. Can be used on any oxygen source from oxygen concentrators to bottled and piped ward oxygen.
Through the snug fitting mask and accumulator bag, all the oxygen flowing down the line is available to the patient rather than being wasted when the patient exhales.
All levels of hospital staff and GPs quickly become familiar with using the device, meaning it can be used anywhere.
Locally designed and manufactured with off-the-shelf items used where possible.
Equipped with an anti-asphyxiation safety device in case oxygen supply runs out or is disconnected. Expired air filtered to keep environment safe for health care workers. Fully SAHPRA approved for Covid-19 emergency use.
Can be used anywhere where a suitable oxygen source is available ranging from home and ambulances to tertiary hospital level.
