SMARTNasalCannulaTM Introducing Oxyview® Oxyview® is a safety device and the world's first in-line oxygen flow-meter. The Oxyview® quickly turns your nasal cannula into a Smart Nasal Cannula that is capable to monitoring your oxygen flow, while at the same time assures proper equipment function. This is a low cost solution that provides an easy to read, real time accurate measurement of continuous oxygen flow. - Oxyview® Monitors real-time oxygen flow rate continuously !- Oxyview® Assures proper function of your oxygen equipment including your regulator and tank !- Oxyview® Provides additional safety and assurance to home oxygen patients who rely on oxygen therapy ! A disposable high-quality latex-free soft-tip cannula with an In-Line Oxyview that is maintenance free. “Self Monitoring Advanced Respiratory Technology” offers the patient the same piece of mind as Oxyview itself but in a single package. Smart Nasal Cannula w/ Oxyview comes in sizes: - Adult - Child - Infant and in flows of 0-3 and 0-6 liters per minute
Revolutionary Oxyview Flow-Meter • In-line with cannula, near patient • Works in any position (non-gravity dependent) • Patient Friendly and Durable • Lightweight • Inexpensive • More Accurate Allows clinician to see oxygen flow during rehab and at home when a patient requires extenders to be attached to their nasal cannula for mobility Patients using a low flow oxygen can quickly verify oxygen flow even though they do not always feel the gas flow. Improves Oxygen Therapy
What Is Oxyview®? • Oxyview® is a flow-meter. • Oxyview® mounts between the cannula and the tank “in-line” • Oxyview® delivers an easily read confirmation of actual flow • Oxyview® is the worlds first gravity independent flow-meter • Oxyview® is pneumatic and requires no batteries • Oxyview® can be used with oxygen devices including: • Concentrators • CPAPs • Gas or liquid oxygen tanks • And other oxygen equipment • Equipment can be placed at any distance from the patient since Oxyview® can be mounted close to the patient and “in-line” with the oxygen tubing. • Oxyview® can quickly verify to the patient/caregiver the correct oxygen flow, leaks or malfunction in the regulator or respiratory equipment. • Oxyview® is the new generation of pneumatic safety devices needed in the growing oxygen therapy market.

Differences Oxyview® Conventional Flow-Meters • Oxyview works in any direction, hands-free, using severalcontrolled forces to include oxygen flow, cyclonic inductionand Ingen's patented proprietary gravity-independentspring technology. • Conventional flow-meters work on two forces, oxygen flow and gravity. • Conventional flow-meters are 20-30% inaccurate due toseveral reasons: • Friction… ball inside rubs against the walls. • Moisture… water vapor will build-up inside. • Vibration… sound and movement causes more friction. • Temperature….inside material contracts & expands. • Position…device must be perpendicular to the earth. • Oxyview is 90%-100% accurate in any position regardlessof friction, moisture, vibration, temperature or position. Further, because of the accuracy, faulty regulators and other gauges can be identified. • Oxyview can be mounted near the cannula. This allowsfor exact flow rate measurement. It can help the patientwith problems associated with tubing obstruction. • Conventional Flow Meters are heavy and made of steel,glass and brass. They are subject to weather defectsand will crack. These devices can only be mounted onthe tank and requires special tools and knowledge. • Oxyview is strong and lightweight. The polycarbonate construction is rust resistant and stronger than steel or brass . The Oxyview can be installed in less than a minute without using any special wrench. • Conventional flow meters are costly to purchase and replace. It is not a simple fix.
Home Care & Assisted Living More and more people are using oxygen therapy outside the hospital, permitting them to lead active, productive lives. People with asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, occupational lung disease, lung cancer, cystic fibrosis, or congestive heart failure may use oxygen therapy at home. Home oxygen therapy accounts for the largest share of Medicare payments for durable medical equipment. Oxyview allows home care patients to live relatively “Worry Free” by providing peace-of-mind at minimal cost • Assurance that prescribed flow is being supplied through the cannula • Confirmation that DME equipment is functioning properly • Determine if flow is reduced by addition of humidifier bottle • Accurately read meter whether person is sitting, standing or sleeping.
Market Research Data • 8-9% of Americans suffer from respiratory conditions such as: • Asthma • COPD • Bronchitis • The largest respiratory market is asthma. • Oxyview applies to the non-asthma markets which represents $4Billion today and will increase to $6Billion by 2012. • Despite the delivery apparatus, Oxyview can participate in the $4-$6 Billion market because reliable oxygen therapy is critical to all patients, caregiversand suppliers. • Opportunities for Oxyview in the home health care setting are driven by the convergence of two trends: • First, the segment of the US population aged 65 and over will double by 2015 • Second, there is a concerted drive to move patients from the hospital to the home care setting as quickly as possible. • Oxygen and respiratory manufacturers are competing aggressively for new patients by introducing new, easier-to-use equipment. • An extensive study performed by In-Touch Life Sciences, LLC indicates that Oxyview can be a successful medical device for the oxygen therapy market place.
