A Pulse Oximeter available from MyPilotStore.com is a must have as well...
Just trying to sort through all the posts so i can figure out what and where to buy the parts to make a good 2 person system.
Anyone feel free to chime in.
2 oxysaver cannulas (can source lots of places)
A decent size medical bottle and the gear to refill from my 02 welding tanks can be grabbed locally without trouble.
That seems pretty simple. What i dont have a clue about is what is a simple, easy to use and accurate metering, splitting valve set up to put on the tank, split and regulate for two people depending on alt?
Any links to what you have used, had good success with or would do differently, fits to refill easily from big tanks etc would be great.
I just cant see spending $500, but am not clear how best to set this up to work as needed. Thanks.
I did have trouble finding a place to fill it up! The FBO wanted $75 and did not have the right size adapter anyway... The Welder shops ALL said no-way, we cant touch a medical or an aviation bottle (the FDA will get us) and the medical equipment stores all said I needed a prescription for O2 from a doctor (it a drug you know I ended up finding an adapter (which I should have bought from DeltaO2 in the first place) and going back to the FBO to fill it... Im still not sure why the Welder suplly shops here in KY are so gun shy.

Is a pediatric regulator with fractional flow rates (< 1 lpm) recommended for use with conserving cannulas? I have always used standard cannulas and standard regulators but recently acquired conserving cannulas (have not used them yet).
Looks pretty old. You will need to have it hydro tested... for safety.
Thanks. By the weight, I'd say it is steel. As mentioned above, I will probably have to check when it was last hydro tested.
