EXHAUST CONDUIT AND ADAPTER MOUNTING FOR PORTABLE OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR

摘要

An exhaust conduit and adapter apparatus for mounting to a pair of exhau st outlets mounted oppositely on the base of a portable oxygen concentrator includes an opposed facing pair of substantially u-shaped hallow conduits wherein each conduit h as an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet ends are separated by a distance equal to a separation distance between the pair of exhaust outlets. The outlet ends are mounted to each oth er in fluid communication with a junction having a single outlet. The inlet ends are adapted for mounting to the pair of exhaust outlets so that, when so mounted, hot exhaust from th e oxygen concentrator flows through each conduit and out through the junction and the single outlet of the junction. An outflow conduit is mountable to the single outlet of the junction for outflow of the hot exhaust from the single outlet to a remote location, remote from a patient using the oxygen concentrator.
