Device typeOxygen/air breathing gas mixer, hospital: An independent mechanical device designed for accurate mixing of air and oxygen (O2) with O2 concentrations ranging from 21% to 100% (oxygen/air proportioner) that are appropriated for breathing in patients who need a concentration of O2 above the normal concentration in air. The mixer receives air and oxygen from either the hospital gas pipeline or from compressed gas cylinders; it may include a pressure-regulating mechanism. The mixer may deliver the gas to the patient through devices such as ventilators, tracheostomy tubes, endotracheal (ET) tubes, oxygen tents, and/or masks.
