To provide emergency oxygen therapy to a patient in respiratory
distress:
Refer to Figure 1 on Page 2
uThe Smart Oxygen unit has two ports Athat may be used as inlet
and outlet. Keep both ports uncapped and attach the double
male connector Bto one of the ports.
uConnect the tubing to your oxygen source.
uIf using an anesthesia machine - Connect the blank
Venturi (no holes) Cto one end of the tubing Dand attach
to the end of the anesthesia breathing circuit.
u Ifusingaregulator/owmeterwithamaleDISS
outlet – Connect the Christmas Tree Swivel Adaptor Gto
one end of the tubing Dand attach to your oxygen supply.
u Ifusingaregulator/owmeterwithabarbedoutlet–  
Connect one end of the tubing Ddirectly to your oxygen
supply.
uConnect the green Venturi Eto the other end of the tubing
and attach it to the Smart Oxygen inlet port via the double
male connector B. The opposite port is considered the outlet
now. Do not cap the outlet port while a patient is inside the
Smart Oxygen cage! If necessary, attach waste gas anesthetic
scavenging system tubing to the outlet port.
uInitially,anoxygenowrateof4L/minforapatientofupto10
kg is recommended.
uPlace patient inside the Smart Oxygen unit, close all the zips, turn
on the oxygen and maintain constant patient observation. Allow
the patient to rest briey in the oxygen-enriched environment
before further investigation or handling. For more details in
the correct use of the Smart Oxygen unit, you must read all
instructions contained within this manual.
QUICK START

4
Supplementary oxygen should be provided immediately to
patients with dyspnea or cyanosis. Improved blood oxygenation
of the patient may also be achieved when using the unit pre and
post anesthesia. The oxygen percentage within the Smart oxygen
unitisdeterminedbytheextentofllingitwithairandoxygenvia
the Venturi. Patients in respiratory crisis should be given a high
percentage of oxygen initially and then the concentration gradually
reduced to the lowest level at which the patient can breathe
comfortably. Opening the zips and carrier lid will drop the oxygen
level to that of room air almost immediately.
Venturi
This kit contains 5 Venturi in various colors. The colors represent
anairtooxygenratio.Oxygenfromyoursupplyowsthroughthe
tubing into the attached Venturi. As the oxygen passes though the
Venturi, it draws in room air, which then mixes with the oxygen.
The larger the size of holes in the Venturi, the more room air is
drawnin.TheresultingmixturethenowsintotheSmartOxygen
unit providing the animal with an oxygen rich environment. Each
Venturi is labeled with the percent of oxygen it can provide.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR OXYGEN THERAPY
uThe Smart Oxygen unit has two ports Athat may be used as inlet
and outlet. Attach the double male connector Bto one port A.
uConnect the tubing to your oxygen source.
uIf using an anesthesia machine - Connect the blank
Venturi (no holes) Cto one end of the tubing Dand attach
to the end of the anesthesia breathing circuit.
u Ifusingaregulator/owmeterwithamaleDISS

uSelect which Venturi Emeets the needs of your patient. Connect
this Venturi to the other end of the small tubing and attach it to
the uncapped Smart Oxygen inlet port Avia the double male
connector B.
uMake your calculations based off the reference tables.
See example calculation on Page 8.
uPlace patient inside the Smart Oxygen unit, close all the zips
and maintain constant patient observation. Turn on the oxygen
at the required ow rate. Ensure the outlet port is uncapped
to prevent pressure and CO2from building up in the system.
Attach waste gas anesthesia scavenging tubing if necessary.
u Allow the patient to rest briey in the oxygen enriched
environment before further investigation or manipulation. Patient
breathing rate should be monitored as it may change due to
anxiety, temperature, or humidity.
Oxygen concentration levels rapidly fall when the zips/lid is
opened!
Constant patient monitoring and observation must be maintained
throughout use!
The Smart Oxygen system is intended for short term use.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR NEBULIZATION
Nebulized medication may be used to support dogs, cats, avian,
reptilian, or small mammals with respiratory disease. The aim is to
deliver a dose of a required product to the patient as an aerosol
in the form of respiratory particles. While the use of medication
delivery via inhalant methods is widespread in human medicine
(with substantial papers supporting differing drug therapies)
veterinary literature and the current use of therapies, is currently,
limited in publication.
When the nebulization medication requires dilution, this should be
madeupwith0.9% sodiumchloride (saline).Water forinjection,
tap or bottled water, etc. should not be used.
uThe Smart Oxygen unit has two ports Athat may be used as inlet
and outlet. Attach the double male connector Bto one port and
the other to your waste gas anesthesia scavenging tubing.
uConnect the tubing to your oxygen source.
uIf using an anesthesia machine - Connect the blank
Venturi (no holes) Cto one end of the tubing Dand attach
to the end of the anesthesia breathing circuit.
u Ifusingaregulator/owmeterwithamaleDISS
outlet – Connect the Christmas Tree Swivel Adaptor Gto
one end of the tubing Dand attach to your oxygen supply.
u Ifusingaregulator/owmeterwithabarbedoutlet– 
Connect one end of the tubing Ddirectly to your oxygen
supply.
uUnscrew the top half of the nebulizer Fand add the medication
solution.Thevolumeofuidinthechamberisusually2to4.5
mL, depending on the product being administered. Keep the
nebulizer vertical while screwing it back together.
uAttach the open end of the oxygen tube Dto the base of the
nebulizer and the top of the nebulizer to the double male
connector B.

uMake your calculations based off the reference tables.
See example calculation on Page 8.
uPlace the patient inside the Smart Oxygen unit, close all zips and
maintain constant patient observation. Turn on the oxygen at the
required ow rate to nebulize the medication. Therapy usually
takesbetween5and10minutes.Therewillalwaysbeasmall
amount of liquid left in the nebulizer chamber.
After therapy, ush the unit with oxygen before lifting the lid.
Failure to do so may result in medication or gas escaping into the
procedure area.
Patient breathing rate should be monitored as it may change due
to anxiety, temperature, or humidity.
Ensure that all connections are engaged to prevent medication or
gas escaping into the procedure area.
Ensure the nebulizer is rinsed with sterile water between dose
administration.
Oxygen concentration levels fall rapidly when the zips/lid is
opened.
Constant patient monitoring and observation must be maintained
throughout use!
The Smart Oxygen system is intended for short term use.

u Use Table 1 to determine the approximate amount of time (in
minutes) to reach the desired oxygen concentration based on
Venturi selection and ow rate. This is with no patient inside.
With the patient inside, it will take slightly longer to achieve the
desired concentration.
uExample 2.8 mins to achieve desired oxygen concentration
Then, once concentration is achieved:
uUse Table 2 to determine how much your patient’s tidal volume.

Oxygen from an oxygen tank is the best source for the Smart
Oxygen unit. Oxygen concentrators may be used but due to the
lower PSI and oxygen concentration, the oxygen concentration
inside the Smart Oxygen unit may not be what is expected or stated
in the instructions. Using an oxygen analyzer inside the cage can
help the user ensure the correct concentration is achieved when
using an oxygen concentrator as the oxygen source.

The Smart Oxygen cage is designed for short term use. Longer
term use can result in excessive heat and humidity within the
cage. The temperature and humidity monitor can help ensure the
patient is in a comfortable environment. The monitor can be placed
anywhereinsidethecage. Itconvenientlyts betweenthemetal
cage and plastic cover, either on top of the cage or along the wall.
uRemovetheprotectivelmappliedtotheLCDscreen.Slideoff
the battery compartment cover.
uInstall1xAAbatteryintothecompartmentasshown&replace
the battery cover. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Avoid placing the monitor in direct sunlight and/or near a heat
source. Keep free from dirt and dust.
Temperature is displayed in either Fahrenheit or
Celsius. (Press the “°C/°F” button located on
the back of the display unit to select Celsius or
Fahrenheit.) Humidity is displayed in percent.
The lowest and highest temperature & humidity
recordedoverpast24hoursisalsodisplayed
along the right side of the monitor. Humidity
Level Icon – The humidity level icon easily
conveys a low, high, or ideal humidity level.
TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY MONITOR
Highly concentrated sources of oxygen promote rapid combustion in the presence
of naked ames and sparks. Ensure that adequate precautions are taken before,
during and after the use of Smart Oxygen.
Amaximumof 60%oxygenin theair-oxygenmixtureisrecommended.Itis best
practice to decrease the amount of supplemented oxygen as soon as possible.
NEVER leave an animal inside the Smart Oxygen unattended. When the zips
are closed and the inlet/outlet are engaged, the unit is airtight. To avoid patient
suffocation, metabolic gas (i.e. oxygen) must be owing.
