SAME GENERATOR AS USED ON
BOEING PASSENGER AIRPLANES
Oxygen is produced by chemical reaction when the activation pin is pulled,
releasing a spring-powered striker that ignites the reactant. The reactant is sodium
chlorate which produces heat in an exothermic reaction (internal temperature of
the canister can reach over 300 °C degrees Celsius ).
Once activated the production of oxygen cannot be stopped until the reactant is
depleted. The heated sodium chlorate decomposes into sodium chloride (salt) and
oxygen gas. In the presence of water, chlorine gas and hypochlorite ions are also
produced. Disodium peroxide is used to scavenge the chlorine gas and hypochlorite
ions.
NaClO3 --> NaCl + 3/2 O2
Na2O + 1/2 O2 --> Na2O2 + heat
Na2O2 + Cl2 --> 2NaCl + O2

1.
OPEN COVER FLAP
2.
CONNECT APPROVED CANNULA TO FLOW INDICATOR
3.
PULL BOTH ACTIVATION PINS
4.
CLOSE COVER FLAP
5.

6.
DO NOT PLACE THE DEVICE DIRECTLY ON THE PATIENT
FOR MORE INFORMATION, REFER TO SI-P26029
OXYGEN FLOWS WITHIN 4 SECONDS
OF PULLING OUT BOTH PINS (SAFETY + ACTUATION)
CAUTION
ONCE ACTIVATED, THE GENERATOR WILL INCREASINGLY GET HOT AND REMAIN HOT EVEN AFTER THE FLOW HAS STOPPED.
THE END COVERS MUST REMAIN SECURED IN CLOSED POSITION AT ALL TIMES. AVOID PROLONGED DIRECT
(OVER 1 SECOND) AS POTENTIAL INJURY MAY OCCUR. NEVER PLACE THE DEVICE DIRECTLY ON THE PATIENT
CONTACT WITH THE SKIN
The O2PAK will become hot to the touch due to the exothermic reaction within the chemical oxygen generator
(the internal temperature can reach up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit - 316 degrees Celsius) with a ‘hot spot’ up to
86°C / 187°F: temperature reached at, near, or past the end of flow.

Where do I find the expiration date?
On the label of the O2PAK
Does it make a difference which pin I pull out first?
What happens if I remove only 1 pin?
NO (but both pins need to be removed)
The flow will not start
Both pins have been removed (2nd pin guarantees O2PAK will not actuate inadvertently)
Can pressure build up if the port is blocked?
NO (there is a relief valve)
Can the O2PAK be used against toxic fumes or smoke?
NO
Is it possible to stop the flow?
Is it possible to regulate the flow?
Can the O2PAK be used with ventilators (10-15LPM)?
NO (trying to putt a pin back will not stop the flow)
NO the flow is pre-determined
Not unless user combines multiple O2PAK to reach flow
Is it CE approved?
Not yet
Will the O2PAK explode if a bullet goes through?
NO, the O2PAK will not explode
What are the O2PAK storage temperatures?
Optimal :
Full range:
+50°F to +95°F (+10°C to +35°C)
-40°F to 158°F (-40°C to +70°C)
What are the O2PAK operating temperatures?
Optimal :
Full range:
+35°F to +95°F (+2°C to 35°C)
-4°F to 155°F (-20°C to 68°C)
Is a mask supplied with the O2PAK?
NO, the O2PAK is an oxygen source only
