Executive Product Overview
The Drive DeVilbiss CHAD Oxymizer Disposable Oxygen Conserver (Model P-224) is a non-electronic, fluidic oxygen-conserving nasal device engineered for continuous high-flow oxygen therapy. Operating without batteries, electronic logic circuits, or moving mechanical switches, the Oxymizer utilizes a close-coupled 20 mL internal reservoir pouch situated on the chest pendant to capture oxygen during the exhalation phase and release a highly concentrated bolus at the exact onset of inhalation.
Achieving up to a 4:1 oxygen conservation savings ratio, the P-224 reduces overall cylinder and liquid oxygen consumption by up to 75%. The pendant configuration positions the primary reservoir lower on the chest, making it easily concealable under clothing while eliminating face weight for improved patient comfort. Capable of accommodating continuous flow rates up to 15 LPM, it connects directly to standard oxygen sources including stationary concentrators, compressed gas cylinders, and liquid oxygen reservoirs.
Key Performance & Operational Features
- 100% Battery-Free Fluidic Logic: Mechanical pulse operation eliminates low-battery failures, charging cords, and electronic sensor weight.
- 4:1 Oxygen Conservation Ratio: Delivers equivalent clinical oxygenation at reduced flow settings, extending portable tank duration up to four times longer.
- Discreet Pendant Reservoir Housing: Positions the 20 mL storage chamber on the chest neck-loop for comfortable, weight-free facial wear that hides under shirts.
- High-Flow Accommodations (Up to 15 LPM): Safely handles high continuous input rates for difficult-to-saturate clinical patients.
- Universal Oxygen Source Integration: Standard 6-foot connection line hooks directly to concentrators, compressed gas cylinders, and liquid oxygen systems.
- Comfortable Latex-Free Construction: Soft medical-grade clear silicone nasal prongs prevent skin breakdown during extended wear.

Facility Procurement & Risk Mitigation Insight
Standardizing high-flow oxygen care on the Drive DeVilbiss CHAD Oxymizer P-224 extends portable compressed gas supply life by up to 400%, lowering institutional gas refill expenditures and cylinder delivery frequency. Because it requires no inline electronic controllers or batteries, it provides reliable high-flow oxygen conservation without electronic fault risks.
Product & Compliance FAQs
Q: What is the main design difference between the P-224 (Pendant) and F-224 (Mustache) Oxymizer models?
A: Both models deliver an identical 4:1 conservation ratio. The F-224 Mustache model features a storage reservoir sitting directly over the upper lip, whereas the P-224 Pendant model moves the 20 mL reservoir down to a weighted medallion sitting over the chest, concealing the reservoir under clothing and removing weight from the patient's nose.
Q: Can an inline humidifier bottle be used with the Oxymizer P-224?
A: No. Water humidifiers or active bubble bottles must not be used inline with the Oxymizer. Excess water vapor condenses inside the 20 mL chest reservoir pouch, causing the internal fluidic membrane to stick and rendering the conservation mechanism ineffective.
Q: How frequently should the Oxymizer P-224 be replaced?
A: The P-224 is a disposable accessory. It should be replaced every 3 weeks, or sooner if natural exhalation moisture accumulates noticeably inside the chest pouch and interferes with gas delivery.
