Additional product description

Symmetric biconical connector 4x4MM is a connector used to link the various elements of the ventilation system. Connectors are designed to fit over tubing, enabling a supply source to be connected to a rigid connector or other device used in oxygen therapy. Symmetric biconical connector 4x4MM can’t be used alone, it must be connected to other devices to form a circuit for oxygen delivery (not CE marked by Promepla). This device does not treat a specific pathology but helps to connect 2 tubes which transport oxygen to the patient to re-establish or maintain a normal level of oxygen in the blood. It is a single-use, non-sterile device

  Disconnection or manufacturing faults in these various components could lead to oxygen leaks during patient oxygenation, thereby affecting patient safety. There are no contraindications associated with the symmetric biconical connector. However, there are contraindications and risks associated with oxygen therapy: Risk of fire: The main risk of oxygen therapy is that of fire due to smoking or proximity to a flame, and poor handling of tanks since oxygen is highly flammable. Oxygen toxicity: Oxygen toxicity is linked to free radicals, which can damage alveolar and tracheobronchial cells. Carbon dioxide retention: Oxygen administration can lead to respiratory depression and increased dead space, resulting in hypercapnia (increased CO2 levels in the blood) and respiratory acidosis. Drying out of mucous membranes: Oxygen can dry out mucous membranes, particularly in the eyes. Care must be taken to avoid directing the flow of oxygen to the eyes, especially in the case of contact lens wearers. Allergic dermatitis
