THE COMPLETE SOLUTION POST OP
FCOT™
Post Operative 40% Oxygen Therapy Kit
40% FIXED OXYGEN
DELIVERY
The 40% (red) venturi delivers the fixed concentration irrespective
of oxygen flow rate and patient breathing pattern providing the
recommended level of oxygen concentration helping in fast post
operative wound healing therefore reducing the risk of
infection.
NO REBREATHING or OXYGEN
DILUTION
The high flow of oxygen enriched air (40%) flushes the expired
gases through the vents on the bag eliminating the risk of
rebreathing and during inspiration the bag collapses preventing any
dilution.

VISUAL OBSERVATION OF
SPONTANEOUS BREATHING
The mist formation on the T-piece and bag inflation/deflation
provides a visual observation. |
COST EFFECTIVE
The complete kit of 40% T-piece bag , Mask and Star Lumen Tubing
provides a cost effective solution. |

RECOVERY ROOM AND
WARD
Flexicare's FCOT™ is used with a Laryngeal mask in the recovery
room. There after the mask included within the kit can be used for
continuation of fixed concentration oxygen therapy.
FCOT provides a complete solution for post operative controlled
oxygen therapy at 40% which can be used with all Laryngeal Masks,
for spontaneous breathing adult and paediatric patients.
Oxygen is delivered to the patient at a predetermined 40%
through the venturi barrel using a flow rate of 10 Lpm from the
supply source and creating an overall flow rate at the patient end
of 40 Lpm ensuring that there is no dilution of the prescribed
concentration on inspiration.
During the inspiratory phase, the indicator bag deflates
preventing dilution as well as providing clearly visible signs of
breathing. Upon expiration the gases are flushed through the
indicator bag quickly and filled again with 40% oxygen for the next
breath.
FCOT is designed to continue with the patient after removal of the
supraglottic airway and deliver fixed concentration via an
aerosol mask during the remainder of the recovery period ensuring
that the concentration is not changed. This is critical for
patients who have undergone a major surgery where the
recommendation is to continue post-op oxygen therapy for a
further
3 days.
