1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Blender Buddy is a manifold accessory designed to be attached to an outlet port of the
Bio-med Devices air/oxygen blender. From the blender outlet port, the air/oxygen mixture
passes into a primary or a primary and a secondary channel within the Blender Buddy mani-
fold. The primary channel is used to deliver the gas to a set of flowmeters which meter the
gas flow by means control valves. The secondary channel is a small channel that empties
into a cavity (port) sized to receive a galvanic oxygen sensor; this port fits the Maxtec line of
oxygen analyzers and is used to analyze oxygen concentration of the air/oxygen mixture to
be delivered to a patient. The Blender Buddy can be configured with various sized color coded
flowmeters for customized flow rate delivery to patients. Flowmeters are sold separately.
1.1 Indications For Use
The Blender Buddy is intended for use in conjunction with the Bio-med Devices air/oxygen
blender. Then Blender Buddy allows the operator of a blender to supply a mixed gas through a set
of flowmeters. Blender Buddies designed with bleeds include an extra analyzer port for analyzing
the oxygen concentration of the air/oxygen mixture being delivered to a patient.
