GoLox Portable Liquid Oxygen System - Innovative, Worry-Free Design Makes Life Easier For You

The GoLox Portable Liquid Oxygen System is the latest innovation in home oxygen therapy from Respironics. The worry-free GoLox eliminates the complications of conventional portable liquid oxygen devices to allow you to focus on quality care, not problems. Its patent-pending automatic refill termination feature ensures a clean, full fill every time without the hassles associated with liquid oxygen overfill. In addition, the unique GoLox fill coupler helps to prevent freezing during refill. To reduce operating costs, the GoLox Portable Liquid Oxygen System utilizes a less expensive single-lumen cannula and requires no batteries.

Since GoLox provides superior oxygen duration in a small, compact device, it gives you all the time you need to do what you want ��� when you want. Because GoLox reduces the worry associated with overfilling and freezing, it won���t get in your way or slow you down.

GoLox Portable Liquid Oxygen System Includes GoLox device, shoulder strap, 4' single luman cannula, carry bag and user manual.
