In-X Corporation, of Denver, CO, developer and manufacturer of home oxygen liquefaction systems received FDA Clearance today for the Home-Away® System. The Home-Away System enables patients with Long Term Oxygen Therapy (LTOT) needs to produce liquid oxygen in their home, thus eliminating the need for expensive deliveries.
“The revolutionary Home-Away System will enable patients on LTOT to remain mobile and maintain their quality of life. Additionally, it is exciting news for home healthcare providers because it eliminates costly and time-consuming deliveries while offering patients full mobility with the preferred form of ambulatory oxygen”, said Doug Powell, president of In-X Corporation.
The Home-Away System works in conjunction with any In-X approved oxygen concentrator to create liquid oxygen within the patient’s home. The system directs a portion of the oxygen flow from the concentrator directing it to a cryogenic cooling device, where it is condensed into liquid and stored within the system until it is ready to be transfilled into a portable liquid unit. The remaining oxygen gas produced by the concentrator is available for patient use at a flow of up to 3 lpm. The portable liquid unit is worn around the patient’s waist (similar to a fanny pack); weighs just 4.2 lbs when full and provides a typical patient with 6-8 hours of mobility per fill. The Home-Away System produces enough liquid oxygen for a patient to fill the portable liquid unit 3 times per day.
In-X anticipates having the Home-Away System ready for sale to home healthcare providers in the last quarter of 2005 with product delivery the first quarter of 2006.
