  1. Cannula Costs & How To Reduce Them(portable O2 & Turbo-206 O2)Fred Clark, CAPTCivil Air PatrolSWR-NM-030, Sqdn IIJanuary, 2013

  2. We have two oxygen systems in the Squadron: • the Aeroxportable tanks:

  3. and the Precise Flight built-in system in the turbo-206:

  4. Aerox portable tank connector/valve and flow-meter

  5. Aerox portable tank connector/valve and flow-meter These are different from …

  6. Precise Flight connector and valve/flow-meter

  7. As an individual, you do not need to buy either of the valve/connector/flow-meter connections for either system.

  8. As an individual, you do not need to buy either of the valve/connector/flow-meter connections for either system. • Those stay with the O2 tanks (for the Aerox system) or with the airplane (for the turbo-206 system).

  9. As an individual, you do not need to buy either of the valve/connector/flow-meter connections for either system. • Those stay with the O2 tanks (for the Aerox system) or with the airplane (for the turbo-206 system). • You only need your own cannula.

  10. Cannula for Aerox portable O2 tank

  11. Note bell-shaped connecting end Cannula for Aerox portable O2 tank

  12. Cannula for Precise Flight O2 system in Turbo-206

  13. Note plastic adaptor (comes standard with the 206 cannula and must stay with it) Cannula for PreciseFlight O2 system in Turbo-206

  14. $44.43 ($35.54 + $8.89 s&h) at • http://aerox.com/product/conserving-cannula-cc-rev-a $29.95 + s&h from Precise Flight

  15. Thus, for an individual purchase, your cost could be well over $75.00, if you purchased one each of the two types of cannulas.

  16. Wouldn’t It Be Better to Buy One Cannula That Fits Both Systems? (There is a way.)

  17. Buy a cannula that has the bell-shaped connecting end

  18. Buy a plastic adaptor

  19. Cut the bell-shaped connecting end off of the cannula tubing

  20. Cut the bell-shaped connecting end off of the cannula tubing – but DON’T throw it away!

  21. Insert plastic adaptor into tubing. This cannula can then be used with the Turbo-206 O2 system.

  22. To use the same cannula with the portable Aerox system, re-attach the bell-shaped connector-end onto the other end of the plastic adaptor.

  23. Thus, a cannula plus a plastic adaptor would allow you to have one personal cannula that can be used to attach to either the Aerox portable tank or the Turbo-206 oxygen systems, interchangeably.
