EasyPulse 5 + 6 oxygen regulator.

I have not heard of this, Interesting.

What is the regulator that goes on the E tank. How many liters are you on

I see I looked it up. I have to have 4 liters continuously. My dr took my Imogene away. Sticks but goes he knows best

@snoots
Do a search for Easy Pulse 5+6 to see one, can't post a picture of it or even give a link, I'm not allowed.
You can also get one from Amazon or Walmart.

I have 20 E-Tanks and use them during the day in my house. I have gotten as much as 39 hours on one tank, but the average is around 25 hours per tank.

That is amazing, would that setting always be on continuous or flow(both).Do you wear oxygen 24/7.be cause I have 14 E tanks and concentrator. Your hours are awesome

I'm on oxygen 24/7 and I have 20 E-Tanks.
When using the Easy-Pulse 5+6 Oxygen Regulator.
When I’m sitting and depending on how I’m doing I check my o2 stats to see where it is and adjust the pulse setting on the Easy-Pulse to maintain a good reading. If I need to get up and need more oxygen, I can just turn the knob to whatever I think I need up to 6 LPM.
On a few occasions I have the pulse set on 1 and have been as high as 100% of o2. My breath rate runs between 15 to 22 bpm.

Continuous Flow (Constant Flow):
This mode provides a steady flow of oxygen in Liters per Minute (LPM).
LPM (Liters per minute) E Cylinder Duration (Hours & Minutes)
1 9 hrs
2 4.5 hrs
3 3 hrs
4 2.25 hrs (2 hrs 15 mins)
5 2 hrs
6 1.5 hrs (1 hr 30 mins)
Pulse Flow (Conserving Regulator Pulse):
This mode delivers oxygen only during the first part of inhalation, which conserves oxygen and significantly extends tank life.
Setting E Cylinder Duration (Hours & Minutes) Constant Flow Equivalents
1 40.5 hrs 900 ml
2 25.8 hrs 1,260 ml
3 19.6 hrs 1,680 ml
4 15.7 hrs 2,100 ml
5 12.9 hrs 2,580 ml
The chart also provides a "Pulse Volume at Breath Rate" table to show the equivalent constant flow for each pulse setting based on the patient's breaths per minute (bpm).
________________________________________
On an oxygen cylinder or home oxygen concentrator, a setting 3 LPM provides 3 liters per minute, or 3,000 milliliters, of actual oxygen output. However, the average breathing rate is 20 breaths per minute, or once every 3 seconds. Therefore, an oxygen user only inhales about 1/3 of the output, or 1,000 mL. The science and math behind an oxygen conserver recognize that 2/3 of the oxygen is wasted, so if it is provided only when the user is inhaling, the oxygen can be conserved. When an oxygen conserver is used on an oxygen cylinder, it simply makes the oxygen last longer; when put into a portable oxygen concentrator (POC), it allows the unit to be smaller and the batteries to last longer.
The amount of oxygen output and the actual amount a patient receives on the various pulse settings depends on several factors.
CONSERVING RATIO
The first is the conserving ratio of the conserver that is used. Conservers use a 3:1 to 6:1 ratio, with the 3:1 ratio providing the largest amount of oxygen, and 6:1 providing the smallest amount of oxygen. When a conserver is used on an oxygen cylinder, a 3:1 ratio will allow the cylinder to last 3 times longer; a 6:1 ratio conserver will allow the cylinder to last 6 times longer.
In simplest terms, a conserver with a 3:1 ratio provides, in pulse doses, 1/3 the amount of the oxygen of the setting used. At 3 LPM, it provides 1 LPM, or 1,000 mL – the same amount of oxygen the average person would naturally inhale at 20 breaths per minute! I have provided a table of the pulse flow output using various conserve ratios:
1 LPM 2 LPM 3 LPM
3:1 RATIO 333 mL 667 mL 1,000 mL
4:1 RATIO 250 mL 500 mL 750 mL
5:1 RATIO 200 mL 400 mL 600 mL

@heffy82, you will be able to post links soon. Allow me to post the link for you:

Thank You Colleen for putting in the link!
I like to make and modify charts and take pictures to show people how I do things as examples.

@heffy82 OK, I can see this extending the life of a cylinder, but not being useful for a POC, most of which are pulse generated already.....or am I wrong? I am not a fan of the POC, although it does extend my range and can be recharged on the road, unlike a tank. And unfortunately, medicare won't provide both systems, so I am stuck with one or the other unless I pay for one, which I could do. What size tanks are you using?

When I went on oxygen over 5 years ago my insurance gave me a huge 10-liter oxygen concentrator and a few E-tanks. I didn’t want to use the E-tanks, so I bought an Inogen G5 and the Inogen Home concentrator.

After a year I started to look at the E-tanks, and I bought the Easy Pulse 5+6 regulator for them.

So, the way I use my supplemental Oxygen is probably different that most people.

I use the Inogen Home concentrator at night and after I shower, I switch over to using E-tanks around the house. I have 20 E-tanks and those easily last all month; I never have used all 20.

When I leave the house to go out to eat, doctor office, or church, etc., I use the Inogen G5. I have 3 extended batteries for it, but most of the time I would only bring 1 extra battery with me.

You are right Medicare won’t give you both a portable POC and oxygen tanks. So, I spent money out of pocket and bought some of my own equipment and I’m very glad I did.

I have learned a lot of little tricks to make living on oxygen a lot easier for me. I’m always thinking of ways to help myself out. I have no complaints about anything.
