Using instruction- oxygen bag

1. Product Purpose

The oxygen bag is designed for passive oxygen therapy in animals in clinical, outpatient, and field conditions. The product enables the creation of an environment with an increased oxygen concentration while allowing patient monitoring and control.

The product is intended for veterinarians and qualified users. It may be used by breeders only in accordance with veterinary recommendations.



2. Structural Components

The bag is equipped with:

  • two transparent walls allowing patient observation,

  • front double-slider zipper,

  • two oxygen connection ports for tubing,

  • one oxygen system adapter (included),

  • side adjustable Velcro ventilation flap,

  • side technical zipper for passing cables (e.g. ECG),

  • bottom pocket for a heating mat with an insulating foam layer,

  • top carrying handle,

  • foldable flat design for easy storage.



3. Preparation for Use

  • Unfold the bag on a stable, flat surface.

  • If needed, place an electric heating mat in the bottom pocket (use of a Grande Finale thermal mat is recommended).

  • Ensure all zippers are functioning and properly closed.

  • Connect the oxygen tubing to one of the ports using the included adapter.

  • Check tubing patency and proper connection to the oxygen source.



4. Placing the Patient

  • Open the front zipper.

  • Gently place the patient inside the bag.

  • Close the bag, leaving only necessary openings for monitoring cables if required.

  • Start oxygen flow according to clinical recommendations.



5. Therapy Monitoring

  • Observe the patient through transparent walls.

  • Monitor vital parameters (respiration, heart rate, SpO₂, ECG if needed).

  • If humidity increases inside the bag, use the side ventilation flap and adjust airflow.

  • For quick access, partially unzip or insert a hand through the side technical opening if necessary.



6. Ventilation and Humidity Control

In case of condensation or increased humidity:

  • gently open the adjustable ventilation flap,

  • adjust the opening size as needed,

  • avoid sudden full opening to prevent a rapid drop in oxygen concentration.



7. Safety Rules

  • Use only under the supervision of a qualified person.

  • Do not leave the patient unattended.

  • Do not use near open flames or ignition sources (high oxygen concentration increases fire risk).

  • Monitor patient temperature when using heating mats.

  • Do not exceed oxygen flow rates recommended by a veterinarian.



8. Cleaning and Disinfection

After use:

  • disconnect the oxygen source,

  • empty and fully unzip the bag,

  • clean surfaces with a medical-grade disinfectant,

  • allow to dry completely before folding,

  • store folded flat in a dry place.



9. Storage

The bag can be folded flat for convenient storage in a clinic, emergency kit, or field vehicle. Store in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight.
