1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Blender Buddy is a manifold accessory designed to be attached to an outlet port of an air/oxygen blender. From the blender outlet port, the air/oxygen mixture passes into a primary or a primary and a secondary channel within the Blender Buddy manifold. The primary channel is used to deliver the gas to a set of flowmeters which meter the gas flow by means control valves. The secondary channel is a small channel that empties into a cavity (port) sized to receive a galvanic oxygen sensor; this port fits the Maxtec line of oxygen analyzers and is used to analyze oxygen concentration of the air/oxygen mixture to be delivered to a patient. The Blender Buddy can be configured with various sized color coded flowmeters for customized flow rate delivery to patients. Flowmeters are sold separately.
1.1 Indications For Use
This Blender Buddy is intended for use in conjunction with a Precision Medical® air/oxygen blender. The Blender Buddy allows the operator of a blender to supply a mixed gas through a set of flowmeters. Blender Buddies designed with bleeds include an extra analyzer port for analyzing the oxygen concentration of the air/oxygen mixture being delivered to a patient.

2.0 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- Attach the DISS female fitting A of the Blender Buddy to the DISS male fitting B on the left side of the Precision Medical® Blender E
- Attach flow meters C to the male DISS fittings D on the front of the Blender Buddy.
- Supply gas to the blender and check for leaks and proper function.
NOTE: The blender buddy is designed for use on the primary port (left side) of a blender. The blender buddy has a 3 lpm continuous bleed built into the manifold of the device. When properly installed on the left side of a blender the blender buddy’s bleed ensures accuracy of flow from the primary port at low flow rates, i.e. less than 3 lpm and is equal to the low flow accuracy of the auxiliary port on the right side of the blender.
For use with the following models:
