Sunset Healthcare’s Lynx Venturi System offers a single mask and high- or low-flow venturi adapter.
RT’s Three Key Takeaways:
- Lynx Venturi System Enhances Oxygen Delivery: Sunset Healthcare’s Lynx Venturi System simplifies oxygen therapy by replacing multiple venturi adapters with a single mask and adaptable high- or low-flow venturi system, providing precise FiO2 delivery across a full range of oxygen needs.
- Operational Efficiency and Waste Reduction: The integrated design reduces reliance on multiple components, minimizes product waste, and ensures seamless patient transitions across EMS, ED, ICU, and other care settings, improving clinical and financial outcomes.
- User-Friendly Design Supports Healthcare Efficiency: Lynx’s easy-to-use adapters require minimal training, free up respiratory therapists for complex tasks, and facilitate early intervention in hypoxemia through accurate PaO2/FiO2 assessment.
Sunset Healthcare Solutions released the Lynx Venturi System, which replaces multiple venturi adapters, bulky high concentration venturis and non-rebreather bag systems with a single mask and high- or low-flow venturi adapter.
The system reduces waste while providing impactful operational, financial and clinical outcomes, according to Sunset Healthcare.
Lynx offers a low concentration (24–60% FiO2) and high concentration (65%–100% FiO2) adapter, delivering the full range of oxygen flow with unmatched precision. Lynx produces less than 2% variance during mild, moderate and severe respiratory distress, delivering a safe and efficient supplemental oxygen delivery.
Lynx facilitates seamless transitioning and remains with the patient throughout EMS, ED, ICU, OR, PACU, and medical/surgical floor journey. Its integrated system reduces reliance to keep entire venturi sets together as the patient moves throughout the healthcare process—leading to less loss of opened products and a reduction in multiple opened packages. The user-friendly adapters require limited training, relieving respiratory therapists of precious time and allowing them to attend to more complex environments when most needed. Its integrated system reduces reliance to keep entire venturi sets together as the patient moves throughout the healthcare process—leading to less loss of opened products and a reduction in multiple opened packages.
The Lynx low concentration adapter features six different ports and excellent CO2 washout. The high concentration adapter features three ports and allows for rapid de-escalation of FiO2 in the EMS ambulance or ED to prevent CO2 buildup. Its accurate assessment of the severity of hypoxemia (PaO2/FiO2) facilitates early intervention and better outcomes.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to look into non-standard ways of delivery,” says Mark Lipson, Director of Sales Operations for Sunset’s Acute Care Division. “Lynx brings convenience to the market, as well as cost savings and a reduction in waste. It’s designed to align with value-based healthcare and helps improve the patient experience down the line.”
