CSIR-CMERI after intensive research and observation developed the Oxygen Enrichment Technology which is premised upon the concept of an alternative methodology. This technology is far above in terms of performance and reliability when compared with Oxygen technologies available in the markets. This Technology in combination with NIV masks is veritable protection against transmission. It can be used as a Bedside Oxygen delivery system for 10 bedded facilities can also be deployed with a range of up to 10 LPM per bed and an overall capability of 100 LPM with an enrichment capability of 90%-96% range, stated a release.
