Ferno Oxy-Clip Oxygen Cylinder Holder

Yes, the Ferno Oxy-Clip is specifically designed to securely transport “D” size oxygen cylinders. It offers the following compatibility features:

• It accepts both steel and aluminum D size cylinders.
• Important: The holder is exclusively for standard D size and will not accept E- or Jumbo “D” sized cylinders.

The Ferno Oxy-Clip uses a rapid, spring-loaded latch system for secure attachment to specific cot side rails. For standard compatibility, the rails must meet these specifications:

• Rail Type: Round side arms (typically aluminum).
• Rail Diameter: Exactly 0.75 inches (19 mm).

Compatibility Models

Two configurations of the Oxy-Clip are available to ensure the best fit:

• Model 514 (Standard): Compatible with most cots (except the Model 28).
• Model 514-1: Specifically designed only for the Ferno Model 28 Fernoflex cot.

The Ferno Oxy-Clip is designed for rapid deployment, utilizing a specialized spring-loaded latch mechanism for instant, secure attachment to the cot rail. This feature minimizes preparation delays during critical transport.

Key attachment specifications:

• Mechanism: The spring-loaded latch ensures a tight, reliable connection without requiring tools.
• Compatibility: It is specifically engineered to fit round cot side arms that measure 0.75 inches (19 mm) in diameter.
• Benefit: This precise fit guarantees the stability and safety of the oxygen cylinder throughout patient transport.

Yes, the Ferno Oxy-Clip is designed with a built-in carrying handle.

This integrated feature provides significant convenience and safety, allowing EMTs to easily handle and transport the entire assembly, including the ‘D’ size oxygen cylinder and the regulator, especially when the cylinder is not mounted to the cot side rail.

Yes, the Ferno Oxy-Clip is specifically engineered to facilitate smooth patient transfers by rotating out of the way.

This feature is crucial during patient handoff, ensuring safety and efficiency. The mechanism works as follows:

• Rotation: The holder rotates downward and out of the way when the medical cot’s sidearm is lowered.
• Function: This ensures an unobstructed path when transferring the patient (along with the D-size oxygen cylinder) to a hospital bed.

The Ferno Oxy-Clip is designed to be lightweight, minimizing added burden during patient transport.

• Product Weight: The holder unit weighs 1.5 lb (0.7 kg).
• Shipping Weight: The total approximate shipping weight is 3 lb.

The Ferno Oxy-Clip is designed to be compact and lightweight, ensuring efficient handling without adding unnecessary bulk to the cot. The unit’s specifications are:

• Length: 12 inches (30 cm)
• Depth: 5 inches (13 cm)
• Height: 7 inches (18 cm)

The holder itself weighs only 1.5 lb (0.7 kg).

Yes, the Ferno Oxy-Clip is available in two distinct configurations to ensure proper compatibility with different cot models:

• Model 514 (Standard): This configuration is designed for use with most standard cots that utilize round aluminum side arms (0.75” / 19 mm diameter rails).
• Model 514-1: This model is specifically configured for use exclusively with the Model 28 Fernoflex cot.

The Ferno Oxy-Clip is precision-engineered to optimize safety and accessibility for D-size oxygen cylinders during patient transport.

Key safety and operational benefits include:

• Superior Cylinder Placement: The holder secures the oxygen tank directly onto the cot side rail, which is a significantly safer location than placing the cylinder underneath the patient or between their legs.
• Rapid, Secure Attachment: It features a spring-loaded latch allowing for instant and reliable attachment to compatible cot rails that are 0.75 inches (19 mm) in diameter, minimizing crucial setup time.
• Easy Monitoring: The placement ensures EMTs maintain unobstructed access to the oxygen regulator controls, allowing for constant monitoring of consumption rates.
• Seamless Patient Transfer: The unit is designed to automatically rotate down and out of the way when the cot sidearm is lowered, ensuring smooth transfers to hospital beds.
• Safe Handling: Includes a built-in carrying handle for easy and safe management of the cylinder and regulator assembly when not mounted on the cot.

Yes, the Ferno Oxy-Clip is built with a robust metal construction to ensure durability and reliable performance during demanding emergency transport.

Key features related to its construction and security include:

• Material: Features durable metal components designed to safely secure heavy steel or aluminum “D” size oxygen cylinders.
• Security: Utilizes a quick-release, spring-loaded latch for instant and secure attachment to 0.75-inch (19 mm) diameter cot rails.
• Weight: Despite its robust nature, the holder is lightweight, weighing only 1.5 lb (0.7 kg).
