YUCAIPA, Calif., May 31, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Of the 1 in 59 Americans who will be diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) at some time in their lives, those who live with it suffer further complications and sometimes death when operator or equipment error cuts off their home oxygen therapy flow. Medical device manufacturer, Ingen Technologies, Inc. (www.Ingen-tech.com), has solved the problem with the development of Oxyview®, a simple, inexpensive reusable pneumatic flow meter which simply shows the patient that oxygen is still flowing. Oxyview® is available as part of a disposable nasal cannula apparatus, sold as The SMART Nasal Cannula® or as individual reusable units that can be attached to medical tubing, then reattached over and over again. The product is available at www.Ingen-tech.com and through major medical supply distribution channels.
