Oxygen regulators deliver oxygen on continuous flow only.
Oxygen conservers deliver oxygen on inhalation only and do not provide oxygen during exhalation, thus allowing the cylinder contents to last 3 to 5 times longer than a regulator.

Single lumen conservers use a single cannula where negative and positive pressure goes through a single tube.
Dual lumen conservers utilize a special cannula that senses on one side and delivers oxygen through the other tube. Dual lumen conservers are optimal for shallow breathers or those who require a more sensitive device to trigger the oxygen.

D.I.S.S. stands for a Diameter Index Safety System – a type of outlet valve that provides a unique connection that is specific for the gas used (i.e. oxygen, CO2, nitrogen, etc) to avoid delivery of incorrect gas.

CGA 540 fitting is a nipple and nut configuration for cylinders larger than an E size (i.e. M60, MM H, J, K & T).
CGA 870 is a fitting for oxygen only and is used for E cylinders and smaller.

A standard cannula is used for single lumen conservers – the positive and negative pressure sharing the same tubing.
Demand cannulas are used for dual lumen conservers with a split tube for inhalation and oxygen delivery.
