Safe-to-Fly Testing of the Guardian Angel Integrated Oxygen System (GAIOS)

Abstract

711 HPW/RHCP conducted safe-to-fly testing of the Guardian Angel Integrated Oxygen System (GAIOS). The system was comprised of the Mounted Medical Oxygen System (MMOS), Dismounted Medical Oxygen System (DMOS), and Oxygen Generating System (OGS). Testing was conducted in unmanned and manned configurations; and at ambient temperatures of Room Temperature, +130 deg F, and -40 deg F. MMOS was found safe up to a cabin altitude of 15,000 feet with up to two patients wearing standard medical masks. DMOS was found safe up to a cabin altitude of 15,000 feet with up to one patient wearing a standard medical mask. MMOS and DMOS were found safe up to a cabin altitude of 15,000 feet while supplying oxygen to one Impact 754 ventilator. During the testing MMOS and DMOS were filled with liquid oxygen conforming to 93% Oxygen U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP). The liquid oxygen was produced by a pre-production OGS.
