Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif manuel (10) qui peut distribuer un flux d'oxygène à un utilisateur. Un mode de réalisation de la présente invention comprend une cartouche (12) conçue pour stocker de l'oxygène pressurisé et le libérer, un embout (14) et une soupape (16) reliée de manière fonctionnelle à la cartouche (12) et à l'embout (14). La soupape (16) de ce mode de réalisation permet à l'oxygène de s'écouler, de manière sélective, de la cartouche (12) à l'embout (14). La cartouche (12) de ce mode de réalisation peut être enlevée de l'embout (14) et remplacée.
