INTRODUCTION
The Blender Buddy is a manifold accessory designed to be attached to an outlet port of the Tenacore air/oxygen blender. From the blender outlet port, the air/oxygen mixture passes into a primary or a primary and a secondary channel within the Blender Buddy manifold. The primary channel is used to deliver the gas to a set of flowmeters that meter the gas flow by means of control valves. The secondary channel is a small channel that empties into a cavity (port) sized to receive a galvanic oxygen sensor; this port fits the Maxtec line of oxygen analyzers and is used to analyze the oxygen concentration of the air/oxygen mixture to be delivered to a patient. The Blender Buddy can be configured with various sized color-coded flowmeters for customized flow rate delivery to patients. Flowmeters are sold separately.
Indications For Use
The Blender Buddy is intended for use in conjunction with the Tenacore air/oxygen blender. Then Blender Buddy allows the operator of a blender to supply a mixed gas through a set of flowmeters. Blender Buddies designed with bleeds include an extra analyzer port for analyzing the oxygen concentration of the air/oxygen mixture being delivered to a patient.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Before assembly verify that the flow meters are the correct flow and gas type according to the labeling on the flow meters. Prior to assembling the Blender muddy inspect all parts for signs of damage.
-
Be sure the small o-ring D is present around the threads of the short bolt H between the small block B and the blender.
-
Attach the small adapter block B to the left side of the blender using the short bolt H and provided Allen Wrench (No thread tape is necessary). Remove any fittings from the left side outlet if necessary.
*Skip to Step 9 if flow meters are already attached. -
Wrap both threaded ends of the pipe nipples E with thread tape (1-1/2 wraps).
Use caution to ensure the tape does not occlude the fittings. -
Use a 7/16″ wrench to tighten the pipe nipples E into the threaded holes of the flow meters F G.
-
Tighten one assembled flow meter G into one of the threaded holes on the large block A . Use caution to ensure the flow meter is mounted vertically.
-
Remove the clear flow tube and shield from the other flow meter F . Note how the flow meter components are arranged for reassembly in a subsequent step.
Use caution to prevent contamination from entering the disassembled flow meter. -
Tighten the disassembled flow meter F into the other threaded hole in the large block A.
-
Reassemble the flow meter F . Use caution to ensure the flowmeter is mounted vertically.
-
Insert large o-ring I into the o-ring groove of the large block A.
-
Verify white bleed control plug is inside port of the large block.
-
Attach large block A to small block B with the two long screws C.
-
Supply gas to the blender and check for leaks and proper function. C
NOTE: The blender buddy is designed for use on the primary port (left side) of a blender. The blender buddy has a 3 lpm continuous bleed built into the manifold of the device. When properly installed on the left side of a blender the blender buddy’s bleed ensures accuracy of flow from the primary port at low flow rates, i.e. less than 3 pm and is equal to the low flow accuracy of the auxiliary port on the right side of the blender. For use with the following models:
- Tenacore Blenders
