ABSTRACT:
Hypoxic delivery apparatus producing from ambient air a product gas having a lower levels of oxygen concentration and delivering the product gas to a user of the apparatus in pulse doses. Alternatively, the apparatus may include a selector for alternately delivering either a nitrogen enriched gas or an oxygen enriched gas to the user.
