New to Penn Care’s Disaster Response Division, the Mass Oxygen Distribution System or MODS is revolutionizing the way organizations and communities prepare for disaster. These MODS provide over 64,000 gaseous liters of oxygen (stored as only 75-liters of LOX) to multiple patients. In fact, the oxygen capacity of just one MODS-75 system is equivalent to 12 large high-pressure H cylinders. Furthermore, LOX costs less than Gaseous Oxygen and uses ALL of the oxygen volume, whereas Gaseous Oxygen cylinders only utilize 80% of their volume. In short, MODS are a cost-effective and space-conscious way to deliver oxygen to multiple patients in the event of a crisis.

Why do we need a MODS?

Since this product is relatively new to the market, it is sometimes hard for people to understand why their community or organization would need a multiple patient oxygen trailer. The MODS solves the problem of supplying large amounts of oxygen in a mass casuality incident. The MODs are sell contained, portable and housed in a small trailer. Understanding the questions and concerns you might have, we have put together a presentation to help explain the necessity and value in having a Mass Oxygen Distribution System.

Oxygen capacity of just one MODS-75 system is equivalent to 12 large high-pressure “H” cylinders.

Liquid oxygen costs less than Gaseous Oxygen and uses ALL of the oxygen volume (Gaseous Oxygen cylinders only utilize 80% of its volume).

Interfaces with Medlox 100-Foot Hose Reel Assembly and Patient Distribution Kit for quick setup and delivery to patients.

Five reasons to consider a MODS

1. MODS can carry more oxygen: MODS can store over 64,000 gaseous liters in liquid form. LOX then safely expands exponentially as it is warmed to a gaseous state. This allows the MODS to carry more than three-and-a-half times it’s volume in the same size container as a high-pressure oxygen tank. In addition, the MODS trailer is designed and outfitted with storage areas for additional EMS equipment.

2. MedLox’s “Nurse Tank” brings oxygen refilling to the field: With the separately towed Nurse Tank, triage personnel can safely refill the MODS oxygen delivery converter time and again onsite at long triage or remote hospital scenarios without having the burden to requisition and replenish heavy and multiple high-pressure oxygen tanks.

3. MODS are a safer form of oxygen delivery: Liquid Oxygen is stored at a very low pressure compared to the potentially volatile high-pressure gaseous oxygen tanks.

4. MODS are very maneuverable and flexible oxygen delivery systems: MODS can supply oxygen to multiple patients at once. With the portable PDK’s (which are small and lightweight oxygen supply control centers) and the ample and lengthy oxygen supply hoses, the MODS can reach isolated and tight surroundings patient locations.

5. MODS are a more practical form of oxygen delivery to multiple patients: Imagine a mass incident triage setup where 30 patients require oxygen therapy as part of their rescue… Your choice: More than 12 heavy, high-pressure oxygen “H” cylinder tanks littering and obstructing the triage center or one MODS protected in a trailer up to 100 feet away from the triage area with the ability to address 30 individual patient oxygen flow requirements for up to 2 hours. In addition, the more high-pressure oxygen delivery points you establish, the greater the number of oxygen delivery failure points you create.
