Smarter Oxygen Therapy Starts Here: FreeO2 by Southmedic Inc. Joins the Innovation Accelerator Program

Southmedic

We are proud to welcome
FreeO2 by Southmedic Inc. into HealthPRO Canada’s Innovation Accelerator Program, now available under a new pricing agreement. 

What It Is 

FreeO2 is an automated, closed-loop oxygen titration system that continuously monitors patient oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and dynamically adjusts oxygen flow between 0 and 20 L/min. Designed for both pediatric and adult patients, the device ensures that each patient receives the exact amount of oxygen they need. 

Why It Matters 

Manual oxygen titration can result in over or under-treatment, leading to hypoxemia, hyperoxia, and extended hospital stays. FreeO2 eliminates this variability with continuous SpO₂ monitoring and automated weaning, helping clinicians deliver safer and more personalized oxygen therapy. 

At a Glance – Key Benefits: 

  • Precision Titration: Continuously adjusts oxygen flow based on real-time SpO₂ 
  • Automated Weaning: Supports recovery by reducing unnecessary oxygen dependence 
  • Improved Outcomes: Shortens hospital stays for COPD patients by up to 29 percent 
  • Lower Costs: Reduces cost of care per COPD patient by up to 21 percent 
  • Emergency Efficiency: Reduces ICU transfers and complications in acute respiratory distress cases
