When vital organs are starved of oxygen during a medical emergency, irreparable tissue damage can occur within 3 min.    In the past, oxygen has only been available in compressed gas cylinders so there was no easy way to make it accessible.
    A new medical device, called the OxySure, may change all that. The key to its success is that the oxygen source is an inert powder in a cartridge that, when activated, provides 99.9 percent medically pure oxygen.
    "It's extremely safe and easy to use. And it's affordable," says Henry McDonald at the Frisco, Texas, company. "We've developed this so the lay person can render aid to a victim in need before 911 personnel arriving at the scene."
    Approved by the FDA, OxySure releases 6 liters of oxygen per minute for a minimum of 15 min.
    OxySure is helpful for a variety of emergency situations: stroke, heart attack, asthma, seizures and trauma, for example. People can use it on their own in some instances because it's so simple - plug the mask into the unit, turn the knob and place the mask over the nose.
    The relatively new product has many testimonials from people who feel that OxySure saved their lives - for example a student who went into respiratory arrest at a school and a high school baseball player who suddenly passed out during indoor batting practice.
    McDonald carries one in his vehicle when he attends his sons' sporting events, and he takes it along when he goes hunting. His 77-year-old mother has one next to her recliner. Other relatives who live far away from emergency help also have OxySure.
    "It's good for people who live in rural areas," McDonald says. "If something happens to a loved one, oxygen gives them a fighting chance."
    At $349, the OxySure is affordable insurance for individuals, schools, senior centers, community centers, churches or businesses. Other accessories such as adult and child masks, and a wall-mounted case to store the unit in public places, are also available. The cartridges are good for 2 years and can be disposed in the trash after they are activated. Replacement cartridges sell for $149.
    A video on the OxySure website shows how it works. The company is setting up distributorships worldwide.
