A portable non-pressurized, non-explosive and non-flammable emergency oxygen generator — particularly suitable for marine use, will go into production this spring, OX-GEN Flexible Life Systems, Inc., has announced. The OX-GEN generator, which recently received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, produces life-saving 99.97 percent pure oxygen in just seconds. “These units can be used onboard ships and in firefighting, military operations, mines and others places where pressurized oxygen is unsafe because of the potential fire danger,” said Frank Fosella, chairman and president of OX-GEN. “They also will provide a significant extra margin of safety in aircraft and hospitals. When our units are exposed to an open flame, they melt rather than explode.
