    Uses compressed oxygen. Uses an oxygen-generating solid. This involves a chemical reaction between potassium superoxide with exhaled water and carbon dioxide. A chlorate candle has to be struck to start the device. To reduce pressure buildup from use, a pressure-relief valve with saliva trap is included.
