Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (i.e., either custom or standard kits) needed for administering oxygen to patients from oxygen generators, canisters, and/or concentrators. Items in these kits usually include tubing, masks, and adapters; the kits may also include nasal cannulae and/or transtracheal catheters. The kits are frequently supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Oxygen administration procedure kits and trays are intended to supply oxygen in both chronic and acute patient care. They are used at home, in hospitals, and in other healthcare facilities.
