A nitric oxide delivery device is provided that can be formed as a module
that is insertable in a mating equipment bay in a gas delivery system
found in one location, removed and used in conjunction with a transport
gas delivery system when the patient is transported, and thereafter
inserted in the equipment bay of a gas delivery system located at a
second location. In a preferred embodiment, the device includes a housing
having an NO supply port, an NO delivery port, a flow sensor port, and a
conduit pneumatically connected to the NO supply port and the NO delivery
port. A selector valve is positioned in the conduit and selectively moves
between a first position wherein the NO supply port is pneumatically
connected to the NO delivery port and a second position wherein the NO
delivery port is pneumatically connected to a temporary supply of NO. The
housing further has a power supply port, a temporary power source and a
switch being selectively movable between a first position wherein power
is provided to the NO delivery device via the power supply port and a
second position wherein power is provided to the device from the
temporary power source.
