51. An apparatus for making an oxygen delivery agent, comprising:
-
a first vessel containing a stabilizing material;
a second vessel containing a fluorinated compound;
means for mixing said stabilizing material and said fluorinated compound so as to form a mixture;
a supply of oxygen; and
means for introducing oxygen from said supply into said mixture so as to form an oxygen delivery agent. - View Dependent Claims (52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 113)
