1. An apparatus, comprising:
an ampule;
a shuttle tube;
an inerting material configured to inert nitrogen dioxide;
a leak valve configured to couple the ampule to the inerting material when the shuttle tube is in a first position;
the ampule containing liquid dinitrogen tetroxide; and
the shuttle tube defining a reservoir, the ampule disposed in the reservoir, the shuttle tube configured to be moved between a first position in which the reservoir is fluidically coupled to the inerting material via the leak valve and a second position in which the reservoir is fluidically coupled to a patient delivery port.
