1 - Inlet stem
The product is fitted to gas cylinder by a threaded inlet stem. The stem
can be taper threaded or parallel threaded and of different size depending
upon cylinder size and material.
2 - Shut-off valve
The combination valve is provided with a shut-off valve to isolate the gas
from the cylinder, from the other valve functions and ensure retention of
gas in the cylinder. It must be turned on during cylinder filling and patient
therapy
3 - Filling port
Filling port is provided for filling the gas cylinder. It includes a non-return
valve (NRV). The NRV means that special filling adaptors are required to
prevent depressurizing during the use of the product.
4 - Pressure gauge
Pressure gauge enables checking of the gas cylinder contents; it can
be rotated about its axis for easier reading of the cylinder contents. The
pressure gauge can be either active or non-active one.
•
active pressure gauge enables checking gas pressure at shut-off valve
in the OFF position
•
non-active pressure gauge enables checking gas pressure at shut-off
valve in the ON position only.
5 - ECON flow control head
Flow control head is used to control flow and pulse dosing of gas at
atmospheric pressure directly to the patient through the flow outlet (9).
Possible flow rates are equivalent to constant gas flow rates (l/min).
These flow rates are set by the manufacturer.
6 - Flow selector
Turning the flow selector enables selection of possible set flow rates that
are equivalent to constant flow rates in l/min.
7 - Reservoir
Enables gas collection before its supply to the patient.
8 - Membrane guard / membrane
Enables to activation of the valve at induced negative pressure and sub-
sequent gas supply to the patient.
9 - Outlet stem
Universal outlet stem is designed for connection of other accessories
(cannula, breathing mask etc.).
