Regulator with threaded connector as pressure outlet shall be only an in-
tegral part of medical equipment. Do not use it for other purposes!
PRESSURE OUTLET II
• Ensure the counterpart is compatible with the pressure outlet features.
• Screw the counterpart.
• Check the counterpart is fully screwed.
When is pressure outlet used by medical product with high fl ow con-
EN
sumption (for example lung ventilator with request of source fl ow
100 l/min at minimal pressure 2,8 bar) check the required capacity
of source device with regulator pressure outlet performance listed in
appendix 1. To obtain enough performance of the regulator is recomended
replace cylinder when gauge reach the red area.
6.2.3. FLOW OUTLET CONNECTION
When connecting any accessory to the fl ow outlet make sure that it is not
connected to the patient before operating the product.
• Ensure the hose/humidifi er is compatible with the fl ow outlet feature.
• Push the hose onto the regulator fl ow outlet/outlet for humidifi er.
• Ensure the hose/humidifi er is well engaged.
6.2.4. USE OF PRODUCT THROUGH THE FLOW OUTLET FLOW
SETTING
• Ensure that the fl ow control knob is on the ZERO position.
• Ensure that the accessory is connected to the fl ow outlet.
• Slowly open the cylinder valve by turning the hand wheel in anticlockwise
direction approx. 1 to 1½ turns.
Sudden opening of the cylinder valve could result in a danger of fi re or
explosion arising from oxygen pressure shocks. Insu cient opening of the
cylinder valve could reduce actual fl ow delivered.
• Set the fl ow control knob on the required one of the available fl ow rates.
Always ensure that the fl ow control knob has engaged and not placed
between two settings otherwise the fl ow selector will not deliver the cor-
rect fl ow of medical gas.
Do not try to apply an excessive torque on the fl ow control knob when it
stops on the maximum fl ow position or in zero position.
The oxygen fl ow rate must be prescribed and administered by a clinically
trained user.
AFTER COMPLETION OF THE THERAPY
• Turn off the cylinder valve by turning the hand wheel in a clockwise direc-
tion to stop position. Do not use excessive force.
• Vent gas pressure from downstream equipment.
• Reset fl ow control knob on the ZERO position when gas venting has ceased.
• Disconnect the tube/humidifi er from the fl ow outlet.
