6.1.4. Functional checks before use
•
Ensure the flow control knob is on the "ZERO" position.
• Ensure the cylinder valve is open – in the "ON" position.
•
Check that the gauge indicates pressure/contents. If the pointer reaches
the red area send the cylinder for the filling
•
For regulators fitted with a flow-metering device check that there is gas
flow at each setting (for instance, by listening for the sound of gas flow or
checking presence of bubbles in a humidifier).
•
Turn off the shut off cylinder valve by turning the hand wheel in a clock-
wise direction to the stop position. Do not use excessive force.
•
Reset the flow control knob to on the "ZERO" position once the gas flow
stops and the regulator is vented..
•
For regulators fitted with a pressure outlet, ensure it is functional by con-
necting and disconnecting a male QC probe.
6.2. USER OUTLET(S) CONNECTION & USE
6.2.1. List of recognised accessories
To be connected to the flow outlet:
Humidifiers, breathing masks or cannulas, gas savers, nebulizers.
To be connected to the pressure outlet:
Flexible hoses, flow meters, Venturi suction ejectors.
At regulators fitted with pressure outlet together with ejector outlet
don´t use quick coupler and ejector outlet in the same time. Especially
when inlet pressure is bellow 50 bar it may negatively affect performance
of the regulator.
Before connecting any accessory or medical device to the regulator, al-
ways check that it is fully compatible with the product connection fea-
tures & the product performances.
6.2.2. Pressure outlet connection
Pressure outlet I
•
Ensure the male quick coupler is compatible with the pressure outlet
feature.
•
Connect the male quick coupler.
•
Check if the male quick coupler is fully engaged.
Regulator with threaded connector as pressure outlet shall be only an
integral part of medical equipment. Do not use it for other purposes!
