B FLOW CONTROL HEAD
Diff erent fl ows can be selected by the fl ow control knob on the fl ow head.
Depending on product variant, the fl ow control head is fi tted with a stop
function in between maximum fl ow and zero position.
C USER OUTLET
The "fl ow outlet" user connection is the outlet from the fl ow control head
normally with a push on hose fi tting (hose nipple) or threaded (for humidi-
fi er).
This outlet is for supplying a gas fl ow (l/min) at atmospheric pressure di-
rectly to a patient, e.g. through a cannula or a facemask.
The product is not fi tted with a pressure relief valve. The user must en-
sure that an over pressure protection is in place on the medical gas sup-
ply pipeline (see requirement of ISO 7396-1) or on medical regulator (see
requirement of ISO 10524-1, 3).
The fl ow outlet shall not be use for driving any medical device.
Note also that products colour (specially fl ow control knob) might not fol-
low any gas colour coding.
