2.2 Connecting to the sleeved outlet:
a.
Remove the cap and connect the desired equipment to
the sleeved outlet (i.e. hose or suction equipment) and
ensure the fitting is sufficiently hand tightened (refer Fig
7 & 8).
b.
Turn the ON/OFF Valve anti clockwise to show the
green “I” in the portal on top of the valve (refer Fig 5).
c.
Use the attached equipment as required for proper
dispensation of medical oxygen. The outlet pressure
flow rate of the sleeved index outlet is at least 50 l/min
whilst the contents are within the “yellow” and “green”
coloured sections of the pressure gauge.
d.
When therapy has concluded, turn off the attached
equipment.
e.
Turn the ON/OFF valve clockwise showing the red “O”
in the portal.
f.
When required remove the attached equipment from
the sleeved outlet and replace the cap.
g.
When attaching a suction unit to a PRE cylinder, the use
of a small extension piece will be required (refer Fig 9).
Extension pieces should not be fitted to PRC and
PR cylinders as this will cause the cylinder to become
unstable.
h.
When a venturi suction unit (or similar) is attached to the
sleeve outlet, the pressure gauge on the Presence™ PR,
PRC and PRE may be obscured. A close up view of the
pressure gauge (such as looking under and around the
device) may be required to ensure a clear viewing.

Air Liquide Healthcare.
