The use of the BPR Medical oxygen regulators for gases other than compressed oxygen
is expressly prohibited.
Never permit compressed medical gases to enter a regulator suddenly. Always open the
cylinder valve slowly.
Never use medical gases from a cylinder without reducing the pressure through a suitable
regulator intended for that gas.
Always close the cylinder valve when the regulator is not in use.
Never use oxygen as a pressure medium to purge obstructed pipelines or equipment,
operate pneumatic tools or to build up any pressure in tanks.
Never install a pin index regulator Dialflow Regulator with more than one yoke seal
between the valve and the regulator. Before attaching the regulator, verify that the post
valve is not already fitted with a yoke seal.
Ensure that you have the correct regulator for the type of cylinder you are intending to
use. Never attempt to fit a regulator to an incompatible cylinder.
Ensure that the threaded fittings or indexing pins on the regulator are properly mated and
tightened before opening the cylinder valve.
Do not stand in front of a regulator outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
Before removing a regulator from a cylinder, fully close the cylinder valve and release all
gas from the regulator.
Secure cylinders to a wall, stand or cart.
Do not use or store oxygen equipment near excessive heat (>50 °C or 125 °F) or open
flame.
Only appropriately trained personnel working in controlled conditions must perform
disassembly, assembly and testing of regulators and flowmeters.
Dialflow Regulators are not MRI compatible.
Flowmeters may be affected if the cylinder pressure is other than stated in the
specifications.
The threaded bull nose cylinder connection for medical oxygen and medical air may be
the same, ensure that you have the correct cylinder for the application. This regulator is
only intended for use with oxygen.
The holes in the side of the body of the device are for venting gas in the event that the
relief valve is activated. Do not obstruct these holes or interfere with the relief valve in
any way.
These regulators are designed for use for cylinder pressures up to 20 000 kPa
(3000 psi/200 bar). Do not attempt to connect BPR regulators to cylinders having fill
pressures in excess of this value.
Do not submerge the device in any fluid. Ensure that no fluid is allowed to enter the inlet
valve or the vent holes.
Ensure the device is not set between flow settings. If set between flow settings failure to
provide therapy may occur. Display of flow value does not indicate flow is occurring.
2.2. Cautions!
Device performance may be affected if it is stored or transported in temperature outside of
the range -20 °C to +60 °C (-4 °F to +140 °F).
The Dialflow Regulator is not suitable for autoclaving.
