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 flow consumption
(for example lung ventilator with request of source flow 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.
•
When connecting any accessory to the flow outlet make sure that it is not
connected to the patient before operating the product.
•
Ensure the hose/humidifier is compatible with the flow outlet feature.
•
Push the hose onto the regulator flow outlet/outlet for humidifier.
•
Ensure the hose/humidifier is well engaged.
•
Ensure that the flow control knob is on the ZERO position.
•
Ensure that the accessory is connected to the flow 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 fire or
explosion arising from oxygen pressure shocks. Insufficient opening of the
cylinder valve could reduce actual flow delivered.
•
Set the flow control knob on the required one of the available flow rates.
•
Always ensure that the flow control knob has engaged and not placed
between two settings otherwise the flow selector will not deliver the correct
flow of medical gas.
•
Do not try to apply an excessive torque on the flow control knob when it stops
on the maximum flow position or in zero position.
•
The oxygen flow 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 direction to stop
position. Do not use excessive force.
•
Vent gas pressure from downstream equipment.
•
Reset flow control knob on the ZERO position when gas venting has ceased.
•
Disconnect the tube/humidifier from the flow outlet.
