WARNING:
External gas supplies may range from 40 to 65 psi line pressure.
Follow safe connection
protocol in this order:
Connect external gas supply hoses to DISS (Diameter Indexed
Safety System) fittings of Flowmeter or Nitronox (O2 first);
then connect
to external
supply source. Do not disconnect with supply line pressurized. Disconnect at supply
source first, per appropriate safe protocol.
WARNING:
During any power outage, remember to turn OFF the flowmeter and manually turn OFF the
cylinder valves (or external supplies). With centralized, electrically powered gas systems, if
gas was flowing when the power went out and the flowmeter is left ON, gas will be flowing
when the power is restored.
CAUTION:
Always use clean, dry medical grade gases. Introduction of moisture or other contaminants
into the system and flowmeter device may result in defective operation.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to repair, alter or calibrate the system or device (except as directed in Porter
User’s Manuals). Unauthorized repair, alteration or misuse of the Flowmeter or Nitronox device
is likely to adversely affect the performance and will void the warranty.
CAUTION:
Always lock casters in place when 2 Cylinder Mobile Cart is not being transported to
prevent cart from moving during use or maintenance. Protect against tip over and
potential damage to high pressure gas cylinders. A Loaded Mobile Cart must return to
vertical when tipped 10°. Do not roll cart aggressively. For hardware protection, follow
Regulator Assembly configuration and location of nitrous oxide cylinder within Cylinder
Holder as described in Proper Attachment of Gas Cylinders.
CAUTION:
Never oil or grease any part of this system (minimize fire or explosion potential).
INTENDED USE:
Flowmeter or Nitronox for a nitrous oxide & oxygen delivery system:
The device is intended for patient use and delivers a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen gases
for a procedure in a medical healthcare setting by trained medical personnel. Porter Instrument
recommends the user be thoroughly familiar with the use of Nitrous Oxide - Oxygen delivery for
patient analgesia and be properly trained in its administration prior to using this product.
INTENDED USE: (Accessory)
A nitrous oxide & oxygen delivery system with Mobile Cart:
The Porter 2-
Cylinder Mobile Cart is for use with one “E” cylinder of O2 and one “E” cylinder of
N2O, or two cylinders of N2O when using other O2 gas supply. The two pressure gauges reflect
cylinder pressure only. When the gas supply is opened, gas will flow through the portable
regulatory assembly and be regulated down to 53 PSIG at the output of the regulators, out through
the hoses to the Flowmeter or Nitronox device. A check valve within the N2O regulator assembly
assists to minimize trapped gas venting out into the room after procedures are completed. Each
Mobile Cart has a fixed 44" height (w/o Flowmeter or Nitronox attached) for use or storage.
