ii) Gas Cylinders
Lightweight aluminium compressed gas cylinders are available from Pneupac
®
for use with
portable ventilators. The 'D' sized version is suitable for use with the Instant Action Case,
but it is flat based which permits free standing use also.
(iii) Cylinder Regulators
The Pneupac
®
lightweight aluminium regulator is designed to reduce the pressure of high
pressure gas cylinders from 137-200 x100kPa (137-200 bar) to 400kPa (4 bar) as required
by the babyPAC ventilator. It will deliver flow in excess of 60 L/min at this nominal
pressure. Pin index or other standard inlet connectors are available for air or oxygen. The
regulator is equipped with a protected contents gauge and a gas specific quick-release outlet
connector which accepts the BS probe on the babyPAC input hose.
For incubator applications it is recommended that brass bodied oxygen regulators are
utilised.
