Cylinder
Pressure
Gauges
Each cylinder gas circuit has a cylinder pressure gauge, located at the
bottom of the flowmeter panel on the front of the machine (see the
Flowmeter and Pressure Gauge Assembly figure shown earlier in this
section.) Each gauge is labeled and color-coded on the flowmeter housing
for its respective gas. When a cylinder valve is open, the pressure gauge
indicates the cylinder gas pressure. The dial is marked with concentric
scales for psi and kPa.
For a nonliquefied gas such as oxygen, the indicated pressure is
proportional to the gas content of the cylinder. For a liquefied gas such as
nitrous oxide, the gauge indicates the vapor pressure of the liquefied gas in
the cylinder. This pressure remains constant until all of the liquid in the
cylinder is vaporized. When the liquid is vaporized, the cylinder pressure
decreases proportionally as gas is removed from the cylinder.

Protection
Device
(OFPD)
The oxygen failure protection device (OFPD) is a pneumatically operated
valve that protects the patient if a partial or complete loss of oxygen
pressure occurs. The valves are located in the internal supply lines for all
gases except oxygen. The gas pressure in the oxygen supply line controls
the valves. When the oxygen pressure is adequate, the valves remain open
with an unrestricted gas flow. Oxygen pressure loss causes the valves to
close proportionally to the loss of pressure. As a result, OFPD-controlled
gases can be restricted or shut down in response to loss of oxygen pressure.
Gas flow reductions are indicated on the flowmeter. When the oxygen
supply from the pipeline or reserve cylinders drops below about 37 psi, the
red O

SUPPLY PRESSURE indicator light on the main switch panel
lights, the
LO O2 SUPPLY
message appears on the monitor, and a
continuous audible alarm sounds.
If only one source of oxygen supply pressure (either reserve cylinders or
pipeline) fails and the other source maintains proper supply pressure
within the machine's oxygen supply lines, the OFPD and LOW O2
SUPPLY alarm are not activated.
Flowmeters
The flowmeters are located directly above their corresponding flow control
valves. They indicate the delivered flow rate of each gas in the fresh gas
mixture. Dual-tapered flowmeter tubes are used for oxygen, nitrous oxide,
and air. All flowmeters are labeled at the lower end of the flowtube. A
typical flowmeter arrangement appears in the Flowmeter and Pressure
Gauge Assembly figure shown earlier in this section.
Each flowmeter has a float indicator. To determine the flow rate, read the
flowmeter scale at the center of the float.
Minimum
Oxygen Flow
The oxygen dispensing system has a calibrated bypass flow of 150 ±50 ml/
min (at 50 psi pipeline pressure), which delivers this volume of oxygen
even if the oxygen flow control valve is fully closed.
