Connecting to Oxygen Sources
The CCV has three ports for source oxygen: the DISS port, reservoir
barb, and low pressure barb. In general, the following rules should be
observed:
•
Sources delivering 10+ LPM
may be connected directly to the DISS
port.
•
Sources delivering less than 10 LPM
should be connected via the
reservoir.
•
The low pressure barb should be used only during transport.
High Flow Sources
Any source capable of delivering over 10
LPM of oxygen may be connected directly to
the DISS port on the CCV via the green
oxygen hose, provided the source is
regulated to below the maximum allowable
pressure (6 Bar or 87 psi). The green hose can be attached directly to a
cylinder regulator or, using the provided adapter, to a pipeline system.
WARNING:
Verify that there are no noticeable leaks after connection
to the 3.4 Bar (344 kPa) (50 psi) Medical O
2
or Medical Air source.
Low Flow Sources
The reservoir should be employed whenever the
oxygen source to be used delivers less than 10
LPM, such as a flowmeter or concentrator. While
the barb allows for connection to any oxygen
source using generic silicone tubing, the reservoir
barb should only be used with high-pressure
sources in emergency cases as increased pressure
could cause the hose to become disconnected from the barb, posing a
danger to those nearby.
NOTE: In order to use the reservoir barb, the provided oxygen hose
must be connected between the reservoir outlet and the CCV’s DISS
port. See USING THE CCV WITH A CONCENTRATOR OR FLOWMETER
for more information.
