Product Overview
Oxygen Flow Regulator Usage Information:
Oxygen Flow Regulators are pressure reducing devices which lowers oxygen pressure from a cylinder, to levels that can be safely used by the end user.
Oxygen flow Regulators are intended for the administration of oxygen to patients who need increased oxygen levels to improve their breathing conditions. In addition, some models may be used in emergency situations.
How to set up for CGA 870 connection:
- Inspect the cylinder following the instructions of your gas supplier. Be sure to purge the cylinder valve seat of debris.
- Inspect the regulator for oil or grease. If these are visible, DO NOT use the regulator.
- Be sure the sealing washer is in place on the inlet to the regulator.
- Slip the yoke over the cylinder post and fit the pins into the holes on the cylinder valve. The pins should fit easily into these holes.
- Turn the T-Handle clockwise until the screw point is seated in the dimple on the cylinder valve. Be sure the regulator is tightened securely onto the cylinder.
- Attach the oxygen supply tubing to the barb or DISS outlet of the regulator.
How to set up for CGA 540 connection
- Inspect the cylinder following the instructions of your gas supplier. Be sure to purge the cylinder valve seat of debris.
- Inspect the regulator for oil or grease. If these are visible, DO NOT use the regulator.
- Gently thread the large nut on the regulator onto the connection on the cylinder valve.
- Tighten the nut with a wrench until snug.
- Attach the oxygen supply tubing to the barb or DISS outlet of the regulator.
How to use a Oxygen Flow Regulator
- Be sure the regulator is in the "off" position by rotating the knob counterclockwise to the "0" position.
- For safety, be sure you are not directly in front of or behind the regulator when opening the cylinder valve.
- SLOWLY turn the cylinder valve (counterclockwise) about one full turn.
- If you can hear a hissing sound, there is a leak in the system. Turn the cylinder off and turn the regulator on to relieve any built up pressure. Try tightening the regulator to the cylinder and opening the cylinder again. If this does not help, shut the system down again and contact a service representative. NEVER attempt to repair a regulator or cylinder yourself.
- Adjust the flow rate setting by turning the knob clockwise until the prescribed setting shows through the window.
- If the cylinder pressure falls below 300 PSI, you should exchange the cylinder for a full one.
- Use only on breathing patients.
- Do not smoke in an area where oxygen is in use
