Accordingly, the actual gas flow rate may not conform exactly to the figures in the table. To keep insufflation safer, the UHI-4 controls the gas flow during the first 25 seconds after the flow starts. Therefore, the actual flow rate of the gas might not reach the maximum flow rate for up to 25 seconds.
