7. General Technical Description: The flowmeter provides accurate control of the flow of oxygen or air for medical purposes in the range of 0 to 85 l / min (depending on the model). A precision-made rotating ball rises inside a transparent measuring tube. A scale is printed on the measuring tube, on which the speed of the gas flow is displayed in liters per minute (l / min).
8. Operation Instructions: WARNING Safety instructions for avoiding accidents while using an oxygen sampling device: It is the responsibility of the user to avoid the enrichment of the room or ambient air with a volume fraction> 21% O2. Connection to the gas supply Before use, visually check both the flowmeter and hose (if fitted) for any damage or contamination.
During Use Continue to monitor the level of gas flow and the contents level of the cylinder (if applicable) during the procedure or therapy and be aware that the supply tubing and hose (if applicable) may be a trip hazard. After Use If the supply is from a gas cylinder, close the cylinder valve and disconnect the flowmeter when therapy is no longer required.
Maintenance: Interim Inspection The flowmeter should be regularly cleaned, inspected for damage and checked for performance. The frequency of inspection and performance checks depends upon usage. As a guideline, if the flowmeter is used daily this may need to be performed every six months; if used infrequently an annual check may be sufficient.
Troubleshooting: Failure Possible Cause Solution of the Problem Flowmeter is not Check gas supply; check that the gas-specific probe is No gas flow connected properly correctly connected Gas cylinder empty Replace gas cylinder Medical gas terminal unit Seek advice from someone authorised to operate the of a pipeline system is not isolation valves of the medical gas pipeline system connected / active...
