SPECIAL NOTES

Principles of Operation

The oxygen conserving regulator is designed to be used with high pressure oxygen systems. It consists of a cylinder connection, cylinder contents gauge (if equipped), high to low pressure regulator, orifice plate and a conserving demand module. The regulator reduces the high pressure of the cylinder to the working pressure of the orifice plate. The orifice plate uses calibrated orifices to deliver a selected flow to the conserving demand module. The conserving demand module controls the pulse size and timing to the patient. It supplies a pulse of oxygen at the beginning of each breath. This reduces the oxygen demand on the system and limits the drying of the airways. The flow is determined by setting the flow control knob to the prescribed flow. The oxygen is supplied to the patient though the cannula.

DANGER

DO NOT SMOKE while using this device. Keep all matches, lit cigarettes or other sources of ignition out of the room in which this product is located and away from where oxygen is being delivered.

NO SMOKING signs should be prominently displayed. Textiles and other materials that normally would not burn are easily ignited and burn with great intensity in oxygen enriched air. Failure to observe this warning can result in severe fire, property damage and cause physical injury or death.
