What to do if there is no flow at the oxygen outlet of my CAIRE Medical Equipment?

If there's no flow at the oxygen outlet, first check if the reservoir is empty by looking at the contents indicator/level gauge and fill it if needed. Ensure the flow control knob is not in the off ('0') position. Also, make sure the nasal cannula isn't kinked or disconnected and that the vent valve is fully closed. Check for any leaks in the system. If the relief valve is open, refer to the corrective actions for excessive venting. Clean or replace the FCV inlet filter screen if obstructed. Finally, inspect the warming coils and withdrawal tubes for blockages and replace if necessary. If none of these steps work, the FCV may be faulty and require replacement.
