Flowmeter unit
The intended use for the Flowmeter unit is to
provide oxygen for patient therapy.
Outlet flow is regulated by the flowmeter
regulating valve (4). Turning the knob
clockwise decreases the flow, and turning it
counter-clockwise increases the flow up to its
maximum value. The current flow is indicated
on the flowmeter tube when the center of the
ball is aligned with the printed scale.
With the tube adapter attached, the flowmeter
outlet can be connected to 4, 6 and 8 mm
tubings (0.16 in., 0.24 in. and 32 in. resp.)
Testing the Flowmeter
Test the Flowmeter unit before use, e.g. during
the System checkout. Turn on the O
2
flow
using the regulatory valve and ensure that
maximum flow can be reached, i.e. the
flowmeter ball reaches the top of the
flowmeter tube.
