    What to do if there is no O or N2O flow in my Porter Medical Equipment?
    • J
      Jason VaughnAug 13, 2025
      If there's no flow of O or N2O when the ON/OFF switch is ON, and the knobs are set, check the following: * Ensure the O regulator in the tank room is turned ON. * Verify the machine is connected to the pipeline system via a wall outlet. * If using O cylinders, replace empty ones with full cylinders.

    Why is the patient not feeling the effects of gases with the Porter 2000 Medical Equipment?
    • B
      beth98Aug 17, 2025
      If the patient isn't feeling the effects of the gases, it might be due to the following reasons: * The outer mask may not be properly fit to the patient’s face. Adjust it so the inner mask is secure but the outer mask is slightly off the face. * The gas flows may not be meeting the patient’s requirements. Try readjusting the gas flows to achieve acceptable bag action.

      Nicole FrostAug 21, 2025
      If the bag is going flat during the procedure, consider these possible causes: * The gas flows might not be meeting the patient’s requirements. Readjust the gas flows to achieve acceptable bag action. * The outer mask may not be properly fit to the patient’s face. Ensure the inner mask is secure to the face, while the outer mask remains slightly off the face.

    • A
      anthonyjonesAug 25, 2025

    Why can't I get 9 1/2 L/min O flow with my Porter Medical Equipment?
    • M
      Marc SanchezAug 29, 2025
      If you cannot get 9 ½ L/min O flow with the concentration control knob OFF and the flow control knob full ON, the oxygen pressure setting might be low. Check the O regulator and ensure the O manifold pressure is at 50 PSIG ±2 PSIG. If it's not, call your Dealer for service.

    Why do both gas flows vary proportionally in my Porter Medical Equipment?
    • A
      Amber RodriguezSep 1, 2025
      If, with the N2O concentration set, both flows vary proportionally without a change in the flow setting, the O regulator might be varying the pipeline pressure. Check the O regulator to ensure the O manifold pressure is 50 PSIG ±2 PSIG. If it's not, call your Dealer for service.

    What to do if gas is leaking from the ON/OFF switch of my Porter 2000 Medical Equipment?
    • M
      Makayla TurnerSep 5, 2025
      If gas is leaking from the ON/OFF switch, it may be due to a nick or cut in the o’rings on the ON/OFF switch. Call your Dealer for service.

    What to do if meter flows N2O without O flow in Porter Medical Equipment?
    • C
      Cynthia SmithSep 9, 2025
      If the meter flows N2O without any O flow in the O tube, this indicates a failsafe failure. Take the equipment out of service and return it to Porter.
