Why can't I get 9 1/2 L/min O flow with my Porter Medical Equipment?
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?
