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 3000?
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.

Why can't I get 9 1/2 L/min O flow with my Porter 3000 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?
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.
