  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.

  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.

Why can't I get 9 1/2 L/min O flow with my Porter 3000 Medical Equipment?
- C
  Cheryl FergusonAug 28, 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?
- M
  Morgan LewisSep 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.

  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.
