Calculating operating time for CPAP therapy
Example:

consumption of 20 l/min:
12.3 Test leaktightness
Important for CPAP MODULE!
Never seal the CPAP valve completely during
operation. This may damage the pressure gauge.
1. Close the oxygen supply valve.
2. Switch on a module. This allows any residual
oxygen to escape and depressurizes the system.
3. Switch the module off again.
Operating time for CPAP therapy (min) =
