ting and read flow meter.
by opening O2% knob and
read analyzer.
2.4.2 Changing Flow Settings
1
Adjust flow to new desired flow rate.
2.4.3 Changing Oxygen Settings
1
Adjust O2% knob to desired level and wait
for analyzer to equilibrate.Temporarily
disconnect patient circuit if necessary.
WARNING: Adjusting the oxygen setting too high at low flows may cause oxygen to
exit the air inlet port. Verify the direction of flow by placing your hand under the air filter to
feel for air escape.
