Sudden opening of the cylinder valve could cause danger of fire or ex
plosion arising from oxygen pressure shock. Insufficient opening of the
cylinder valve could reduce actual flow delivered.
The oxygen flow rate must be prescribed and administered by a clinically
trained user.
Use of the product pressure outlet
•
Ensure that the flow control knob is in the ZERO position (only for pro
ucts with flow measuring devices).
•
Ensure that the accessory IS NOT connected to the pressure outlet.
