characteristics of the combination valve stated in appendix Nr. 1. To assure sufficient
performance (pressure and flow characteristics of the combination valve ) the medical
device should not be used if pressure indicator enters the red zone.
Sudden opening could result in a danger of fire or explosion arising from oxygen
pressure shocks. Insufficient opening of the shut-off valve could reduce actual flow
delivered.
If a pressure outlet as well as a flow outlet are part of the combination valve do not
use them simultaneously, especially if pressure in the cylinder is below 50 bar, in could
adversely affect the outlet parameters of the combination valve .

6.2.3 AFTER USE

Close shut-off valve (clockwise). Do not use excessive torque(max. closing torque is 5 Nm).
•
Vent pressure from the connected devices.
•
Disconnect all connected devices from user outlets.
•
Set flow control head on "0" (if included).
