PAR. 12
The PRESSURE REDUCER can be connected to other medical devices to check oxygen delivery,
such as:
• Flow meter, Hose connection, Hose connection with diaphragm 6 Nl/min, Hose connection
with diaphragm 10 Nl/min, Hose connection with diaphragm 15 Nl/min, Flow meter with
humidifier, Flow meter, Couplers, Terminal units, etc...
For the connection of the reducer to other medical devices the user has to comply with the following
instructions:
e) Connect the pressure reducer only to medical devices with the CE marking (93/42/EC).
f) Use a dynamometric wrench for clamping.
 The torque value to clamp a coupler, hose connection or diaphragm to the reducer body must
be higher than or equal to 20 Nm.
 The torque value to connect manometers or flow meters to the reducer body must be higher
than or equal to 20 Nm.
g) Carry out checks suggested by the manufacturer on every device before connecting to the
reducer.
h) Check correct operation after connection.

Every 6 months check the outlet pressure using a sample manometer with a 12 bar (1.200 kPa)
full scale to be connected to the reducer outlet.
The manometer has to show a steady closing pressure of (4 to 5) bar =(400 to 500)kPa for 5
minutes.
IF PRESSURE INDICATED ON THE MANOMETER IS HIGHER, DO NOT USE THE REDUCER
