Oxygen regulators are intended for the administration of oxygen to patients that are deemed by a physician to need increased oxygen levels to improve or stabilize their breathing conditions. It is a pressure-reducing device that lowers the pressure of the oxygen from a cylinder to a level that can safely be used.
The use of the medical oxygen regulator device should follow the following rules:
1.Oxygen regulator device should be opened slowly.
When the oxygen cylinder is vented or the medical oxygen regulator device is opened, the action must be slow. If the valve is opened too fast, the temperature of the gas in the working part of the medical oxygen regulator is greatly increased due to the adiabatic compression, which may make the parts made of organic materials such as rubber packing, rubber film fibrous gasket on fire and burn out, and can make the medical oxygen regulator completely burn out. In addition, due to the discharge of too fast generated electrostatic spark and the medical oxygen regulator oil, etc., it will also cause fire and burn out the medical oxygen pressure regulator parts.
2.Precautions before installation
Before installation of the medical oxygen pressure regulator, the valve should be slightly tapped to blow out dirt to prevent dust and moisture from getting into the medical oxygen pressure regulator. When opening the gas cylinder valve, the cylinder valve outlet should not be aimed at the operator or others to prevent the high-pressure gas from bursting out suddenly and injuring people. The connection between the gas outlet of the medical oxygen pressure regulator and the gas rubber pipe must be tightened with the fireproof iron wire or clamp; Prevent the risk of detaching after venting.
3.Precautions when loading and unloading
When loading and unloading the pressure reducer, attention must be paid to prevent the pipe joint from being threaded to prevent it from slipping out due to loose screwing. In the process of work must pay attention to observe the pressure of the pressure gauge. Stop working should first loosen the pressure regulating screw of the oxygen pressure regulator, then close the oxygen cylinder valve, and the oxygen pressure regulator in the gas slowly out, in this way, can protect the spring and decompression valve from damage. Remove the oxygen pressure regulator from the cylinder after work and store it properly.
4.Regular maintenance and check
The medical oxygen pressure regulator must be regularly repaired, and the pressure gauge must be regularly checked. This is to ensure the reliability of the regulator and the accuracy of the gauge readings. In the use of such as found that the oxygen pressure regulator leakage phenomenon, pressure needle action is not working, should be timely maintenance.
5.Oxygen pressure regulator freeze treatment
If the oxygen pressure regulator is found to be frozen during use, it should be thawed by hot water or steam. It should never be baked by flame or red iron. After the oxygen pressure regulator is heated, the residual moisture must be blown off.
6.The oxygen pressure regulator must be kept clean
No grease or dirt on the regulator. If there is grease, it must be wiped clean before use.
7.The pressure gauge for all kinds of gases shall not be replaced
For example, the pressure-relief device for oxygen shall not be used in acetylene, LPG, and other systems.
