Importance

The importance of the wall-mounted Air Regulator lies in its role as the link between the central gas pipeline and the patient. It converts high pressure from wall pipes into a safe, regulated flow. By adhering to the British Standard, it ensures total compatibility with hospital infrastructures following the BS code, preventing gas leaks and providing a secure and stable therapeutic environment.

How to Use

Ensure the wall gas outlet is clean, then insert the regulator by pressing and rotating until it clicks into the BS outlet.

Connect the oxygen mask or delivery tubing to the lower outlet of the regulator.

Gradually open the flow valve and monitor the indicator ball within the tube until it reaches the desired level (L/min).

After use, close the valve and detach the regulator for routine cleaning and to inspect the integrity of the rubber seals.

Who is it Suitable For?

• Intensive Care Units (ICU) and Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU).
• Operating rooms and recovery areas utilizing British gas systems.
• Emergency departments and nursing wards in major hospitals and medical centers.
• Respiratory rehabilitation centers using medical air in their treatment protocols.

FAQs about Air Regulator

Can this regulator be used with standard oxygen cylinders?

This model is specifically designed for BS wall outlets and cannot be mounted directly onto cylinders without special adapters, as it relies on central pipeline pressure.

How do I verify the accuracy of the flowmeter?

The flowmeter features a high-precision indicator ball within a calibrated tube, factory-tested to ensure that the visible reading matches the actual flow delivered to the patient.

Does the regulator require periodic maintenance?

Yes, it is recommended to check the O-rings and clean the humidifier bottle regularly to prevent calcification or air outlet blockages and to ensure there are no leaks.
