Routine cleaning with certain disinfectants or liquid sterilizing agents may
⚠
cause deterioration and cracking of the plastic components, ultimately leading
to equipment failure and possible patient or operator injury. Therefore,
periodic visual inspection of these parts is extremely important.
The Lo-Flo 3.5 flowmeter is not to be used on patients requiring more
⚠
than 3.5 L/min oxygen.
The Lo-Flo 3.5 flowmeter is not for resuscitation. 5 L/min max.
⚠
Do not connect flowmeter to supply pressures in excess of 72.5 psi
⚠
(5 bar). Excess supply pressure can cause ports to be expelled and
injury may occur.
Never mix adapters of different gases or vacuum. Cross connection
⚠
can result in serious patient injury or damage to equipment.
The flowmeter is calibrated using the gas supply pressure shown on the
⚠
product at a temperature of 21°C (70°F). Varying pressure, temperature or
both will reduce accuracy.
When changing probes or connectors for service replacement, make
⚠
sure never to mix adapters of different gases or vacuum. Cross
connection can result in serious patient injury or damage to the equipment.
After changing probes or connectors for service replacement, verify that
⚠
there are no leaks.
Prior to any servicing, disconnect the flowmeter from the gas supply.
⚠
Make sure the inlet adapter is properly seated in the flowmeter should.
⚠
If only the adapter threads are inside the shroud inlet hole, cracking and
leakage may occur under pressure.
