Proper Setting of Oxygen Flow meter
To set the proper flow of supplemental oxygen, turn the flow meter adjustment knob left or right
until the ball inside the flow meter centers on the flow line number prescribed by your physician
(Figure 9).
To view the flow meter at the proper angle, note that the back line and the front numbered line
must give the appearance of just one line.
It is very important to follow the prescribed level of oxygen. Do not increase or
decrease the flow until you first consult your physician.
Figure 9
Normally, you should not need to adjust the flow meter on your unit. If you turn the
flow meter adjustment knob clockwise, you will decrease and can shut off the flow
of oxygen from your unit. For your convenience, the flow meter is marked in ½
lpm increments from 1 to 5 lpm. For units with the pediatric flow meter option, the
flow meter is marked in 1/8 lpm increments for flow settings up to 2 lpm.
