Proper Setting of Oxygen Flowmeter
To set the proper flow of supplemental oxygen, turn the flowmeter adjustment knob left or right
until the ball inside the flowmeter centers on the flow line number prescribed by your physician
(Figure 9).
To view the flowmeter at the proper angle, note that the back line and the front numbered line
m ust 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 ad just the flowmeter on your uni t. If you turn the
flowmeter adjustment knob clockwise, you will decrease and can shut off the flow
of oxygen from your unit. For your convenience, the flowmeter is marked in ½ lpm
increments from 1 to 5 lpm . For units with the pediatric flowmeter option, the
flowmeter is marked in 1/8 lpm increments for flow settings up to 2 lpm.
