In case of storage at a temperature below -20 °C, d o not operate the reg-
ulator until it has been allowed to increase its temperature to a minimum
of -20 °C.
At regulators intended for use with mixture of medical gases O2+N2O is
lower operation temperature limit +5°C. During normal use the ow out-
let and pressure outlet will sometimes have a frosty appearance. This is
a normal physical reaction in the valve, due to that the gas is going from
high pressure to low pressure (Joule Thompson eect). Ensure that all
equipment that is connected to the valve by at least a 2 metre hose.
PERSONNEL INSTRUCTIONS AND TRAINING

Typical conguration of MediSelect®II
regulator
A - Inlet stem
Regulator is tted to the medical cylinder valve by mean of an inlet stem.
The stem can be bull nose type (male thread), nut type (female thread) or
pin index type. The inlet stem includes a lter.
B - Inlet pressure indicator or sensor
The regulator is tted with a pressure indicator or sensor which is intended
for cylinder gas content indication only, not for measuring purposes. The
pressure indicator or sensor can be equipped with output of electric signal.
The connection of pressure indicator with output of electric signal must be
carried out by trained personnel in accordance with national regulations
pertaining to the electric device and standard EN ISO 7396-1.
Output of electric signal shall be connected only to device which is in ac-
cordance with standard EN ISO 60601-1 and 60601-1-2.
C, D, E – Flow-metering device and ow outlet
GCE regulators can be supplied with a ow-metering device - ow control
head “C” or owmeter “D”. This function is used to supply a gas ow (l/min)
at atmospheric pressure directly to the patient through the ow outlet “E”,
e.g. through a cannula or a facemask.
The ow outlet “E” can be hose nipple (for cannula or mask) or outlet with
thread (for humidier).
5.

EN
5/60
F - Pressure outlet
The regulator may be tted with a pressure outlet.The pressure outlet is the
outlet directly from the low-pressure chamber. Two types of the pressure
outlet can be used:
Pressure outlet I - is tted with a gas specic medical quick connector also
called “quick coupler” . The user can connect another piece of equipment
to this outlet with a gas specic male probe. The quick connector self seals
when the male probe is disconnected. This outlet is for supplying gas at a
controlled pressure to power medical devices, e.g. medical ventilator.
Pressure outlet II – is tted with a threaded connector. The regulator with
this type of pressure outlet shall be only an integral part of a medical equip-
ment (e.g. emergency ventilators, anaesthesia devices, etc.)
If the regulator is tted with two pressure outlets, do not use both of
them at the same time. If you use both of them in the same time the per-
formance of the regulator will not be according to specication (see ap-
pendix 1) !!!
Note also that the product colour (especially ow control knob) might
not be gas specic colour coded.
OPERATIONS
6.1. BEFORE USE
6.1.1. Visual Inspection before use
• Check if there is visible external damage to the product (including prod-
uct labels and marking) and on the gas cylinder. If it shows signs of exter-
nal damages, remove it from service and identify its status.
• Visually check if the product or the medical gas cylinder is contaminated;
if needed, for the regulator, use the cleaning procedure detailed in this
section (if required for the cylinder, refer to the gas cylinder manufacturer
cleaning recommendation).
• Check that the total life time of the product and the gas cylinder has not
been exceeded, (refer to GCE or owner’s date coding system). If life time
has been exceeded, remove the product (or the gas cylinder) from service
& suitably identify its status.
• Ensure that the product inlet stem is compatible with the medical cylin-
der valve (gas/ thread type).
• Check the presence & the integrity of inlet stem seals / correct size of seal.
Always make sure the inlet stem o-ring is in good status, without damage.
Remove caps from inlet and/or ow outlet. Keep caps in a safe place for
reuse during transport or storage.
The product is dedicated only for use with the gas specied on its label-
ling. Never try to use for another gas.

6.1.2. Fitting to medical cylinder valve
• Secure the gas cylinder stand.
Screw connection (bull nose or nut type)
• Connection equipped with rubber sealing - tighten by hand!
• Connection equipped with metal to metal sealing or plastic sealing -
tighten by means of a torque wrench (max. tightening torque is 50Nm).
• Turn the regulator into the correct position for use and tighten the nut by
hand - do not use tools.
Pin index connection
• Position the pin-index over the cylinder valve with the pin(s) on the pres-
sure regulator pointing towards the cylinder valve connector holes on
the cylinder valve.
• Press the regulator inlet connection pins into the cylinder valve connec-
tor holes - do not use force, otherwise the pins or holes may be damaged.
• Tighten the screw on the regulator onto the cylinder valve connector via
the T-bar handle. Do not use tools.
• Position the equipment so that the regulator user outlets point away
from personnel or patient.
Fitting the regulator with too high a torque to the cylinder valve may re-
sult in damage.
During tting to the cylinder valve, do not apply torque/load to any other
parts of the product.
6.1.3. Leakage check before use
• For regulators tted with a ow-metering device, set the ow control
knob on the “ZERO” position - Ensure the ow control knob engages cor-
rectly.
• Open the cylinder valve slowly by turning the hand wheel in anticlock-
wise direction approx 1 to 1½ turns.
Sudden opening of the cylinder valve could result in a danger of re or
explosion arising from oxygen pressure shocks. Insucient opening of
the cylinder valve could reduce actual ow delivered.
• Perform visual and audible check for possible leakages:
• regulator inlet connection to cylinder valve
• pressure indicator/sensor to regulator body
• pressure relief valve vent hole(s)
• owmeter (if any)
• Turn o the cylinder valve by turning the hand wheel in an clockwise di-
rection to stop position. Do not use excessive force.
If any leakage is detected, use the procedure in chapter 6.3 and return
the product to GCE for service.

EN
7/60
6.1.4. Functional checks before use
• Ensure the ow control knob is on the “ZERO” position.
• Ensure the cylinder valve is open – in the“ON”position.
• Check that the gauge indicates pressure/contents. If the pointer reaches
the red area send the cylinder for the lling
• For regulators tted with a ow-metering device check that there is gas
ow at each setting (for instance, by listening for the sound of gas ow or
checking presence of bubbles in a humidier).
• Turn o the shut o cylinder valve by turning the hand wheel in a clock-
wise direction to the stop position. Do not use excessive force.
• Reset the ow control knob to on the “ZERO” position once the gas ow
stops and the regulator is vented..
• For regulators tted with a pressure outlet, ensure it is functional by con-
necting and disconnecting a male QC probe.
6.2. USER OUTLETS CONNECTION & USE
6.2.1. List of recognised accessories
To be connected to the ow outlet:
Humidiers, breathing masks or cannulas, gas savers, nebulizers.
To be connected to the pressure outlet:
Flexible hoses, ow meters, Venturi suction ejectors.
At regulators tted with pressure outlet together with ejector outlet
don´t use quick coupler and ejector outlet in the same time. Especially
when inlet pressure is bellow 50 bar it may negatively aect performance
of the regulator.
Before connecting any accessory or medical device to the regulator, al-
ways check that it is fully compatible with the product connection fea-
tures & the product performances.
6.2.2. Pressure outlet connection
Pressure outlet I
• Ensure the male quick coupler is compatible with the pressure outlet
feature.
• Connect the male quick coupler.
• Check if the male quick coupler is fully engaged.
Regulator with threaded connector as pressure outlet shall be only an
integral part of medical equipment. Do not use it for other purposes!
Pressure outlet II
• Ensure the counterpart is compatible with the pressure outlet features.
• Screw the counterpart.
• Check the counterpart is fully screwed.

EN
8/60
When is pressure outlet used by medical product with high ow con-
sumption (for example lung ventilator with request of source ow
100 l/min at minimal pressure 2,8 bar) check the required capacity
of source device with regulator pressure outlet performance listed in
appendix 1. To obtain enough performance of the regulator is recomend-
ed replace cylinder when gauge reach the red area.
6.2.3. Flow outlet connection
When connecting any accessory to the ow outlet make sure that it is not
connected to the patient before operating the product.
• Ensure the hose/humidier is compatible with the ow outlet feature.
• Push the hose onto the regulator ow outlet/outlet for humidier.
• Ensure the hose/humidier is well engaged.
6.2.4. Use of product through the ow outlet (Flow setting)
• Ensure that the ow control knob is on the ZERO position.
• Ensure that the accessory is connected to the ow outlet.
• Slowly open the cylinder valve by turning the hand wheel in anticlock-
wise direction approx. 1 to 1½ turns.
Sudden opening of the cylinder valve could result in a danger of re or
explosion arising from oxygen pressure shocks. Insucient opening of
the cylinder valve could reduce actual ow delivered.
• Set the ow control knob on the required one of the available ow rates.
Always ensure that the ow control knob has engaged and not placed
between two settings otherwise the ow selector will not deliver the cor-
rect ow of medical gas.
Do not try to apply an excessive torque on the ow control knob when it
stops on the maximum ow position or in zero position.
The oxygen ow rate must be prescribed and administered by a clinically
trained user.
After completion of the therapy
• Turn o the cylinder valve by turning the hand wheel in a clockwise direc-
tion to stop position. Do not use excessive force.
• Vent gas pressure from downstream equipment.
• Reset ow control knob on the ZERO position when gas venting has
ceased.
• Disconnect the tube/humidier from the ow outlet.

• Slowly open the cylinder valve by turning the hand wheel in anticlock-
wise direction approx 1 to 1½ turns.
Sudden opening of the cylinder valve could result in a danger of re or
explosion arising from oxygen pressure shocks. Insucient opening of
the cylinder valve could reduce actual ow delivered.
• Connect the accessory to the pressure outlet.
After completion of the therapy
• Turn o the cylinder valve by turning the hand wheel in a clockwise direc-
tion to the stop position. Do not use excessive force.
• Vent gas pressure from downstream equipment.
• Disconnect the male QC probe from the pressure outlet.
6.3. AFTER USE
• Turn o the cylinder valve by turning the hand wheel in a clockwise direc-
tion to the stop position. Do not use excessive force.
• Reset the ow control knob on the “ZERO” position – when the gas vent-
ing has ceased (valid for version with ow-metering device only).
• Ensure the pressure indicator does not show any residual pressure.
• Remove connections from user outlets.
• Ret pressure outlet and ow outlet protection caps. Before retting the

A - Conexión de entrada
La válvula reguladora está unida a la válvula cilindro mediante la conexión
de entrada. La conexión de entrada puede tener una tuerca con rosca inter-
na, tuerca con rosca externa u el estribo. Dentro de la conexión de entrada
se encuentra el ltro.
B - Manómetro o indicador de presión de entrada
El regulador viene equipado con un manómetro o indicador de presión que
indica únicamente el contenido del cilindro.
El indicador de presión puede ser equipado con una señal eléctrica en la
salida. La conexión debe ser hecha únicamente por personal debidamente
formado y siempre respetando los reglamentos nacionales pertinentes a los
dispositivos eléctricos y la norma EN ISO 7396-1.
Salida de la señal eléctrica se deberá conectar únicamente a dispositivos
conformes a la norma EN ISO 60601-1 y 60601-1-2.
C, D, E – Caudalimetro y la salida de ujo
Los reguladores pueden contemplar un mando de control de Flujo – el cau-
dalímetro integrado “C” o el caudalímetro “D”. Esta función está destinada
para asegurar un Flujo de gas (l/min) a presión atmosférica directamente
al paciente mediante la salida del caudal “E”, por ejemplo, a través de una
cánula o de una mascarilla de oxígeno.
5.

ES
16/60
El conector de salida de caudal„E“ puede ser de tipo espiga para cánula,ga-
fas de oxigenoterapia o máscara, también se suministra versiones con una
conexión roscada para el frasco humedecedor.
F - Toma de salida de presión
Los reguladores pueden ser previstos de una salida de presión. La salida de
presión es la salida directa desde la cámara de presión baja. Pueden aplicar-
se dos tipos de salidas:
Salida de presión I – está equipada de una toma de presión especica al gas,
llamado también„acople rápido“. La toma de presión permite
conectar otros aparatos mediante el conector especíco para el gas dado.
Cuando la toma de presión está desconectada, la salida de presión se corta
automáticamente. Esta salida está destinada para el suministro de gas con
presión regulada para el abastecimiento de dispositivos médicos, como
ventiladores, incubadoras y otros.
Salida de presión II – equipada de una conexión roscada sin check. Los re-
guladores con este tipo de la salida de presión, solo pueden formar parte
de un dispositivo médico (por ejemplo el ventilador médico, máquina de
anestesia etc.).
¡¡¡Si el regulador esta equipado de 2 salidas de presión, no usar a la vez
ambas salidas. Si usa las 2 salida a la vez, el caudal que puede proveer el
regulador no será de acuerdo con la especicación (véase el anexo No. 1)
Nota: El color del producto (especialmente el volante de ajuste de
ujo) puede no corresponder a la codicación de color de gas para
facilitar su uso en aplicaciones de emergencias o domiciliaria.

6.1.3. Prueba de fugas antes del uso
• Para reguladores con caudalímetro, gire el mando de control de ujo a su
posición“0” - asegúrese que el mando trabaje correctamente.
• Abra lentamente la válvula del cilindro girando en dirección contraria al
reloj aproximadamente de 1 a 1 1/2 vueltas.
Una apertura rápida o repentina podría provocar un peligro de fuego
o de explosión debido a choques de presión de oxigeno. Una apertura
escasa de la válvula de cilindro puede reducir el caudal real entregado.
• Realice una comprobación visual y sonora (posibles ruidos) para detectar
posibles fugas:
• La conexión de entrada del regulador a la válvula del cilindro.
• Indicador/sensor de presión al cuerpo del regulador de presión,
• Oricios de escape de la válvula de seguridad,
• Caudalímetro (si está conectado).
• Girando el cierre manual en dirección del reloj a la posición„stop“ se cie-
rra la válvula del cilindro. No apliquen demasiada fuerza.
En el caso de detectar alguna fuga, aplique el procedimiento inscrito en
el capítulo 6.3 y devuelva la válvula para su servicio.
6.1.4. Prueba funcional antes del uso
• Poner el volante de ajuste de ujo en posición“0”.
• Abre la válvula del cilindro – posición“ON”.
• Verique si el manómetro indica la presión de cilindro. Si la aguja alcanza
el area roja, envié el cilindro a llenar
• Para reguladores caudalímetros, compruebe que haya ujo de gas en
cada posición (por ejemplo, a través del sonido o la presencia de burbujas
en el frasco humedecedor).
• Cierre la válvula del cilindro girando hacia el sentido del reloj hasta su
posición“stop”. No utilice una fuerza excesiva.
• Gire de nuevo el volante de ajuste de ujo a su posición “0” cuando no
haya ningún ujo más - asegúrese que el regulador de ujo encaje bien.
• Para las válvulas reductoras con la salida de presión, compruebe que fun-
cione correctamente, conectando y desconectando un conector (adapta-
dor) de conexión rápida.
