To Eliminate e Risk Of Explosion Or Fire:
• Never attempt to attach a owmeter directly to a cylinder.
• Never use grease, oil, organic lubricants or flammable materials on or
near the owmeter.
• Never smoke in an area where oxygen is being used.
• Never use any type of flame, flammable or explosive material near
the owmeter.
• Always follow CGA and ANSI standards for owmeters and
Medical Gas Products (E-7) and Oxygen Handling (G-4)
ATTENTION:
ATTENTION:
Keep the Flowmeter in a clean area when not being used.
Ensure that all connections are tightened and leak-free before using
the product. Only use an oxygen-safe leak detector when testing for
leaks.
e SMP owmeter is used to dispense an adjustable flow of gas
accurately under the direction of a healthcare professional. e gas
to which the owmeter is calibrated depends on the model. Each
owmeter can be used with only one type of gas. e owmeters are
available with a wide number of gas specific adapters.

INTENDED USE

Accuracy
0-15 lpm Models
From 1 to 5 lpm: ±0.25 lpm
From > 6 to 15 lpm: ±0.50 lpm
Operational Temperature Limits
Maximum 120ºF (49ºC) and Minimum 0ºF (-18ºC).
Calibrated Inlet Pressure
Flowmeters are calibrated at 50 psi inlet pressure.
NOTE:
Some owmeter models may be supplied with an open 1/8-27
NPT female inlet port for connection to customer’s piping. Always
use thread sealants compatible with the gases involved. Use 15 to
20 foot-pounds torque for assembly. Always test for leaks on the
connections before putting into service.

Transportation / Storage Temperature
Maximum 140ºF (60ºC) and Minimum -40ºF (-40ºC).
WARNING: USE NO OIL!
Oxygen in itself is a non-ammable gas; it will however,
substantially increase the rate at which materials burn. Oil, grease
and other hydrocarbons, when combined with oxygen, will
become highly combustible and should never be used on any part
of an oxygen owmeter or other equipment used with oxygen.
Smoking is HIGHLY PROHIBITED in any area where oxygen is in
use or stored.

CAUTION:
For medicinal use only. Federal law restricts this device to be used
by or on order of a physician.

CORRECT INCORRECT
1. Attach owmeter to a 345 kPa (50 psi) gas source.
Ensure owmeter is in a vertical position (see above gures)
2. Turn control knob counterclockwise to start/increase ow.
3. Adjust to desired ow setting. Take reading at centre of ball.
4. Turn control knob clockwise to decrease/stop ow. Do not over
tighten control knob.
Always verify ow at patient’s end of tubing before applying.
Ensure that the tubing is never folded, kinked, or crushed.
