6Description of device
1. Description of device
1.1 Intended use
The distributor is used mainly at accident sites with large numbers of injured/patients and
serves primarily to supply up to four patients simultaneously with medical oxygen.
1.2 Description of function
The OXYWAY Click distributor is equipped with four click dial-adjusted flowmeters for ad-
ministering medical oxygen from central gas supplies or oxygen cylinders. The oxygen flow
can thus be individually adjusted for up to four patients.
In operation, the oxygen leaves the supply at a pressure of 4.5 bar and passes through the
connector into the OXYWAY Click distributor. In the dial head is an orifice disk with a va-
riety of orifice diameters which are lined up with the oxygen outlet by means of a click dial
system. This enables you to set the following flow rates: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 15 l/min.
There are three screwed connections and four connectors at the distributor to allow the
following connection options:
• central gas supply/oxygen cylinder
• operation/oxygen supply from external devices e.g. MEDUMAT or
OXYMAND demand valve
• oxygen masks to supply patients

Safety instructions 7
2. Safety instructions
2.1 Safety information
Read these instructions for use carefully. They form part of the OXYWAY Click distributor
and must be available at all times. Use the distributor exclusively for the intended purpose
described (see "1.1 Intended use" on Page 6).
For your own safety and the safety of your patients and in accordance with the require-
ments of Directive 93/42 EEC, please note the following.
Use of the OXYWAY Click distributor
Caution!
•Use the OXYWAY Click distributor only if you are medically trained and
have received instruction in the ventilation technique. Severe physical
damage can result from incorrect use.
• Before working with the OXYWAY Click distributor, you must have
understood how to use it.
• Do not throw the OXYWAY Click distributor.
• Do not place the OXYWAY Click distributor in liquids (water or similar).
• Always keep the distributor clean, as well as free from oil and grease.
• Please observe Section "4. Hygiene treatment" on Page 11 to prevent
infection or bacterial contamination.
Oxygen
Warning!
Spontaneous explosive reactions can occur if highly-compressed oxygen comes into
contact with flammable substances (grease, oil, alcohol etc.).
• Always keep the devices and all screwed connections free of oil and
grease.
• Prevent liquid penetrating.
• Always wash your hands before starting to work on the oxygen supply.
• Smoking and naked flames are strictly prohibited in the vicinity of any
fittings transporting oxygen.

8Safety instructions
Caution!
• It is essential also to observe the instructions for use of all other devices
being used.
Accessories/replacement parts
Caution!
If third-party articles are used, functional failures and bioincompatibility may occur.
Please note that in these cases, any claim under warranty and liability will be
invalidated if neither the accessories nor genuine replacement parts recommended
in the instructions for use are used.
Maintenance
Caution!
Have servicing and repair work carried out only by the manufacturer, Weinmann, or
by trained staff.

Starting up 9
3. Starting up
3.1 Fitting the distributor
1. Find a suitable location to attach the distributor.
2. Mark all six drill-holes at the attachment point.
3. Drill the holes using a Ø 3 mm drill bit.
4. Screw on the distributor using the six screws enclosed.
The distributor must be fitted horizontally.
Caution!
The surface for attachment must be sufficiently
sound to hold the distributor safely to DIN EN 1789
(ambulances).
3.2 Connecting an oxygen supply to the
distributor
Example: connecting the distributor to an oxygen cylinder
1. Close the cylinder valve.
2. Connect the threaded connector of the pressure tube
to the free threaded connection on the distributor.
3. Connect the free connector of the pressure tube to the
corresponding connector on the oxygen supply.

10 Starting up
3.3 Operation with external devices
The OXYWAY Click distributor is designed so that external devices can be operated with it.
These include for example:
• MEDUMAT Easy
• MEDUMAT Standard
• MEDUMAT Standard a
• MEDUMAT Basic p
• OXYMAND demand valve
• OMNIVAC secretion suction
Caution!
• If external devices are used, pay particular attention that the total flow
taken off does not exceed the maximum flow of the pressure reducer.
• If all inhalation outputs and an external device are used simultaneously,
oxygen output may be slightly reduced (see "9.2 Quantity of oxygen sup-
plied by the OXYWAY Click distributor" on Page 16).

Hygiene treatment 11
4. Hygiene treatment
The OXYWAY Click distributor must be cleaned and disinfected after every use.
You can use a commercially-available household cleaning agent for cleaning.
1. Wipe down the OXYWAY Click distributor with a soft damp cloth.
Warning!
If, in exceptional cases, you have to perform disinfecting by wiping, take particular
care that no liquid gets into the distributor or the pressure tubes. Otherwise there is
a risk of disinfectant getting into the patient's respiratory tract with the oxygen,
leading to injury.
We recommend using the disinfectant TERRALIN for disinfecting by wiping; this can
be ordered from Schülke & Mayr, Robert-Koch-Str.2, D-22851 Norderstedt.
It is recommended that suitable gloves (e.g. household or disposable gloves) are used
for disinfecting.
2. Always perform a function check afterwards (see "5. Function check" on Page 12).
Accessories
To clean the accessories, see the section entitled "Cleaning" in the corresponding
instructions for use.
To disinfect/sterilize the accessories, see the section entitled "Hygiene treatment" in the
corresponding instructions for use.

12 Function check
5. Function check
5.1 Intervals
Perform a function check before each use, but in any case at least every 6 months.
Warning!
If you discover faults during the function check, you may not use the OXYWAY Click
distributor until the faults have been rectified.
5.2 Performing the function check
1. Check the distributor for visible mechanical damage.
2. Ensure that the click dials of the flowmeters are in position "0".
3. Connect the distributor to an oxygen cylinder using a pressure tube.
4. Check that the connections between the distributor, the pressure tube and the oxygen
cylinder are tight.
5. Slowly open the cylinder valve.
6. Now use the click dials to adjust all dial positions one after the other and in each case
check at the oxygen outlet whether the flow is rising in accordance with the setting.
7. Return the click dials to setting "0".
8. Check that the screwed connections on the distributor are tight.
9. Prepare a soap-and-water solution using perfume-free soap.
10.Wet all screwed and tube connections with the solution. If there are any leaks, you will
now find them, as bubbles will form.
11.Close the cylinder valve.
12.Depressurize the system by opening a metering unit until the pressure has dropped to
0 bar.
13.In the event of leaks, contact your distributor or the manufacturer, Weinmann.
Caution!
• The distributor is not a shutoff valve. Small amounts of oxygen can still
escape, even if the distribution points are completely closed. To shut off
the O2supply, close the cylinder valve/disconnect the distributor from the
central gas supply.

Troubleshooting 13
• Use the OXYWAY Click distributor only if all the click dials are working
properly.
6. Troubleshooting
7. Servicing
7.1 Intervals
Have a control measurement performed every four years to check metering accuracy.
We recommend having repair work performed by the manufacturer, Weinmann, or by
trained experts expressly authorized by Weinmann.
7.2 Method
The device should be cleaned and disinfected beforehand (see "4. Hygiene treatment" on
Page 11).
The following points should be taken into account.
• Visual inspection:
– mechanical damage
– labeling of components
• System leaktight

following procedure:
1. clean the device (see "4. Hygiene treatment" on Page 11).
2. store the OXYWAY Click distributor dry.
