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

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.

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.

3.3 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).
