5) Close cylinder valve. Tighten fittings as required to eliminate all external leaks. DO NOT over tighten threaded connections. Replace yoke washer if required.  9. 10.  D. Operation: 1) If the regulator is equipped with a flow outlet, ensure that the Flow Selector setting is at “0” position. 2) Stand behind the cylinder so that the cylinder is between you and the regulator. Never stand in front of a cylinder outlet or regulator when opening the cylinder valve. 3) Slowly and gradually open the cylinder valve. 4) Ensure pressure build up through the pressure gauge. 5) If leakage occurs between the regulator and cylinder, never tighten fittings when under pressure: a. Turn off cylinder valve immediately and vent any trapped pressure inside the regulator. b. Unscrew the pressure regulator, c. Inspect and replace the yoke washer if necessary, d. Attach the pressure regulator to the cylinder as per B1) or B2). 6) Connect regulator outlet to user medical equipment with suitable fittings. 7) Rotate the Flow Control knob to the required flow setting. 8) When medical gas is not needed any more, turn off the cylinder post valve first and vent any trapped pressure inside the regulator. 9) Turn the Flow Selector knob back to “0” position if applicable and then remove the pressure regulator from the cylinder. 10) Check yoke washer seal and replace it if necessary. 11) Store the pressure regulator in a clean and dry place.  E.  Preventative Maintenance:  This pressure regulator can be cleaned with a clean, soft cloth after each use. Replacement of yoke seal washer shall be carried out by the user every 6 months or in the event of a leak. The spare part used shall be obtained from O-Two Medical Technologies Inc. The part number for the yoke seal washer is 01OR1002. DO NOT use alternate seals. Never replace factory-installed seals with plastic yoke washer seals. Never install a regulator with more than one yoke seal washer. The user shall also test the regulator (output pressure and therapy flow if applicable) periodically to ensure proper performance and safety. The frequency of such testing should be established according to usage, but it shall be performed at least every 6 months. O-Two Medical recommends that the regulator be returned to the manufacturer or its authorized agents for evaluation for damage, contamination, wear and function every 5 years. The maximum service life for the pressure regulator is 15 years providing the above maintenance recommendations are followed.  SAFETY WARNINGS 1.  2.  3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.  The use of O-Two Medical Technologies pressure regulators for gases other than compressed medical gases of up to 3000 psi is expressly prohibited by O-Two Medical Technologies and the user must assume all liabilities. Using oil, grease or other petroleum-based substances with oxygen and oxygen mixtures may cause fire or explosion. Therefore, do not use oil or grease on pressure regulators, cylinders, valves or other related equipment. Do not use or store oxygen equipment near excessive heat or open flame. Never administer oxidizing gases when smoking or when near an open flame. Never install a regulator to a post-type valve with more than one yoke washer between the valve and the regulator inlet. Make sure that the threaded fittings on regulators or the indexing pins on yokes are properly mated for the gas intended. Never attempt to force an incompatible connection. Always open the cylinder valve slowly. Never permit compressed oxygen to enter a regulator suddenly. Fully open the cylinder valve when a regulator is attached and in use. Never leave a cylinder valve open with regulator attached when regulator is not in use.  11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16.  17.  Before a regulator is removed from a cylinder, fully close the cylinder valve and release all gas from the regulator. Never interchange regulators, hoses, or other equipment with similar equipment intended for use with other gases. Pressure regulators and related fittings should never be handled with oily or greasy hands or gloves. Never hold hand over the outlet(s) to test for the presence of pressure. Do not stand in front of a regulator outlet when opening the cylinder valve in case foreign particles are present which could cause a hazardous malfunction of the regulator. The flow outlet is intended for patient therapy use only. Do not use it for driving any medical equipment. Do not set the flow-selecting knob between adjacent settings or it might cause no flow output. The oxygen therapy may be critical treatment. The application of the regulator should be made in strict accordance with the prescription and instructions of a physician. Secure cylinders to wall, stand, or cart in accordance with local fire codes. The regulator is equipped with an internal safety, which is designed to protect the regulator. Downstream equipment used in conjunction with the regulator should be equipped with suitable safety valves to prevent over pressurization and damage. Disassembly and assembly of regulators shall be performed only by O-Two authorized and trained personnel. The work area must be free of hydrocarbon contaminants and residues due to the danger of spontaneous combustion when residues are exposed to gaseous oxygen. Lubricant, if used in the maintenance of the pressure regulator, shall be compatible with the intended medical gases.
