High-Precision Oxygen Cylinder Regulator with Adjustable Flowmeter and Integrated Humidifier

An Oxygen Cylinder Regulator with Flowmeter and Humidifier is a medical device designed to control and deliver oxygen from a high-pressure cylinder to patients requiring supplemental oxygen therapy. It ensures that oxygen is administered at a safe and precise flow rate, with added humidity to enhance patient comfort.

Key Components and Features:

• Regulator: Reduces the high pressure from the oxygen cylinder to a usable level, typically around 50 psi, ensuring consistent and safe oxygen delivery.

• Flowmeter: Allows precise adjustment of the oxygen flow rate, commonly ranging from 0 to 15 liters per minute (LPM), to meet individual patient needs.

• Humidifier Bottle: Adds moisture to the oxygen, preventing dryness and irritation of the respiratory tract during therapy.

• Pressure Gauge: Displays the pressure within the oxygen cylinder, indicating the amount of oxygen available for use.

Specifications:

• Flow Rate Range: 0–15 LPM, adjustable to suit patient requirements.

• Input Pressure: Designed to handle cylinder pressures up to 200 bar (approximately 2900 psi).

• Output Pressure: Typically fixed at 50 psi to ensure safe and consistent oxygen delivery.

• Materials: Constructed with durable materials such as chrome-plated brass for the regulator body and polycarbonate for the flowmeter and humidifier bottle, ensuring longevity and reliability.

Usage Considerations:

• Compatibility: Ensure the regulator is compatible with the specific type of oxygen cylinder in use, as connection types may vary (e.g., CGA540, CGA870).

• Maintenance: Regularly inspect and clean the humidifier bottle and flowmeter to maintain optimal performance and hygiene.

• Safety Features: Many regulators include safety valves to prevent excessive pressure buildup and are designed to maintain a constant flow rate regardless of cylinder pressure variations.

This device is widely used in hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare settings to provide patients with controlled and humidified oxygen therapy, enhancing comfort and therapeutic efficacy.
