OTICA Oxygen Flowmeter Regulator with Humidifier Bottle

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

MODEL: OTICA Oxygen Flowmeter Regulator with Humidifier Bottle

Overview

The image shows the Otica Oxygen Flowmeter Regulator With Humidifier Bottle, a critical medical device used to safely control, measure, and humidify the delivery of therapeutic oxygen from a high-pressure medical cylinder to a patient.

Key Components

• Pressure Gauge: The circular dial on the left measures the remaining gas pressure inside the attached oxygen cylinder.
• Pressure Regulator Valve: The central chrome-plated assembly drops the intense, high tank pressure down to a safe, workable level.
• Flow Adjustment Control: The large black top knob is used to turn the gas supply on or off and precisely modulate the volume of air.
• Thorpe Tube Flowmeter: The clear, vertical graduated tube contains a float ball that rises against a scale to show the live flow rate in liters per minute (LPM).
• Humidifier Bottle: The clear lower chamber infuses moisture into the dry medical gas to prevent dryness and irritation in the patient’s respiratory tract.

Standard Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Prepare the Humidifier: Unscrew the lower plastic bottle and fill it with sterile or distilled water up to the indicated standard marking line. Tighten the bottle back onto the cap securely to prevent any pressure leaks.
2. Mount to the Cylinder: Align and screw the regulator’s main inlet bullnose nut directly onto the medical oxygen tank valve. Use an appropriate spanner wrench to ensure it is tightened snug without over-torqueing.
3. Pressurize the System: Make sure the top black flow control knob is fully closed. Gently and slowly open the main cylinder tank valve. You will see the needle on the pressure gauge jump up to display the total tank contents.
4. Connect Delivery Tubing: Push the patient’s nasal cannula or oxygen mask tubing firmly onto the metal ribbed outlet nozzle located on the side of the humidifier top cap.
5. Adjust the Flow Rate: Turn the black flow control knob counterclockwise slowly. Watch the metal float ball inside the vertical tube rise. Align the center of the ball precisely with the specific liter-per-minute (LPM) marking prescribed by the supervising medical professional
