O2 Flow Meter
Flow Meter /CMS
Design and Components: An oxygen flow meter typically consists of several key components:
- Flow Control Knob: The central element of the flow meter, the flow control knob, allows healthcare professionals to adjust the rate at which oxygen is delivered to the patient. This knob is usually marked with clear, incremental settings to enable precise control.
- Flow Gauge: Attached to the flow control knob is a flow gauge, which provides a visual indication of the oxygen flow rate in liters per minute (LPM). This gauge is usually a round, analog dial or a digital display, making it easy to read and set the desired flow rate.
- Inlet Connection: The flow meter connects to the oxygen source, such as a medical oxygen cylinder or a central oxygen supply system, via an inlet connection. This connection ensures a secure and leak-free attachment.
- Outlet Connection: The other end of the flow meter features an outlet connection, where oxygen tubing or a nasal cannula is attached. This is where the patient receives the oxygen therapy.
- Safety Features: Many oxygen Cylinder flow meters include safety features such as pressure-relief valves to prevent over-pressurization and built-in pressure gauges to monitor the pressure of the oxygen source.
An oxygen flow meter, also known as an oxygen flowmeter or oxygen flow regulator, is a critical medical device designed to precisely control and monitor the flow of oxygen from a medical oxygen source to a patient. This essential piece of equipment is commonly used in healthcare settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare, to ensure that patients receive the appropriate and prescribed amount of oxygen therapy.
