O2 Regulator - Unilight

An oxygen regulator is a device that reduces the pressure of oxygen from a high-pressure cylinder to a lower pressure that is safe for human use. Oxygen regulators are used in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and home health care.

Oxygen regulators typically have two main components: a pressure regulator and a flowmeter. The pressure regulator reduces the pressure of the oxygen from the cylinder to a safe level, typically between 4 and 5 psi. The flowmeter controls the amount of oxygen that flows from the regulator to the patient.

Oxygen regulators are important safety devices that help to ensure that patients receive the correct amount of oxygen. They are also important for preventing oxygen leaks and fires.

Here are some of the benefits of using an oxygen regulator:

• Reduces the pressure of oxygen from a high-pressure cylinder to a safe level for human use
• Controls the amount of oxygen that flows to the patient
• Helps to prevent oxygen leaks and fires
• Is an important safety device for patients who need to use oxygen

If you are using oxygen therapy, it is important to use an oxygen regulator that is properly sized and maintained. You should also follow the instructions of your doctor or respiratory therapist when using an oxygen regulator.

Here are some safety tips for using an oxygen regulator:

• Always use an oxygen regulator that is the correct size for your oxygen cylinder.
• Never use an oxygen regulator that is damaged or leaking.
• Always keep the oxygen regulator clean and free of debris.
• Do not use an oxygen regulator near open flames or other sources of ignition.
• Do not smoke while using an oxygen regulator.
• If you have any questions about using an oxygen regulator, consult your doctor or respiratory therapist.
