Medical Oxygen Cylinder Regulator with Humidifier Bottle
This regulator is designed for use with medical oxygen cylinders. It controls the outlet flow from the cylinder to the prescribed setting. The body is made of high-quality brass with internal stainless-steel components, and the unit is supplied with a water humidifier bottle to moisten the oxygen stream, which may help reduce nasal and throat dryness associated with dry oxygen flow.
Compatibility with the cylinder valve type must be confirmed before installation. Do not use adapters or fittings that are not intended for oxygen service.
What is an oxygen regulator?
An oxygen regulator is fitted to a cylinder to regulate outlet pressure and control flow to the required setting. The cylinder stores compressed oxygen; the regulator ensures controlled delivery suitable for clinical use.
Key features
- For use with medical oxygen cylinders (confirm valve compatibility).
- Controls and adjusts oxygen flow from the cylinder.
- High-quality brass body.
- Internal stainless-steel components.
- Resistant to wear and corrosion.
- Includes a water humidifier bottle.
- Practical design for oxygen cylinder systems.
- Simple to operate when correctly installed.
- Suitable for home or clinical use as directed by a healthcare professional.
How it works and basic use
The regulator mounts to a compatible oxygen cylinder valve. After the cylinder valve is opened, oxygen passes through the regulator where outlet flow is controlled and set to the required rate.
- Ensure the cylinder valve is closed before installation.
- Verify the regulator matches the cylinder valve type.
- Inspect the regulator and connections before use.
- Attach and secure the regulator correctly.
- Check for leaks.
- Open the cylinder valve gradually.
- Set the flow rate according to the prescription or professional guidance.
- Monitor the system during use.
- Close the cylinder valve after use as instructed.
Do not change a prescribed oxygen flow rate without consulting a qualified professional.
Important precautions
- Oxygen supports combustion: keep away from flames and heat sources.
- No smoking near the cylinder or regulator.
- Do not use oils or grease on oxygen connections.
- Store and use in a well-ventilated area.
- Secure cylinders to prevent tipping.
- Inspect connections before each use.
- Do not use a damaged regulator.
- Do not attempt non-specialist repairs.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Use oxygen only as prescribed.
Selecting the right regulator
Selection should not be based on price alone. Confirm technical compatibility and requirements before purchase. Do not rely only on the connector’s appearance; verify the actual valve type and specifications.
- Cylinder valve type and connection.
- Regulator compatibility with the specific cylinder.
- Required flow rate for the intended use.
- Presence of pressure/flow indicators as needed.
- Need for a humidifier bottle within the system.
- Construction quality and materials suitable for oxygen service (e.g., brass, corrosion-resistant components).
- Follow manufacturer instructions.
Regulator vs. pressure gauge
The regulator controls outlet pressure and flow. A pressure gauge indicates pressure (e.g., cylinder pressure or system pressure) depending on the device design. Some products combine multiple functions; check the specifications.
Regulator vs. oxygen humidifier
The regulator controls flow; a humidifier adds moisture to the oxygen stream. This product includes a water humidifier bottle, providing regulated flow with optional humidification.
Applications
- Home care (when prescribed).
- Hospitals.
- Clinics.
- Health centers.
- Other uses involving medical oxygen cylinders as directed by a professional.
Flow settings must be determined by a clinician according to the user’s condition.
