YH.YX11A Buoy Type Oxygen Inhaler User Manual

1. Introduction

This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the safe and effective use of the YH.YX11A Buoy Type Oxygen Inhaler. This device is primarily designed for use within medical center oxygen supply systems to facilitate oxygen inhalation for patients requiring oxygen therapy, including those with hypoxic conditions. It functions by decompressing high-pressure oxygen from a cylinder into a stable, breathable low-pressure flow.

2. Safety Information

Please read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before operating the oxygen inhaler. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the equipment.

• This device should only be operated by trained personnel in a medical setting or under the direct supervision of a healthcare professional.
• Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free before use.
• Do not use oil or grease on any part of the oxygen inhaler or oxygen cylinder, as this can cause fire or explosion.
• Keep the device away from open flames, sparks, and heat sources.
• Regularly inspect the device for any signs of damage or wear. Do not use if damaged.
• The gas is specially filtered and dehumidified by the device to ensure impurities are eliminated, providing comfortable and safe inhalation.

3. Components and Parts

The YH.YX11A Buoy Type Oxygen Inhaler comes with the following main components:

• Pressure Regulator Body: Made of high-quality zinc alloy, ensuring durability and resistance to rust.
• Pressure Gauge: Displays the output pressure in MPa, with a clear and visible scale.
• Flowmeter: A buoy-type flowmeter indicating oxygen flow in L/min.
• Flow Control Valve: Used to adjust the oxygen flow rate.
• Humidifier Bottle: Transparent bottle with water level markings (Upper, Distilled Water Preferred, Lower) for humidifying oxygen.
• Nasal Oxygen Tube: For patient connection and oxygen delivery.
• G5/8 BSPP Connection: Standard connection for oxygen cylinders.
• Safety Valve: An integrated safety mechanism.
• Built-in Muffler: Designed for low-noise operation.

4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps for proper setup of your oxygen inhaler:

1. Prepare the Humidifier Bottle: Unscrew the humidifier bottle from the main unit. Fill it with distilled water up to the 'PREFERRED' or 'UPPER' level indicated on the bottle. Do not overfill.
2. Attach Humidifier Bottle: Carefully screw the filled humidifier bottle back onto the main regulator unit, ensuring it is securely tightened to prevent leaks.
3. Connect to Oxygen Cylinder: Ensure the oxygen cylinder valve is closed. Connect the G5/8 BSPP connector of the oxygen inhaler to the outlet valve of the oxygen cylinder. Tighten the connection firmly using an appropriate wrench, ensuring a gas-tight seal.
4. Attach Nasal Oxygen Tube: Connect one end of the nasal oxygen tube to the oxygen outlet on the humidifier bottle.
5. Verify Connections: Double-check all connections for tightness and proper seating before opening the oxygen cylinder valve.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the device is set up, follow these steps to operate the oxygen inhaler:

1. Open Oxygen Cylinder Valve: Slowly open the main valve of the oxygen cylinder. The pressure gauge on the inhaler will show the output pressure (0.2 MPa).
2. Adjust Flow Rate: Turn the flow control valve (blue knob) to adjust the desired oxygen flow rate. The buoy in the flowmeter will rise to indicate the current flow in L/min.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your oxygen inhaler:

• Humidifier Bottle Cleaning: The humidifier bottle should be cleaned regularly with a mild disinfectant solution and rinsed thoroughly with distilled water. Allow it to air dry completely before reassembly.
• Water Replacement: Replace the distilled water in the humidifier bottle daily or as per medical guidelines to prevent bacterial growth.
• External Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the regulator and flowmeter with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
• Storage: Store the oxygen inhaler in a clean, dry, and dust-free environment when not in use. Disconnect it from the oxygen cylinder for long-term storage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all components for cracks, damage, or signs of wear. Pay close attention to the nasal oxygen tube for kinks or blockages.
