Mediflow devices are intended for the administration of the following medical gases in the treatment and care of patients. This flow selector is intended to be fitted to medical gas pipeline system terminal units in hospitals or ambulance cars or to a quick connector outlet of a medical gas regulator.
A device intended to measure and regulate the flow of a medical gas [e.g., oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), helium/oxygen gas mixture (heliox), medical air] during various procedures (e.g., therapeutic administration, anaesthesia, insufflation during surgery). It consists of an upright tube containing a float, which rises and falls in relation to gas flow, and a distal valve (compensated flowmeter) to control gas flow rate; some types include a pressure gauge/regulator. It will be calibrated to a specific medical gas and have a dedicated flow rate range, therefore some types may be dedicated to a specific patient group (e.g., neonate, infant, adult) or clinical use.
