position.
Do not try to apply an excessive torque on the flow handwheel when it
stops on the maximum flow position or in zero position.
During the use ensure that connected hose is not mechanically damaged,
throttled or broken, which would reduce or break the gas supply to the
patient.
Only user and doctor is accountable for method of its use at the specific
patient and for assessment of the flow value.
Fluctuating inlet pressure and ambient temperature can have an influence
on the accuracy of flow measurement.

7.3. AFTER USE

• At first, always disconnect the humidifier (if connected).
• Turn off the medical gas source supply (e. g. by closing of the shut-off
valve)
• Vent any rest of medical gas from the supply system (e. g. by opening of
the connected device outlet). At version with the gas pressure indicator
check zero pressure after venting.
• Turn the handwheel of the MediFlow® Selector to the position "0" (if
equipped).
• Close the connected device outlet and disconnect it from the panel.
If the humidifiers are used, NEVER stop the flow on the humidifier outlet.
There is a risk of the liquid entering to the gas supply system in time of
its venting. For stopping the flow from the humidifier use the control of
device to which is humidifier connected (e. g. flowmeter handwheel).
