C – E-INDICATOR DISPLAY (EMM O2-
X.Y.ZZZ)
The E-Indicator Display provides an
indication of the amount of gas remaining
in the cylinder and the remaining amount
of time before the cylinder be comes
empty (based on the current flow rate).
'X.Y' is a coding identifying the hardware
L
version (X) and software version (Y). 'ZZZ'
is a coding of inlet pressure for which the
EN
E-Indicator Display shall be used. For more
information see Chapter 6 - E-Indicator
Display.
D – COMBINATION CONTROL KNOB
"SHUT-OFF VALVE & FLOW SELECTOR"
The valve is fitted with combination control
knob for valve turning-on/off and setting of
particular flows. The valve is turned on by
anticlockwise rotation from OFF position
to ON position. Particular flows are set by C
K
further anticlockwise rotation. The shut-off
valve is turned off by clockwise rotation to
OFF position.
Typical E-Ministar configuration
E – RESIDUAL PRESSURE VALVE
Combination valve is equipped with a residual pressure valve with function to retain a minimum
positive pressure in the gas cylinder to avoid contamination of the cylinder content by
atmospheric air. During cylinder gas ventilation through the filling port the residual pressure
valve is by passed.
F, G – FLOW CONTROL HEAD "F" AND FLOW OUTLET "G" (OPTION)
Combination valve is delivered with a flow control head "F".This function is used to supply
adjustable gas flow rates (l/min) at atmospheric pressure directly to a patient through the flow
outlet "G", for instance through a cannula or a facemask. The flow outlet "G" is equipped with
hose fitting (hose nipple) or a threaded type (for accessories to be connected via threaded
connection).
Movement of the flow outlet 'G' is normal due to the method of fixing in the main body. It doesn't
indicate a faulty flow outlet.
H – PRESSURE OUTLET - QUICK COUPLER OR PURGE VALVE (OPTION)
The pressure outlet is the outlet direct from the low-pressure part of the valve and it is fitted with
a specific quick connector or purge valve.
In the use of the valve with quick connector also called "quick coupler" (see appendix Nr 2) the
user can connect another piece of equipment to quick coupler with a gas specific male probe
– quick-coupler probe. Its disconnection means self-sealing of the quick connector. This outlet
is for supplying gas at a controlled pressure to power medical devices, for instance medical
ventilator.
The valve without the quick coupler is provided with purge valve that is used to vent residual
pressure in the low-pressure part of the valve.
I - BURSTING DISC
The bursting disc is placed above the residual pressure vale E. It is a safety device which
prevents over-pressurization of the low pressure area of the valve.
