17 PART NO. 1093845 VENTURE™
OPERATION
3. If using an oxygen cylinder, check that the regulator is
properly attached before opening the cylinder valve.
4. Connect the Venture DODD to the regulator by performing
one (1) of the following:
A. If using an Oxygen Cylinder and Regulator:
On a 20 psig regulator, connect the tubing (supplied with
the Venture DODD) from the barb fitting of the regulator
to the barb inlet fitting on the Venture DODD.
On a 50 psig regulator, connect the threaded (DISS) fitting
(supplied with the Venture DODD) to the regulator DISS fitting.
NOTE: The 50 psig system should ONLY be used with the threaded
(DISS) fitting and not the 12-inch connecting tube, as the pressure may
be too great for the tube to stay connected.
B. If using a Liquid Oxygen Reservoir:
Directly connect the Venture DODD to the oxygen
source using a DISS fitting.
5. Connect the nasal cannula tubing to the barbed oxygen outlet
fitting on the Venture DODD and adjust cannula for comfort.
WARNING
When using nasal or masked type administering
equipment, oxygen or air tubing MUST be routed and
secured properly to ensure that the tubing does NOT
become entangled, kinked or severed.
NOTE: Use ONLY a NASAL CANNULA with PULSE MODE
delivery, NOT a mask. A mask may NOT fit your face well enough for the
unit to sense your inhalation.
NOTE: A special nasal cannula is NOT required. Any standard flow
crush-proof nasal cannula can be used.
NOTE: A MASK or a CANNULA may be used with CONTINUOUS FLOW.
NOTE: The cannula tubing can be up to 50 feet long to function properly
in the pulse mode. The continuous flow mode is NOT affected by the
length of the canula tubing.
