Pressure regulators or wall outlets for air
(medical grade/breathing quality) should
meet the following specifications:
1. Nominal supply pressure: 46-87 PSI
(3.17-6 bar).
2. Minimum required free flow rate in
relation to nominal pressure
according to Figure 2! . Example
shown: Nominal supply pressure 66.7
PSI (4.6 bar).
3. Pressure drop at minimum free flow
rate obtained from Figure 2! , must
not exceed the value obtained from
Figure 2@ . The shaded area in
Figure 2# illustrates an unacceptably
high pressure drop for nominal supply
pressure 66.7 PSI (4.6 bar) and above.
The performance of the air supply
should be verified according to the
procedures in Section 6.1.1 and 6.1.2. If
you do not know how to do this, please
contact a clinical engineer or your
distributor, for help.
