The Airgas® MediTec regulator is designed for use with high pressure medical gas cylinders equipped with a medical CGA-540 or CGA-870 cylinder valves. They regulate the flow of medical gases to the patient or instrument in liters per minute (LPM). They are intended for the administration of medical oxygen gas in the treatment, management, diagnosis evaluation and care of the patient. The Airgas® MediTec regulator is the little brother of the MediSelect II. The regulator is has less features than MediSelect II but the focus of design was functionality, safety and ergonomics. The regulator body is shrouded with a plastic guard to protect from less than gentle use. This regulator is very low in weight, making it a great solution for EMS and ambulatory applications. The large dual scale gauge is easy to read. The flow selector adjustment is intuitive. This regulator was designed specifically to provide “heavy duty use” for medical professionals.
Features
Additional flow settings allow regulator to be used for other applications
Flow setting of 25 LPM can be used for resuscitation purposes
Flow setting of 7 LPM can be used for nebulization therapy
The 0-6 LPM model has fractional setting for pediatric applications, 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 LPM
The Airgas® MediTec regulator is equipped with a unique anti-shock element that reduces the risk of adiabatic compression making the regulator more resistant to heat of recompression which can lead to ignition
The oxygen gas velocity is slowed at the inlet to lower the risk of molecule friction
