Warnings, Cautions, Notes

Refer to the instructions or manual from the oxygen source manufacturer for all
warnings, cautions and notes that may be applicable.

Oxygen promotes rapid burning. Do not allow smoking or open flames in the
same room where oxygen is being used.

Certain oxygen concentrators may require a minimum flowrate to produce high
concentration oxygen. When using SureFlow with these models the minimum
flowrate must be achieved through combined patient use, or when nece ssary,
by allowing some of the oxygen to vent out of an unused oxygen outlet.

The oxygen source must not exceed 50 psig (345 kPa)

This manual covers connecting the SureFlow to an oxygen concentrator source.
If you intend to use another oxygen source, consult with the manufacturer or
supplier of that oxygen equipment.

Introduction

SureFlow™ is a new and uniquely engineered flow station developed by AirSep Corporation for
economically administering medical-grade oxygen to multiple patients from an oxygen
concentrator or other oxygen source (gas or liquid).

This product enables clinicians and medics around the world to ma nage and redirect the flow
from a single oxygen source to a simple flow station to serve up to five individuals per SureFlow
unit.

Two or more SureFlow units can be connected together to serve even more individuals
simultaneously. Each flowmeter is adjusted separately to ensure precise control with a visual
indication of flow for safety and comfort.

Dual flow models of NewLife® Intensity 8 and 10 LPM concentrators provide greater flexibility in
delivering oxygen by allowing SureFlow to operate connected to one of the concentrator’s
flowmeters while the secondary flowmeter can supply oxygen for a nebulizer treatment or a
higher flow patient.

SureFlow units also meet the low flow oxygen needs of pediatric patients in a critical care nursery
in developing countries around the globe. The standard SureFlow is configured with 5 low-flow
flowmeters, which display in 1/10 increments and can be used within a wide range of settings
from 1/10 LPM to 1.0 LPM. SureFlow can also be specially ordered with a combination of 1 LPM
and 5 LPM flowmeters, or with five 2 LPM flowmeters which display in 1/8 LPM increments.
