Drive Medical CHAD Regulator is a medical device used to reduce the pressure of oxygen from a cylinder to levels that can be safely used by a patient. It is intended for use by patients who need increased oxygen levels to improve their breathing conditions. The regulator can also be used in emergency situations. The CHAD Regulator has a pressure relief valve on the underside of the regulator that will vent oxygen if the pressure becomes too high. The regulator also has a flow rate setting that can be adjusted to the desired setting. The CHAD Regulator is easy to set up and use.

Warnings
·Federal law restricts this device to
use by or on order of a physician.
Only use as prescribed by a
physician
·This unit should only be used on
patients who are breathing; do not
use to resuscitate non
-
breathing
patients
·Do
not use with oil, grease or any
other flammable material
·Keep out of reach of children
·Do not smoke in an area where
oxygen is in use
·Do not use this equipment unless you
have been trained in its proper use
or are under supervision of
someone trained i
n its use
·If the pressure relief valve on the
underside of the regulator begins to
vent oxygen, turn off the system
and remove the unit until it can be
serviced
·Use
ONLY
manufacturer
-
approved
replacement parts
Set Up
·Inspect and install the cylinder u
sing
instructions of qualified personnel.
Be sure to purge the cylinder valve
seat of debris
·Inspect the regulator for oil or grease.
If these are visible, DO NOT use the
regulator
·Be sure the sealing washer is in place
on the yoke inlet
·Slip the yoke
over the cylinder post
and fit the pins into the holes on the
cylinder valve. The pins should fit
easily into these holes
·Turn the t
-
handle clockwise until the
screw point is seated in the dimple
on the cylinder valve. Be sure the
regulator is tightene
d snugly onto
the cylinder
·Attach the oxygen supply tubing to the
barbed outlet connection
Use
·Be sure the regulator is in the "off" position by rotating the
knob counter
clockwise to the "0" position
·
For safety, be sure you are not directly in front of or behind
the regulator when opening the cylinder valve
·SLOWLY turn the cylinder valve on (counter
clockwise),
about one full turn
·If you can hear a hissing sound, there is a leak in the
system. Turn
the cylinder off and turn the regulator on to
relieve any built up pressure. Try tightening the regulator
to the cylinder and opening the cylinder again. If this
does not help, shut the system down again and contact a
service representative. NEVER attem
pt to repair a
regulator or cylinder yourself.
·Adjust the flow rate setting by turning the knob clockwise
until the desired setting shows through the window.
·If the cylinder pressure falls below 30
0 PSI, you should
exchange the cylinder for a full one
·To turn off the system, close the cylinder valve, wait for
oxygen to flow out of the regulator, and turn regulator to
the "0" position
·NEVER try to remove the regulator unless the cylinder is
off and
pressure has been relieved
