Instructions for use
- Place the flow splitter on a stable furniture surface or attach it to a wall near to the patients.
- Connect the flowsplitter, via the hosepipe, to the Oxygen concentrator(s).
- Cut the silicone tube in equal lengths: short and medium sizes.
- Connect the exit of the flow splitter via the (short) silicone tubes, with the check valves. Make sure to connect the check valves in the same direction of the flow!
- Connect the hose connectors to the humidifiers.
- Connect the check valves with the (medium size) silicone tubes, with the hose connectors on the humidifiers.
- Connect a patient tube between the humidifier and the patient.
Do not forget
To connect the 5 patients it is necessary to have a 10l concentrator or two of 5l connected from both sides; If you connect only 1 of 5l you can only give 5 litres in total (2 patients 2 litres, 5 patients + -1 litre…)
Always check the flow and concentration with the oxygen analyzer when installed: EIMTCONE1--.

MSF requirements
The add-on set does not include the flow splitter. It includes the humidifiers and other accessories needed for the administration of oxygen from 0 to 2 litres per minute to multiple children.
The humidification of the oxygen is recommended in case of prolonged administration in order to prevent the mucous membranes to dry out.
