Owner’s Manual - Regal Intensive Care Unit
Oxygen flow is inadequate.
First: Check your oxygen supply. Is the tank empty or is the
pressure regulator improperly adjusted?
Second: Make sure that all four panel access knobs on the filter/
fans compartment are firmly locked. Failure to lock all four of these
knobs will result in oxygen leakage through the air grills between the
animal and filter/fans compartments, and consequent loss of oxygen
past the loose panel.
Third: Is the oxygen flow meter adjusted properly? Refer to
Controlling Oxygen Flow Rate on Page 56.
Fourth: Is the set point on the oxygen concentration meter
correctly set? Refer to Using Oxygen on Page 51.
CAUTION: If oxygen pressure, flow rate, and
concentration are correctly set, and the oxygen flow
is still low, you probably have a leak in the system.
Turn the ICU off and observe all oxygen safety
measures. Refer to Oxygen Warnings on Page 3.
Fifth: Have your oxygen supply service check your supply lines
and connections for leaks.
CAUTION: Before working on the electrical system,
make sure the unit is Off and the electric power cord
un-plugged.
Sixth: Open the electronics compartment and check all oxygen
lines. Check for loose connections, and damaged or kinked oxygen
lines.
Seventh: Your solenoid valve may be defective. Order P/N
853440 and refer to Page 118 for replacement instructions.
Eighth: Your oxygen flow meter may be defective. Order
P/N 853456 and refer to Page 120 for replacement instructions.
