HIGH ALTITUDE CONSIDERATIONS
•
The specifications provided in the Instructions for Use are for sea
level conditions, unless otherwise noted.
•
The density of air is lower at higher altitudes and has an impact
on the flow capacity of the compressor.
•
This table provides guidance for operating at higher altitudes.
•
Operating above the flow rates show for a given altitude and FiO
2
level may result in condensation or water collecting in the water
trap at the back of the Precision Flow device.
•
Monitor the water trap regularly and empty the trap if necessary
to prevent possible water entrainment into the Precision Flow.
•
It is normal for the Precision Flow air water trap to be less than
1/4 full.
