SCUBA2MED2 - SCUBA to Medical O2 - Adaptor & Flow Restrictor

Delivers gas at nominal flow rates of 6.7 to 8.9 LPM (STP), depending on inter-stage pressure.  

Designed specifically to feed oxygen to medical masks at a fixed flow rate for supplemental oxygen use. 

• Simply screws into the medium pressure port of a diving regulator’s 1^st stage
• 3/8” UNF thread
• Suitable for 6mm bore tubing (mask and tubing not supplied)
• Oxygen compatible and oxygen clean

Open Source Design: This is a low-tech product which can be manufactured quickly on 24/7 machines anywhere in the world. We have done the developmental work and offer this as Open Source for other engineers to reproduce. You can see the Technical Specs above or download the pdf here.

Medical 1^st aid oxygen kits incorporate a regulator with an adjustable flow to allow flow rates normally from 3 LPM to 20 LPM, depending on the requirements of patients. 

The SCUBA2MED2 enables you to use oxygen prepared cylinders, cylinder valves and first stages to deliver oxygen ONLY at a fixed flow rate.

It is intended for use by Nitrox and Trimix qualified divers for Emergency Oxygen delivery when there is no alternative.

• Nominal Flow rate of 8.8 LPM (STP) with a 9.5 bar Interstage Pressure. 
• Nominal Flow rate of 6.8 LPM (STP) with a 7.5 bar Interstage Pressure. 

These rates were determined to be a reasonable compromise for field applications, effectiveness and gas duration based on advice from GPs, an air ambulance doctor and an anaesthetist.  

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:  

-       Consider your own safety before helping others. Consider the risk of infection and use appropriate barriers.  

-       This product is intended for use by divers who are trained in the use and safety precautions associated with high oxygen % Nitrox and Oxygen.
