Entonox Regulator: Features and Usage

1. Unique Schrader Valve

Designed for Safety:

• On one end of the pipe, there's a Schrader valve.
• The Schrader valve is exclusive to Entonox cylinders and won't fit oxygen cylinders, ensuring accident prevention.
• The blue and white colour scheme of the pipe clearly identifies it as an Entonox giving set.
• The regulator head is also colour-coded blue and white to eliminate any chances of confusion.

2. Adjustable Regulator Head

Flexible Control:

• The regulator head is adjustable and pivotable.
• It features a flush button, primarily used for depressurization when detaching the cylinder or pipe.
• The flush button should not be used for administering Entonox.
• At the top, there's a blower valve, and the patient receives the Entonox through a dedicated port.

3. Sterile Mouthpiece

Single-Use and Hygienic:

• The port for patient inhalation includes a sterile, sealed mouthpiece.
• The mouthpiece has a flat part designed for insertion into the patient's mouth.
• It's a one-time use item, ensuring hygiene and avoiding multiple use.

4. One-Way Valve

Preventing Contamination:

• A one-way valve in the system prevents vapour, spit, or sputum from flowing back into the unit.
• This valve maintains the cleanliness of the Entonox delivery system.

5. Self-Administration

Proper Usage:

• When self-administering Entonox, patients must understand how it works.
• The patient initiates gas administration by sucking on the pipe.
• Entonox will only be administered when the patient actively engages by sucking; no suction means no gas delivery.
