The BPC Flow Meter (Brass Body) is a precision oxygen flow regulation device designed for use in hospitals, emergency care units, ICUs, and bedside oxygen administration systems. Commonly used by respiratory therapists, anaesthesia teams, and critical care clinicians, the unit enables controlled oxygen delivery during respiratory support and patient stabilisation. Manufactured with a durable brass body construction, this oxygen flow meter is suitable for integration with central gas pipeline systems and oxygen cylinder setups in clinical environments. Its calibrated flow control mechanism supports accurate oxygen administration across routine ward care, post-operative recovery, and emergency respiratory management applications.
CLINICAL USE CONTEXT
The BPC Flow Meter is routinely utilised in oxygen therapy administration within intensive care units, post-anaesthesia recovery rooms, emergency departments, and ambulance care settings. Clinicians use the device to regulate oxygen flow rates during respiratory distress management, perioperative oxygen supplementation, and non-invasive oxygen support procedures. In ICU and high-dependency settings, respiratory therapists and nursing teams rely on calibrated flow adjustment to maintain prescribed oxygen delivery parameters. The unit may also be integrated with humidifier bottles during prolonged oxygen therapy to minimise airway dryness in adult and paediatric patients. Its brass body construction supports repeated use in demanding clinical environments where consistent gas flow regulation is required.

FAQ
1. What is the primary use of the BPC Flow Meter (Brass Body)?
The device is used to regulate and monitor oxygen flow delivered from an oxygen source to a patient. It is commonly installed with oxygen cylinders or central gas pipeline systems in hospitals, clinics, and emergency care settings.
2. Can this flow meter be used in ICU and emergency departments?
Yes, the flow meter is suitable for ICU, emergency room, and bedside oxygen administration applications. It is commonly used during respiratory support, post-operative oxygen therapy, and emergency patient stabilisation.
3. Is the brass body suitable for repeated hospital use?
Brass body flow meters are generally selected for environments requiring durable and repeated clinical handling. Proper maintenance and institutional decontamination protocols help maintain functional performance during routine hospital use.
4. Does this oxygen flow meter support humidifier bottle attachment?
Most standard oxygen flow meter systems are compatible with oxygen humidifier bottles used during prolonged oxygen therapy. Compatibility should be verified with the existing oxygen delivery setup before clinical use.
5. Can this product be sterilised?
The external surfaces may be cleaned and disinfected according to institutional biomedical equipment protocols. Full sterilisation methods should only be applied if recommended by the manufacturer or biomedical engineering department.
SAFETY DISCLAIMER
This product is intended for use by trained medical professionals and authorised healthcare personnel only. Users should verify compatibility with existing oxygen delivery systems and follow institutional protocols for installation, decontamination, and maintenance before clinical use. Always inspect gas flow equipment for functional integrity prior to patient administration.
