Oxygen Flowmeter in South Africa
Leading Oxygen Flowmeter Supplier

An Oxygen Flowmeter is a crucial medical device used to accurately measure and control the rate at which oxygen is delivered to a patient. It acts as a precise regulator, translating the high-pressure oxygen from a cylinder or wall supply into a safe and measurable flow, typically expressed in litres per minute (L/min). This precise control is fundamental for ensuring therapeutic oxygen administration meets specific patient needs, optimising treatment efficacy and patient safety.

The primary function of an oxygen flowmeter is to provide a consistent and adjustable oxygen concentration to patients requiring respiratory support. By allowing healthcare professionals to set the exact millilitres per minute of oxygen, it facilitates tailored oxygen therapy, preventing both under-delivery (which could be ineffective) and over-delivery (which can lead to oxygen toxicity or unwanted physiological changes).

In South Africa, a diverse range of healthcare facilities and departments rely heavily on the precise delivery of medical oxygen, making oxygen flowmeters an indispensable piece of equipment. From large, tertiary teaching hospitals to smaller, community-based clinics, the need for accurate oxygen regulation is critical for patient care and safety. These devices are fundamental across various medical disciplines, ensuring that patients receive the appropriate oxygen concentration and flow rate required for their specific conditions.

Ensuring the correct and safe installation of your oxygen flowmeter is paramount for accurate oxygen delivery and patient safety. Our dedicated technical team in South Africa follows a rigorous process, from initial site preparation to final calibration, to guarantee optimal performance. We understand that each medical facility has unique requirements, and our installation service is designed to be flexible and efficient, minimizing disruption to your operations.

Site Preparation: Before delivery, a preliminary assessment of the installation site will be conducted. This typically involves ensuring a stable, level surface with adequate clearance for the flowmeter and its accessories. Access to a medical-grade oxygen source (wall outlet or cylinder) is crucial, along with a designated area for potential troubleshooting or maintenance. We will work with your facility's engineering or biomedical department to confirm all necessary utilities and safety protocols are in place.

Delivery and Unpacking: Upon arrival, our trained technicians will carefully transport the oxygen flowmeter to the designated installation area. The equipment will be meticulously unpacked, and all components will be inspected for any signs of damage incurred during transit. Any protective packaging will be removed, and the flowmeter will be positioned according to the pre-determined layout.

Installation Steps: The installation process is carried out with precision and adherence to international safety standards. The flowmeter will be securely connected to the medical oxygen supply via appropriate adapters and tubing. All connections will be checked for leaks using specialized detection equipment. If the flowmeter is part of a larger system, such as a ventilator or anaesthesia machine, the integration will be performed according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

Calibration Requirements: Post-installation, a comprehensive calibration is essential to verify the accuracy of the flowmeter's readings. Our technicians will utilize calibrated test equipment to confirm that the delivered oxygen flow rates match the set values across the entire range of the device. This calibration process ensures that patients receive the precise amount of oxygen prescribed by their healthcare providers. A detailed calibration certificate will be provided for your records, confirming the device's compliance and accuracy.

The cost of an oxygen flowmeter in South Africa can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the brand, specific features, whether it's a new or refurbished unit, and the supplier. Generally, you can expect to find new, high-quality medical-grade oxygen flowmeters starting from approximately R1,500 and going up to R5,000 or more for advanced models with specialised attachments or integrated features. Refurbished units, while offering a more budget-friendly option, typically range from R800 to R2,500. It's crucial to ensure that any refurbished equipment has been professionally serviced, calibrated, and certified for medical use to guarantee safety and accuracy.

Factors influencing the price include the material of construction (brass, aluminium, etc.), the precision of the metering mechanism, whether it includes a humidifier bottle adapter, and the overall durability and brand reputation. Always consult with reputable medical equipment suppliers in South Africa to get accurate quotes tailored to your specific needs and budget.
