The UNITOR MediSelect II MEDCONTROL 4700 is a precision-engineered, high-performance medical oxygen regulator designed for critical and general care applications in hospitals, clinics, and emergency medical services. It ensures the safe, accurate, and reliable delivery of medical oxygen from a high-pressure cylinder to a patient.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Precise Flow Control & Delivery:
-
Integrated Flowmeter:Â Features a clear, easy-to-read flowmeter (typically calibrated from 0 to 15 LPM) for accurate adjustment of oxygen delivery to the patient.
-
Consistent Outlet Pressure:Â Maintains a stable, pre-set outlet pressure, ensuring consistent performance for connected devices like ventilators or anesthesia machines.
-
-
Enhanced Safety & Reliability:
-
Color-Coded & Labeled:Â Clearly marked with oxygen-specific colors (white/black) and “OXYGEN” labeling to prevent cross-connection, a critical safety feature.

Safety Warnings & Precautions
-
FOR USE WITH MEDICAL OXYGEN ONLY. Do not use with any other gas.
-
NO OIL OR GREASE:Â Never lubricate the regulator or cylinder valve. Contact with hydrocarbons in the presence of high-pressure oxygen can cause a violent fire or explosion.
-
Inspect before use:Â Check the regulator and cylinder for damage, dirt, or oil contamination. Ensure the cylinder is securely fastened.
-
Open cylinder valve slowly and stand to the side of the gauge faces during opening.
-
Use only by trained and authorized medical personnel.
