    No-flow alarm disabled in respironics EverFlo oxygen concentrators equipped with optional low-flow flowmeter.

    • Health Devices. 2011 Apr 1; 40 (4): 139-40.

    AbstractRespironics EverFlo oxygen concentrators can be equipped with an optional internal low-flow flowmeter, but when this flowmeter is in place, the unit will not alarm for no-flow conditions. Facilities should consider using an oxygen concentrator other than the EverFlo for pediatric patients, who may be harmed by a loss of supplemental oxygen. Facilities that choose to continue using the EverFlo with the low-flow flowmeter should ensure that pediatric patients are appropriately monitored, such as with a pulse oximeter.
