Where it fits in the range
The 197M Oxygen Regulator is the simpler, fixed-pressure variant in the Gentec 197M family. The 197M Medical Gas Regulator (separate SKU, AU$320) adds an adjustable yoke; the 197M-870-YSC and 197M-950-YSC variants add pin-index yoke designs for specific cylinder valve types. Pick the 197M Oxygen Regulator for standard Australian SIS oxygen output without yoke-system complexity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does AS 2896 SIS mean?
Australian Standard 2896 specifies the Sleeve Index System for medical gas connections. SIS connections are gas-specific (oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical air) — preventing cross-connection of incompatible gases. Use the right SIS for the gas you're delivering.
Is 80 L/min enough?
For most clinical uses, yes. High-flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) and some specialist applications may need higher output — for those, look at the 197M-870-YSC (300 L/min max).
What's the service interval really?
3-year scheduled service per Gentec recommendation. Mark service dates on your equipment maintenance log; compliance with AS3840.1 typically requires documented service history.
