Maximum-durability polycarbonate construction, long service life, and integrated safety valve make this the workhorse oxygen flowmeter for hospital ward and clinical-pipeline use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIS (Safety Instrumented System)\u003c\/strong\u003e oxygen-specific connection — Australian clinical standard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum durability\u003c\/strong\u003e polycarbonate hood and tube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong service life\u003c\/strong\u003e — designed for hospital ward continuous use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated safety valve\u003c\/strong\u003e — protects downstream equipment and patients from over-pressure events.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0-15 LPM flow range\u003c\/strong\u003e — covers all standard oxygen therapy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGas service: Medical oxygen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlow range: 0-15 LPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInlet: SIS (Safety Instrumented System) for oxygen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstruction: Polycarbonate hood and tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafety: Integrated safety valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSIS — what it is and why it matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sleeve Index System is the Australian-standard quick-connect for medical gas wall pipelines and equipment. Each gas has a unique sleeve geometry (oxygen ≠ medical air ≠ nitrous oxide) — preventing accidental cross-connection of incompatible gases. SIS is mandatory in most Australian clinical facilities; using the SIS-variant flowmeter ensures your equipment connects safely to standard wall-pipeline outlets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFM197BS vs FM197 — which?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFM197BS has the SIS quick-connect inlet. FM197 has a different inlet style (typically threaded).
