Medline Mini Oxygen Regulator, Latex Free, 0 - 25 Liters per Minute, 870 CGA Connection, Brass Sleeve

Excellent no issues would buy again

I wanted a spare regulator, so I decided to go with this one since it looked quite similar to the one I already have from the oxygen provider. I have to say, it's very well made, and has numerous settings from .5 to 25 liters per minute, It came fully ready to go, with the gasket washer in place and everything else. I put it on the tank connected the line and away we went, works well, and I'm pleased so far, I've had it a week and use it every day. Easy to mount on the tank and to take off. I highly recommend this unit for someone looking for a reliable back up or second regulator. Time will tell how it holds up, but so far so good.

This seems to be holding up very well for my mother's back up oxygen tanks. We discovered the regulator supplied by her oxygen supplier was defective and they wanted to charge her 75.00 for a replacement. Of course we told them to stick it and purchased this one on Amazon. It easy to adjust the oxygen delivery, and has held up well being bounced around during transport while she has traveled by car when her battery operated unit's battery has died. It has taken a couple of good hits to the regulator body (it took a 3 foot fall when I dropped a tank with it installed) and hasn't caused it any issues.

Unlike others who bought this, the product I received was an identical match to the unit supplied by the oxygen service. It was also an exact match for the description and part number listed on Amazon. After testing and running through meter, the adjuster on the regulator is determined to be accurate. I shut off the bottle valve and left the regulator adjustment on 2 where my wife needs it to be. Overnight, it lost no pressure. This tells me the seals are good. This is a great addition to a patients oxygen therapy needs when the insurance company is too cheapo to furnish us with a regulator for the larger tank in the car and one for the smaller portable that my wife can handle along with her cane at the same time. The price on this to BUY the regulator is pretty close to the monthly rental rate from the oxygen supply company. What a game they gave rigged for themselves...

The 25 lpm setting works well with a non-rebreather mask to deliver close to 100% O2 efficiently (without waste.) The construction is solid. I have been through over 100 E-cylinders, and it has a few dents from backing over it with the car and tipping over tanks. It works as well as it did the first day. Regulation is consistent from 2200 to about 700 psi.If you like to use up your tanks fully, here is a hint: The 25-lpm setting fades faster than the 8-lpm setting when the reaches about 500 psi. It seems like I get better flow at the 8 lpm setting when I am sucking the last few lungfuls out of a tank :-)If you have Cluster Headache and have never heard of high-flow oxygen therapy, ask your headache specialist about it. If they don't know about it or are not enthusiastic about its effectiveness, you are going to the wrong headache specialist. You can find some excellent studies on the Internet. If you want to be kind to other hapless patients that don't know better, try to educate your soon-to-be-former specialist before you leave.I have had Cluster Headache for over 15 years, chronic for the last 6 years. (At least that long. It took a while to find a specialist who realized what my headache logs meant and gave a diagnosis.) During that time, I dabbled with 4-15 lpm through a nasal cannula. It was less than 50% effective. With the 25 lpm option, a non-rebreather mask, and a 3 liter buffer, my full abort rate is better than 95%. It is well worth your while to try this, combined with an aggressive treatment regimen (start aborting within 3 minutes of noticing onset of pain.)

I have several oxygen tanks. the comany that supplies the oxygen will only give me two regulators so I had to buy. These work great.

Easy install and works flawless.

I use O2 for cluster headaches and wanted to raise the pressure to a higher level. The product works fine -- no complaints.Not sure when I wrote this review, but eventually this regulator finally failed me. It worked fine until the last couple of weeks when its output began dropping accompanied by a sound indicating to me that at 8 lpm it was getting clogged up. I dialed it up to 15 or 20 and the output was fine. But after using it a few days ago, it had a silent leak and drained an entire tank. Normally after use I close the valve on the tank and set the regulator back to zero. This time I failed to close the tank valve, but did dial the regulator to zero which should have been sufficient to contain the oxygen. The bag reservoir was empty, so the leak was inside the device. Now I've ordered a different brand, but the fact that they almost all look identical, all of them green, weigh the same, and are priced similarly makes me wonder if they're all made by the same manufacturer. The regulator supplied by my vendor is a Cramer Decker. After 17 years, I'm only on my second Cramer Decker. My advice to clusterheads is to always have a backup regulator and a couple of the brass and rubber gaskets.
