Amvex FM-15UO-OH 15 LPM Thorpe Oxygen Flowmeter – Ohmeda/Ohio Quick-Connect

The Amvex FM-15UO-OH is a high-precision, hospital-grade oxygen flowmeter designed for the accurate administration of medical oxygen. Featuring a classic Thorpe-style flow tube, this unit is calibrated for 0–15 LPM delivery. It comes factory-equipped with a male Ohmeda/Ohio quick-connect adapter, ensuring a seamless and secure "snap-in" connection to standard medical gas wall outlets.

To ensure patient safety, this flowmeter is back-pressure compensated. This means the needle valve is located downstream of the flow tube; even if a humidifier or long nasal cannula creates resistance in the line, the float will continue to indicate the actual flow being delivered to the patient. Its rugged construction and easy-to-read, color-coded graduations make it a dependable staple for high-acuity respiratory environments.
