Contact NIOSH (1-800-35-NIOSH) toreceive NIOSH Publications on Control of Nitrous Oxidein Dental Operatories. Exposure can be minimized byeffective controls. National Institute for OccupationalSafety and Health (NIOSH) publications state thatcontrols, including System Maintenance, Ventilationand Work Practices can effectively reduce N2Oconcentrations in patient procedures. Your flowmeteraccessory Porter scavenger system is an important partof the system of controls.WARNING: Porter Instrument equipment utilizes thecross+protection system. The flexible hose andconnectors that connect to the flowmeter are diameterindexed; 3/8” O.D. for Nitrous Oxide and ½” for Oxygen.The cross+protection system is designed to preventmisconnection of Oxygen and Nitrous Oxide piping.
