Mott Flow Restrictors
in Anesthesia Delivery Systems

CRITICAL COMPONENT FOR
SAFE CONTROL OF GAS FLOWS

FARMINGTON, Conn., March 11, 2003 – Mott's sintered metal precision flow restrictors are used in the gas circuitry of anesthesia delivery systems and other critical flow devices. Due to economic and environmental benefits, there has been a growing interest in low flow anesthesia. Low flow anesthesia techniques are considered a means of elimination or reducing atmospheric pollutants, as well as reducing the consumption of expensive anesthesia agents. Mott flow restrictors are used in anesthesia delivery systems, maintaining a minimum oxygen flow and non-hazardous gas mixtures of nitrous oxide, helium and or carbon dioxide.

Mott porous metal flow restrictors are custom manufactured and calibrated to the flow and pressure specifications of each customer. Mott restrictors have no moving parts and provide consistent, repeatable, close tolerance flow rates. Used in conjunction with flow meters, valves, and alarm sensors of the gas circuitry, they provide the optimum balance between performance and cost effectiveness.

In addition to consistent certified flow rates, these restrictors are resistant to plugging and fouling and are constructed of non-shedding compatible materials. Standard designs make them easily fitted into present gas circuitry designs.

Mott Corporation has been ISO 9001 certified since 1997 and manufactures a variety of filtration and flow control devices from porous metal. It serves industrial and high purity customers worldwide through such industries as chemical, instrumentation, medical device, semiconductor, energy, food and beverage, and environmental.
