Re: What Changes Would You Make to A Meg?

What I meant about this was if you go off loop (or are rescuing someone unconscious with a hyperoxic mix but still breathing), and wished to flush the loop, the existing set up doesn't really work as the you only flush the volume between the ADV and the OPV. If there was another OPV on the bottom of the inhale CL, then a majority of the loop volume could be flushed without the requirement of having the mouthpeice in your mouth (or having a concious casualty allowing flushed gas to escape from his mouthpeice).

Make sense?

On pressuring the sensors, what if plugs were made that screw into the threads on the head (where the hoses screw in). One plug contains an O2 nipple, and another an adjustable pressure relief valve and a gauge. You pressure up the entire scrubber to the pressure you want, and monitor the mV's? No differential pressure on the sensors (I think)
