Summary:A gas flow arrestor (10) is provided that is configured to be coupled at one end to an oxygen concentrator, a Valve with integrated pressure regulator (VIPR) type device associated with a compressed gas cylinder, or other gas delivery component such as a regulator or flowmeter and at the opposing end to a length of flexible tubing or hose that delivers the medical gas to the patient or patient breathing apparatus, such as a nasal cannula or breathing mask. The gas flow arrestor device includes a firebreak (40) together with a visual flow indicator (50) that is actuated by the flow of gas through the gas flow arrestor device. The visual flow indicator allows a user or patient to visually confirm from a distance whether or not gas is flowing to the patient or breathing apparatus. Se proporciona un supresor de flujo de gas (10) que se configura para acoplarse en un extremo a un concentrador de oxígeno, una válvula con un dispositivo de tipo regulador de presión integrado (VIPR, por sus siglas en inglés) asociado con un cilindro de gas comprimido u otro componente de suministro de gas, tal como un regulador o medidor de flujo y en el extremo opuesto a un tramo de tubo flexible o manguera que suministra el gas médico al paciente o al aparato respiratorio del paciente, tal como una cánula nasal o máscara respiratoria. El dispositivo supresor de flujo de gas incluye un cortafuegos (40) junto con un indicador de flujo visual (50) que se acciona mediante el flujo de gas a través del dispositivo supresor de flujo de gas. El indicador de flujo visual permite al usuario o paciente confirmar visualmente a distancia si el gas fluye o no hacia el paciente o el aparato respiratorio.
