Rhythm Healthcare Pediatric Oxygen Flowmeter for Low-Flow Oxygen Therapy
The Rhythm Healthcare FMP01 Pediatric Oxygen Flowmeter provides precise control at very low oxygen flow settings when used with a compatible stationary oxygen concentrator. It adjusts oxygen output from 0 to ¾ LPM (0–750 cc/min) in small 1/16 LPM (50 cc/min) increments.
Designed for prescribed low-flow oxygen therapy, the FMP01 operates from oxygen supplied by a compatible stationary concentrator and does not require electricity. Its easy-to-read flowmeter, integrated tabletop stand, and compact 1.5 lb. design make it practical for home oxygen setups requiring finer flow adjustment than a standard concentrator flowmeter provides.
The FMP01 also comes with the connection components needed for its intended setup, including oxygen tubing, a connector, humidifier bottle adapter, and instructions.

Who Is This Pediatric Oxygen Flowmeter For?
The Rhythm Healthcare FMP01 is designed for prescribed low-flow oxygen therapy when a compatible stationary oxygen concentrator does not provide sufficiently fine adjustment at the required low flow rate.
It may be appropriate when:
-
The prescribed oxygen flow is below the normal adjustment range of the supplying concentrator
-
More precise low-flow adjustment is required
-
The prescribed setting falls within the FMP01's 0–¾ LPM output range
-
A compatible stationary oxygen concentrator is already being used
-
A compact, non-electric low-flow adjustment device is needed as part of the prescribed oxygen setup
The appropriate oxygen flow rate must be determined by the patient's healthcare provider. Do not use this device to independently determine or change a prescribed oxygen flow setting.

How the Pediatric Oxygen Flowmeter Works
The FMP01 does not produce or concentrate oxygen. Instead, it works between a compatible stationary oxygen concentrator and the patient's oxygen delivery setup to provide finer control at low flow settings.
For the specified setup, the supplying oxygen concentrator provides 2 LPM input to the pediatric flowmeter. The FMP01 then allows the output to be adjusted between 0 and ¾ LPM (0–750 cc/min) according to the prescribed setting.
Because the flowmeter operates using the oxygen supplied by the concentrator, it does not require a separate electrical power source.
Precise Low-Flow Adjustment
One of the primary advantages of the FMP01 is its ability to provide much smaller flow adjustments than a standard concentrator flowmeter.
Output can be adjusted in increments of:
1/16 LPM = 50 cc/min
This provides fine adjustment across the unit's 0–750 cc/min output range.
The prescribed setting should always come from the patient's healthcare provider.
Oxygen Concentrator Compatibility
The FMP01 requires an oxygen source capable of providing the manufacturer's specified:
-
2 LPM oxygen input
-
5 ± 0.5 PSI input pressure
Rhythm Healthcare specifically identifies a standard stationary oxygen concentrator such as the Rhythm Healthcare LM5BA as an example of the type of oxygen source designed to operate the pediatric flowmeter.
Compatibility with another concentrator should not be assumed based only on brand or maximum LPM capacity. The supplying equipment should meet the FMP01's required technical specifications.
Already have an oxygen concentrator? Contact State Medical Equipment with the brand and model number before purchasing, and we can help compare its specifications with the FMP01 requirements.
Compact, Non-Electric Design
The FMP01 measures approximately:
-
4.72" long
-
4.76" wide
-
5.93" high
-
1.5 lbs.
The integrated stand creates a compact tabletop setup that can be positioned with the compatible stationary oxygen equipment.
Because the flowmeter is powered by the supplied oxygen pressure, no electricity or battery is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a pediatric oxygen flowmeter do?
The FMP01 allows oxygen from a compatible stationary concentrator to be adjusted to very low flow settings in smaller increments than many standard concentrator flowmeters provide.
Does the FMP01 produce oxygen?
No. The pediatric flowmeter does not generate or concentrate oxygen. It requires oxygen supplied by a compatible stationary oxygen concentrator.
What is the flow range of the FMP01?
The output is adjustable from 0 to ¾ LPM (0–750 cc/min).
How small are the flow adjustments?
The FMP01 adjusts in 1/16 LPM (50 cc/min) increments.
What oxygen input does the FMP01 require?
Rhythm Healthcare specifies an oxygen input of 2 LPM at 5 ± 0.5 PSI.
Does the pediatric flowmeter require electricity?
No. The FMP01 operates using the oxygen supplied by the compatible concentrator and requires no electrical power.
Can I use the FMP01 with any oxygen concentrator?
Compatibility should not be assumed. The supplying concentrator must meet the FMP01's specified oxygen input and pressure requirements. Rhythm Healthcare specifically identifies its LM5BA stationary concentrator as a compatible example.
Can State Medical Equipment check whether my concentrator is compatible?
Yes. Contact us with the brand and model number of your existing oxygen concentrator so we can help compare its specifications with the FMP01 requirements.
Does the FMP01 come with oxygen tubing?
Yes. The manufacturer package includes one 25 ft. crushproof tube and two 7 ft. tubes, along with a connector and humidifier bottle adapter.
