SEL Number: 09ME-02-OXYE
Title: Equipment, Oxygen


Last Updated: 11/30/2023 2:08:05 PM

Previous SEL Number: 09ME-02-OXYE

Description: Durable oxygen equipment (e.g., cylinders, regulators, manifolds, etc.) to facilitate the storage and delivery of medical oxygen.

ImportantFeatures: All devices should be intrinsically safe relative to high pressures and flammability. Intrinsically safe equipment is defined as "equipment and wiring which is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy under normal or abnormal conditions to cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture in its most easily ignited concentration." (ISA-RP12.6)

Operating Considerations: All equipment should be lightweight and easily stored in the intended usage environment. Consider infection control and related maintenance issues, and impact resistance features of gauges and other vulnerable impact points.
Devices should be adaptable for multipatient oxygen administration, and be able to support mechanical ventilation as well as noninvasive ventilation. See also 09MS-02-OXYA.
