Do You Know How to Use Cylinder of Oxygen Safely?
Cylinder of oxygen can stably output oxygen by storing compressed medical oxygen and cooperating with a pressure reducing valve. When the user inhales, the pressure reducing valve will automatically sense changes in the air flow and continuously deliver oxygen. At home, it can provide oxygen support for patients with chronic respiratory diseases, people with altitude sickness, etc., and relieve the symptoms of oxygen deficiency. In emergency and transfer patients, it can quickly replenish oxygen for hypoxic patients and maintain stable vital signs.

FAQ
What is the difference between cylinder of oxygen and oxygen supply machine?
| Cylinder of oxygen | Oxygen supply machine | |
| Working method | Oxygen is provided by storing compressed oxygen. It is a passive device and does not require electric drive. | Most of them are produced on-site through air separation technology, which requires power support and is an active equipment. |
| Portability | Small size, light weight, easy to carry | It is relatively large in size and inconvenient to move |
| Oxygen supply | The capacity is limited, and the oxygen supply time is limited by the amount of oxygen in the tank | Sustainable oxygen production, as long as there is electricity supply, it can supply oxygen for a long time |
| Applicable scenarios | Suitable for short-term and mobile scenarios | Suitable for long-term, fixed place use, such as long-term oxygen therapy at home |
Under what circumstances will cylinder of oxygen explode?
1. Cylinder of oxygen is subjected to severe impact, extrusion and other external forces, which will cause the tank to break.
2. The cylinder of oxygen bottle body exceeds its service life, the material ages, and the pressure resistance decreases.
3. When cylinder of oxygen comes into contact with an open flame and a high temperature environment, the oxygen in the tank expands by heat, and the increase in pressure will cause an explosion.
4. If filling is carried out in violation of regulations, an explosion may also occur if the maximum pressure of the tank is exceeded.
5. The oxygen cylinder valve and other components are damaged, and the oxygen leaks. If it is mixed with the air, it will explode if it encounters a fire source.
How to use and operate portable oxygen tank correctly?
Before use, check whether the outside of the portable oxygen tank is damaged or corroded, whether the valve is intact, and the pressure gauge shows whether it is normal. It is necessary to install the oxygen suction pipe, pressure reducing valve and other accessories correctly to ensure that the connection is tight and there is no air leakage. According to the needs of the user and the recommendations of the doctor, the oxygen flow is adjusted through the pressure reducing valve. Then the user places the oxygen suction tube in the nasal cavity to maintain the correct breathing method. Observe the changes in the pressure gauge during use, pay attention to whether there is air leakage, and do not shake the tank violently. After use, close the valve, remove the accessories, and store them safely.
How to maintain and maintain portable oxygen tank for home and hospital medical use?
We must check the appearance, valves, pressure gauges, etc. of the portable oxygen tank once a week, and deal with them in time if we find problems. Keep the surface of the tank clean, and the oxygen suction tube and other accessories should be cleaned and disinfected regularly. Portable oxygen tank should be stored in a cool, ventilated, and dry place, away from fire and heat sources, away from direct sunlight, and away from flammable and explosive items. The oxygen tank should be sent to a professional institution for testing on a regular basis in accordance with regulations to ensure the safety performance of the portable oxygen tank.
FAQ：
Question: Can the oxygen in the portable oxygen tank be refilled after it runs out?
Reply: If the portable oxygen tank meets the safety standards, it can be filled by a professional institution.
Question: Will there be side effects from taking oxygen for too long?
Answer: Healthy people do not need additional oxygen inhalation. Patients with long-term high-flow oxygen inhalation may produce oxygen poisoning, and they must strictly follow the doctor's instructions.
Question: Why does the nose feel dry when inhaling oxygen?
Answer: Because the rapid oxygen flow rate may dry the nasal mucosa, it is recommended to use it with a humidifier or choose a model with humidification function.
