How to pump medical oxygen by krisguy 2002-12-27 07:44:16
People have always wondered what it takes to pump medical O2, so here is a list of what I do:

1. Inspect tanks for physical damage.
2. Look for a retest date on each tank that's 5 years older than today.
3. Check the drug label and re-label if necessary. (USA - O2 is a drug)
4. Steel tanks need to be hit with a hammer to check for internal corrosion.
5. Each tank has to have remaining contents smelled and vented. If a tank is completely dry, nitrogen must be pumped in and then smelled.
6. Tanks must be vacuumed to a pressure of 25 inches Hg at sea level.
7. Pump the tanks. (Procedures vary -- my machine is like a giant milker in reverse -- liquid oxygen vaporized then pumped into cylinders) Test for leaks.
8. Take one tank as a sample and doccument how it analyzes out (% of pure oxygen -- 99.00% minimum)
9. Cap, leak test again, and put a lot sticker on all tanks.
10. Release.

This is a generic view, FDA requires a lot more and doccument everything.

        N2 is odourless. Odours indicate contamination. (n/t) by toxin2002-12-27 10:49:20
