1. Inspection checks to be performed by the user
before initial use
a.
Check that a clear plastic heat shrink wrap with Air
Liquide Healthcare logo is intact, and fully covers the
shroud (refer Fig 1). Check that the cylinder is clean and
free from oil and grease.
b.
Check outlet protective caps are in place prior to
removing wrap. When possible always replace the caps
when not in use (refer Fig 1).
c.
Check that the valve is in the red “O” OFF position (refer
Fig 2). View the front of the valve assembly and identify
all the components (the barbed and sleeved outlets and
the pressure gauge).
d.
Check that the pressure gauge shows the cylinder is
fully charged and check that the pressure indicated on
the gauge matches the pressure on the product label. If
the cylinder has already been used, check the
pressure gauge to ensure there is sufficient medical
oxygen left. The coloured sections are an indication of
the available contents:
• Green: Sufficient contents
• Yellow: Contents are getting low
• Red: Contents are low. Discontinue use and
replace with a full one
e.
Check the product label to ensure that the gas matches
the application. Read the operating instructions
provided on the label fitted to the side of the shroud
(refer Fig 3).
If any deviation is observed do not use the cylinder
and contact your nearest Air Liquide Healthcare
office on 1300 360 202.
