In diving operations, the use of oxygen is essential for the 

human metabolism. In addition, oxygen concentration levels 

greater  than  in  air,  can  improve  safety,  especially  but  not 

only, by lowering the risk for DCS and Nitrogen narcosis.

The  Poseidon  Xstream  Deco/Oxygen  is  approved  for  use 

with  gaseous  oxygen  up  to  99.95  %  purity  at  maximum 

300 bar supply  pressure  and  a maximum  gas  temperature 

of 60˚C. The Poseidon Xstream Duration90/Duration/Dura-

tion EN 144-3 is also approved for use with gaseous oxygen 

up to 99,95 % purity at maximum 300 bar supply pressure 

and a maximum gas temperature of 60˚C

Using gaseous mixtures containing oxygen at high pressure 

always presents a certain level of risk for equipment failure 

due  to  combustion.  Greater  concentration  oxygen,  greater 

pressure, greater temperature, respectively represents fac-

tors that contributes to increase the mentioned risk.

Therefore, Poseidon has taken every precaution using “sta-

te  of  the  art”  technology,  expertise,  industrial  standards, 

and  knowledge  to  lower  the  risk  as  far  as  possible.  Both 

Xstream  Deco  /  Oxygen  and  Xstream  Duration  are  engi-

neered  for  oxygen  use,  assembled  and  cleaned  in  a  clean 

room environment, made up by materials chosen to expose 

lowest possible risk x failure-effect product, and are tested 

and approved for oxygen use.

It  is  strictly  prohibited  to  use  the  Poseidon  Xstream  Oxy-

gen/Deco/Duration/Duration90  with  oxygen  (ref.  “defini-

tions”) without being fully trained and certified in the use 

of oxygen by a recognised training agency. Failure to have 

such training and certification could lead to death or serious 

personal injury.

It is likewise absolutely essential that the end user strictly 

follows the mandatory guidelines given in the users manual 

for the Xstream models. Regular maintenan-

ce,  servicing  and  cleaning  is  a  prerequisite 

for keeping the risk as low as possible.

Servicing  and  cleaning  must  be  carried  out 

by an authorised oxygen service dealer. Po-

seidon has developed and verified a servicing 

and  cleaning  method,  which  guarantee  ac-

ceptable levels of contaminations. Poseidon 

can not be held responsible for the effects of 

other un-verified cleaning and servicing methods.

Failure  to  adhere  to  these  mandatory  requirements  trans-

fers the responsibility to the owner.

Poseidon will continue to develop products and components 

which further readuses the risks involved with oxygen use. 

Releasing  such  products  and  components  is  not  an  admit-

tance that previously released items must be recalled. It is 

in everyone’s interest to always strive for lowering risks.
