INSIGHTS

Medical oxygen tanks should be stored upright, secured with straps or a rack, and kept away from heat sources or flammable materials. Always ensure valves are closed when not in use and that protective caps are in place during transport. Label tanks clearly and inspect regulators, hoses, and fittings for damage before use. Proper storage reduces safety hazards and ensures reliable performance when oxygen is needed.

Liquid nitrogen must be handled with insulated gloves and eye protection due to its extremely low temperature. Store dewars in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat. Regularly check pressure relief valves and never seal containers airtight. Maintain an inventory schedule so your practice never runs low during procedures, particularly for cryosurgical or laboratory applications.

OMOS recommends annual inspections and calibration of nitrous oxide and oxygen delivery systems — especially in dental settings — to ensure safe performance and help meet professional and regulatory expectations. These checks verify proper gas flow, leak-free connections, and accurate calibration so your equipment is safe for patient use and compliant with industry standards.

OMOS emergency oxygen kits include a full E-size oxygen cylinder, regulator (0–15 L/min), adult and pediatric masks, nasal cannula, tubing, cart, cylinder wrench, and a bag-valve mask (BVM) – and other accessories available. This kit equips your team to address respiratory or sedation emergencies effectively, providing immediate oxygen support until further care is available.

Clean regulators, masks, and tubing according to manufacturer instructions, and inspect components routinely for wear, cracks, or contamination. Replace any worn or compromised pieces promptly. Keep accessories stored clean and dry. Regular maintenance helps ensure accurate flow delivery and reduces infection risk, supporting safe patient care.

Hydrostatic testing checks a cylinder’s structural integrity and ability to hold pressure safely. OMOS performs tests on steel, aluminum, and carbon fibre cylinders following regulatory guidelines. This process detects leaks, cracks, or weaknesses, helping prevent unsafe failures and ensuring your equipment remains compliant and reliable for clinical use.

Schedule deliveries based on your clinic’s usage patterns and inventory levels. For busy dental clinics or veterinary practices, this may mean more frequent deliveries to avoid running low. Planning ahead ensures you always have adequate oxygen, nitrous oxide, or other gases on hand, preventing disruptions to patient care.

A dedicated gas delivery service saves time and reduces logistical burdens on your team. OMOS handles secure transportation, setup, and exchange of cylinders, so you can focus on patient care. Regular, reliable deliveries help you avoid last-minute shortages and support consistent clinical operations.

Fire and paramedic teams rely on ready-to-use, high-quality medical gases and dependable equipment. OMOS ensures clean, properly certified cylinders and emergency kits are available so responders can deliver life-saving oxygen quickly and confidently in the field.

Immediately remove the damaged equipment from service, secure the gas supply, and contact OMOS for replacement or maintenance support. Leaks or visible damage can compromise safety and performance, so it’s important to address them promptly with professional help.

Contact OMOS by phone or through their website to discuss your facility’s needs. We can assess your current inventory, schedule deliveries and inspections, and recommend a maintenance plan that fits your practice.
