Oxygen Gas
Product Images NDC 55151-123

This is a warning label for a refrigerated liquid oxygen container labeled as US.P. UN1073. The container should always be kept upright and not modify the connections. The product is only for emergency use in cases of oxygen deficiency and resuscitation. Misuse of high concentrations of oxygen can be harmful without proper monitoring of its effects on arterial blood oxygen levels. Liquid oxygen is an extremely cold and oxidizing substance and should be used only with equipment prepared for oxygen service with adequate ventilation. It should not contact oil, grease, or any combustible materials, and careful handling is necessary to avoid frostbite. In case of frostbite, medical attention should be sought immediately. The container is produced by air liquefaction, and the contact information for the manufacturer is included.*

This is a warning label for compressed oxygen gas. Oxygen can be administered by properly trained personnel for emergency use only in situations where there is oxygen deficiency and resuscitation. When oxygen is continuously used with high concentrations without monitoring its effect on oxygen content of arterial blood, it may be harmful. Oxygen should be used with pressure reducing equipment and apparatus that is designed for oxygen. It is not for use on patients who have stopped breathing unless resuscitative equipment is available. This product is produced by Air Liquefaction. Additionally, this is a high-pressure oxidizing gas that accelerates combustion and should not be used with oil and grease. It has to be used with adequate ventilation, and backflow preventative device in the piping. Use equipment that is cleaned for oxygen service and rated for cylinder pressure. Close valve after each use and cylinder temperature should not exceed 52°C (125°F). There are different sizes of the oxygen cylinders available. No other information is provided.*
