This is a warning label attached to a compressed gas cylinder containing USP grade oxygen. It is intended for emergency use only by trained personnel to alleviate oxygen deficiency and resuscitation. The uninterrupted and prolonged use of high concentrations of oxygen without monitoring its effect on arterial blood may be dangerous. The cylinder contains a high-pressure oxidizing gas that can accelerate combustion. The cylinder should only be used with appropriate equipment and apparatus rated for cylinder pressure and designed for oxygen service. The valve should be opened and closed slowly and kept free of oil and grease to prevent violent ignition. It is illegal to fill the cylinder with any gas, except oxygen USP by registered drug manufacturers. The cylinder should be stored in temperatures lower than 125°F. The label warns against improper filing or abuse, altering or modifying the cylinder, or related components and over-pressurizing it. The cylinder, valves, and assemblies must be cleaned and tested regularly for effective and safe use. Cylinder content and pressure must be verified monthly, or more frequently if required. Proper ventilation is necessary during storage and use. There is information about pressure and cylinder size and contents.*

This is a warning label and description for a container of USP Oxygen in liquid form for medical use. It contains safety precautions such as not smoking around the container or any oxygen, wearing gloves and a face shield for liquid withdrawal, and not using it on patients who have stopped breathing unless accompanied by resuscitative equipment. The label also warns that oxygen vigorously accelerates combustion and can cause severe frostbite if the liquid comes into contact with skin or clothing. The container must be stored and used with adequate ventilation, and the valve must be closed after each use. The manufacturer is Air Liquefaction and the distributor is Wright & Filippis in Rochester Hills, Michigan.*
