Oxygen-related fires and explosions can result in serious injury or death. According to our manufacturers, products described as "Nitrox Ready" or "Oxygen Service" are compatible with oxygen and factory cleaned for use with oxygen. Nonetheless, the 'clean state' of equipment applies only prior to initial use. Thereafter, periodic inspection and cleaning are a necessity. You must meticulously follow the recommendations of the US Department of Transportation (DOT), Compressed Gas Association (CGA), and other federal/state/local agencies, plus your training agency for equipment maintenance, handling, storage, labeling, filling, transport and use of compressed gases, including those containing more than 23.5% oxygen. Ultimately, you must make the final decision to assume all risks associated with the use of any compressed gases.
