Medical oxygen is an essential resource in the healthcare industry and is used to treat a wide range of respiratory conditions. To ensure the safety and quality of medical oxygen, there are specific label requirements that must be followed for high-pressure and liquid oxygen containers.

High-pressure oxygen cylinders must be labeled with the following information:

• Name of the gas
• Chemical symbol for oxygen (O2)
• Nominal cylinder pressure
• Manufacturer's name or trademark
• Must indicate it is for medical use only

Liquid oxygen containers must be labeled with similar information, including:

• Name of the gas
• Chemical symbol for oxygen (O2)
• Manufacturer's name or trademark
• Must include the words "liquid oxygen" and the capacity of the container

Both high-pressure and liquid oxygen containers must also be labeled with safety information, including instructions for safe handling, storage and transport. Labels should also warn against exposing the container to heat or flames and provide emergency contact information in case of an accident or spill. 

Medical oxygen containers must be labeled correctly to prevent any confusion or misuse of the gas. The label provides essential information for healthcare professionals and ensures that the oxygen is being used safely and effectively.

In addition to label requirements, it is essential to follow proper storage and handling procedures for medical oxygen to prevent any accidents or injuries and to treat patients effectively.
