OxySafe2™ is a thermal fuse engineered to halt gas flow if the downstream cannula or supply tube catches fire. It conforms to VA, ISO and various other regulatory standards. OxySafe2 enhances safety by favoring the self-extinguishing nature of the PVC tube since PVC typically does not sustain combustion in the air. This feature provides healthcare professionals with an economical way to reduce the potential for severe patient harm in the event of an oxygen fire.
The updated model offers bidirectional protection against oxygen fires triggered by patients who smoke, burn candles, cook on stove-top ranges or engage with other open flames during oxygen therapy. These incidents are especially common in home-based oxygen therapy settings, where patient monitoring may be minimal, as well as in healthcare facilities and nursing homes.
