On the Resuscitation Council website, it states that a CD sized cylinder should be used

CD is a brand name; the Baywater Healthcare equivalent is the Freedom 400. The term “CD size” has been used on the Resuscitation Council website as an example only. Baywater Healthcare Recovery Oxygen packages are fully compliant with relevant legislation relating to the provision of medical oxygen.

My current supplier services our cylinders on a yearly basis – is this required?

Baywater Healthcare cylinders do NOT require any maintenance or servicing within the shelf life of the cylinder. Prior to being delivered, our cylinders are fully tested, which means they require no additional servicing for three years. Baywater Healthcare contact you three months prior to the cylinder expiry date to arrange a suitable time for a replacement cylinder to be issued.

We will endeavour to contact you approximately three months before your cylinder’s expiry to arrange a replacement. However, please note that this timeframe is based on the last delivery date rather than the fill date/expiry date printed on the cylinder, so there may be a discrepancy of a few weeks. For this reason, we recommend checking your cylinders regularly, each week to ensure that they are in date and fit for use.

What do you receive as part of the Baywater Healthcare Recovery Oxygen Package?

The Baywater Healthcare Recovery Oxygen Package includes:

  • Your choice of large static cylinders (B10) and/or standard portable cylinders (F400) with integral valve
  • 1 x adult non-rebreathe mask – per portable cylinder (F400)
  • 2 x adult non-rebreathe masks – per static cylinder (B10)
  • Tubing
  • Compliance certification
  • Advice and regulatory information
  • COSHH documentation
  • Oxygen safety signage

Where can I find the cylinder expiry date?

The cylinder expiry date is indicated on the barcoded sticker, which is usually situated on the shoulder of each cylinder. Please pay particular attention to this label. Medical oxygen is not suitable for use after the date indicated.

How do I know when to replace a cylinder?

It is important that you check the contents gauge on the cylinder before and after use to establish approximately how much oxygen is left in it.

When a cylinder is delivered, it is full and the needle in the gauge is in the green sector. This is the pressure the cylinder is filled to, and due to external temperature changes, the gauge may move within the green section.

If the contents gauge is showing red, the cylinder is empty and needs to be replaced.

Please refer to our Recovery Oxygen Cylinder Durations document for further guidance, including approximate cylinder durations based on flow rate.
