The Sunset Healthcare OxySafe Firesafe Cannula Valve Helps protect against oxygen tubing fires using a thermal fuse designed to stop the flow of gas in the event that the downstream oxygen tubing is ignited. Thereby, the product helps to improve patient safety by tremendously reducing the impact of oxygen-aided fires with the Firesafe Cannula Valve.
Install two OxySafe valves per patient, one as close to the patient as possible and one as close to the oxygen source as possible. This way, both the patient and the source of oxygen are protected, minimizing risk of a disastrous fire. When installing the OxySafe close to the patient, we recommend using a cannula without a built-in supply tube so the valve can be as close to the patient as possible.
