About this equipment
A cylinder holds compressed medical oxygen and delivers it through a regulator, which means it works with no electricity at all. That single property is why almost every oxygen-dependent patient at home should have one even if they also have a concentrator: when the power goes, the concentrator stops and the cylinder does not. Sizes run from small portable units for a hospital visit or a trip to the clinic, up to large static cylinders for continuous supply. The trade-off is that a cylinder empties, and someone has to notice before it does.
Indications — when this is used
- Backup oxygen for a patient dependent on a concentrator
- Transport to and from hospital or clinic appointments
- Short-term oxygen therapy after discharge
- Any home where the power supply is unreliable
Who it is for
- Oxygen-dependent patients and their families
- Home ICU setups needing an uninterruptible source
- Clinics, ambulances and small facilities

Also know about
The things that are easy to find out too late.
Refilling is on you to schedule
A cylinder gives no warning beyond the pressure gauge. Read it daily and arrange the refill at a quarter full, not when it runs out at 3 AM.
It must be secured upright
A full D-type cylinder weighs around 60 kg. Toppled, it can injure someone or shear the valve. It stays on the trolley or chained to a wall — never propped against furniture.
Cold hands at high flow
Gas expanding through the regulator gets cold. This is normal, but it is why the regulator should not be adjusted with wet hands in winter.
Same fire rules as a concentrator
Oxygen enrichment makes everything nearby burn faster. No flame, no smoking, no oil-based emollient on the patient's face.
Safety & clinical information
Device information, not medical advice. Suitability for a particular patient is a decision for the treating clinician.
How it is installed and used
Delivered upright on a trolley or secured to a wall bracket. The technician fits the regulator, checks for leaks at the valve, sets the prescribed flow, fills the humidifier with distilled water, and shows the carer how to read the contents gauge and when to call for a refill.
Before delivery
A prescribed flow rate from the treating clinician is required before delivery — oxygen is not supplied on a guessed setting. Confirm a stable power supply, and for oxygen-dependent patients arrange a backup cylinder or an inverter rated for the unit's continuous load.
Ongoing care and servicing
The gross particle filter is washed weekly and the outlet filter replaced per the manufacturer's schedule. Oxygen saturation should be monitored as directed by the treating clinician, and any change in flow rate must come from them, not from the family.
When not to use it
- Use without a prescribed flow rate
- Oxygen is a drug. Supplying it at an unprescribed rate is unsafe, and we will not deliver without the treating clinician's setting.
- Any use near an open flame or smoking
- Oxygen enrichment makes fabric, hair and furnishings burn far more readily. No smoking, cooking flame, or oil-based emollient near the patient while the unit runs.
- Storing or using the cylinder unsecured
- A full cylinder weighs around 60 kg. Toppling can injure someone or shear the valve, which turns the cylinder into a projectile.
Possible side effects
- Nasal dryness, epistaxis and skin breakdown
- Dry gas irritates the nasal mucosa and cannula tubing rubs behind the ears. Use the humidifier bottle and reposition the tubing.
- Absorption atelectasis
- Sustained high-concentration oxygen can collapse poorly ventilated alveoli. It is one reason flow rate is a clinical decision.
Serious risks
Life-threatening, permanently damaging, or requiring hospitalisation.
- Carbon dioxide narcosis in COPD
- In patients who retain carbon dioxide, excess oxygen suppresses respiratory drive and can progress to unconsciousness and respiratory arrest.
- Hypoxia during a power failure
- A concentrator stops the instant mains power fails. For an oxygen-dependent patient this is immediately life-threatening without a backup source.
- Fire in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere
- Ignition near a running oxygen source spreads rapidly and causes severe burns.
- Supply running out unnoticed
- Unlike a concentrator, a cylinder empties. Without a daily gauge check an oxygen-dependent patient can be left without supply.

Frequently asked questions
How long does an oxygen cylinder last?
A large D-type cylinder runs roughly 8–9 hours at 5 litres per minute, and proportionally less at higher flows. A portable B-type is measured in hours, not days — it is for transport and backup, not continuous therapy.
Should I get a cylinder or a concentrator?
A concentrator for continuous use, because it does not run out. A cylinder for backup and transport, because it does not need power. Most oxygen-dependent patients at home need both.
Do you refill cylinders?
Yes, refill and exchange are arranged within the service area. Call us at about a quarter full rather than at empty, so the exchange happens before you need it.
