Utilization of Bodok Seals in Gas Cylinders

Bodok seals a precise seal that agreements a tight closure between the cylinder burden and controller of an anesthetic machine or any clinical gadget requiring a gas supply, and a gas cylinder.

Bodok Seal is utilized widely inanimate hardware and regions where anesthetic gases are dispensed, for example, Hospitals, Dentists, Veterinary Surgeries and Medical Practices.

 

Reason for Using Bodok Seals

Gas supply legitimately to the anesthetic machine: cylinders might be appended to an anesthetic machine as a sole strategy for new gas conveyance, or as a back-up for oxygen arrangement in the event of pipeline disappointment.

Cylinder complex: this is a bank of huge cylinders put away remotely to the structure to give a gas supply which is then channeled into the structure.

Well being highlights to keep away from the incidental stockpile of an inappropriate gas type.

Step by Step Instructions to Open and Close a Cylinder

1.       Distinguish the substance of the cylinder (red mark, check color).

2.      Evacuate the plastic covering around the valve.

3.      Preceding opening a cylinder valve, watch that there is no residue or particulate issue noticeable around the valve.

4.      Hold the cylinder with the goal that the valve opening is confronting ceaselessly from you.

5.       Break the valve by opening somewhat preceding associating with the burden/controller to pass over any residue sitting on the valve, at that point close once more.

6.      Guarantee that the burden/controller fixing washer Bodok seal is available and flawless.

7.       Guarantee that the oxygen stream of the machine the cylinder is to be connected to is turned completely off.

8.      Ensure that the openings and pins of the pin file framework are adjusted so the cylinder gas outlet sits pleasantly against the Bodok seal of the burden/controller (if it can’t consider whether your cylinder contains the right gas for that burden/controller).

9.      When shutting the holding screw of the controller guarantee that you are fixing it into the cone-shaped discouragement situated on the opposite side of the valve stem to the pin-file framework and gas outlet, a few cylinders have a weight help gadget underneath the cone-like melancholy that it is significant not to unintentionally fix the screw against (this gadget appears as though a screw head).

10.   Open the cylinder valve gradually by turning the shaft anticlockwise. An unexpected opening can prompt a fast increment in pressure which can harm the machine, and even reason blast or fire.

11.    Open the valve completely while being used.

12.   At the point when the anesthetic machine can’t utilize close the valve completely by turning the axle clockwise (but stay away from over-fixing). Try not to leave the cylinder standing upstanding without help.

13.   While expelling a cylinder from the controller; close the cylinder by turning the axle clockwise completely, guarantee flow meters on the machine are shut and that gas inside the anesthetic machine has been cleansed.
