The Self Sealing Oxygen Valve is a key component in a medical gas pipeline system, designed to provide a safe, leak-proof interface for the supply of oxygen in hospitals, ICUs, operation theatres and other critical care settings. Its mechanism ensures that when the downstream equipment is disconnected, the valve automatically seals the pipeline, preventing inadvertent gas discharge or contamination.

Key Features

• Designed specifically for oxygen service – ensuring compatibility with medical-oxygen pipeline systems.

• “Self-sealing” mechanism: the flow is interrupted when the connection is broken; secure connection when equipment is attached.

• Robust durable construction, suitable for continuous clinical usage in hospital settings.

• Designed to integrate with standard pipeline outlet systems (when correctly specified).

• Enhances safety by preventing free-flow, reducing risk of oxygen leakage and cross-gas connection in a medical gas system.

• Manufacturer (Airways Surgical) holds certifications including ISO 9001 and ISO 13485. airways+3airways+3medzell.net+3

Benefits

• Improves safety of the hospital gas-supply infrastructure by automatically sealing when not engaged.

• Reduces downtime or risk during changing equipment or disconnecting devices.

• Facilitates maintenance and equipment change-out without uncontrolled oxygen flow.

• Compatible with central pipeline oxygen systems—reducing need for manual isolation each time equipment is removed.

• Supports compliance with medical gas installation standards (valves, outlets must be self-sealing in many jurisdictions). Scribd+2Accio+2

Typical Applications

• Wall or ceiling mounted oxygen outlets in hospital wards, ICUs, OTs.

• Bed-head panels and pendant systems where connection/disconnection of equipment occurs.

• Situations where equipment (flow-meter, ventilator, suction/oxygen combo) needs safe and frequent connection/disconnection from oxygen pipeline.

• Emergency or backup oxygen feed points where isolation and safety are critical.

Technical/Installation Considerations

• Ensure the valve selected matches the pipeline pressure, connection size, gas-type (oxygen), and outlet key/plug system used.

• The “self-sealing” feature will only function correctly if the matched equipment plug/key is used and the valve is installed upright and as per manufacturer instruction.

• Materials should be oxygen-clean and compatible with high-purity oxygen service (i.e., avoid contamination with oils/grease, ensure suitable finishes).

• Confirm the valve meets local and international standards for medical gas systems (e.g., maximum working pressure, color-coding, non-interchangeability of gas types) Scribd+1

• Installation must be done by qualified biomedical gas engineers; post-installation leak testing and verification are critical.

• Spare parts (keys/plugs/seals) should be available for maintenance and downtime should be planned.
