  • Acción
    ACTION REQUIRED: The FDA RECOMMENDS THAT ALL OPPORTUNITIES TO PROMOTE THE PROPER HANDLING OF HOSPITAL GASES, AS WELL, OF RELATED CYLINDERS AND CONNECTORS, ARE ACCEPTED. TO THE FOLLOWING: (1) WHEN CONNECTING A CYLINDER, CAREFULLY EXAMINE THE LABEL TO ENSURE THAT THE GAS CONTAINS THE GAS ADEQUATE TO ITS APPLICATION, TO AVOID POSSIBLE AGGREGATES ARISING FROM ERRONE CONNECTION OF HOSPITAL GAS CYLINDERS. (2) NEVER USE ADAPTERS OR CHANGE CONNECTORS OR PLUG IN A CYLINDER. IF A CONNECTOR DOES NOT JOIN THE O2 SUPPLY SYSTEM, PROBABLY THE GAS IN WHICH CYLINDER IS NOT O2 AND, THEREFORE, SHOULD NOT BE USED. (3) MAKE SURE THAT ALL PERSONNEL HANDLING HOSPITAL GASES ARE PROPERLY TRAINED AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERATIONS AND CONNECTIONS OF HOSPITAL GAS SYSTEMS AND LABELS. (4) IF YOUR ESTABLISHMENT RECEIVES BOTH HOSPITAL AND INDUSTRIAL GASES, STORE IN SEPARATE LOCATIONS. TO REPORT ADVERSE EVENTS RELATED TO HOSPITAL GASES, CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER OF THE CYLINDER, OR SEND CORRESPONDENCE TO ANVISA, ON THE INTERNET WWW.ANVISA.GOV.BR/TECNOVIGILÂNCIA/ FORMS OR BY THE E-MAIL TECNOVIGILANCIA@ANVISA.GOV.BR.
