To avoid any incidents, it is necessary to strictly follow the following instructions:
- Check the good condition of the material before use.
- Secure bottles with a capacity greater than 5 liters with a suitable means (chains, hooks, etc.) to keep them in a vertical position and avoid any unexpected falls.

- Do not handle a bottle whose valve is not protected by a tulip, except for bottles with a capacity less than 5 liters.
- Do not lift the bottle by holding the valve.
- Use connections or flexible connection elements specifically designed for Medicinal Air
- Use a manoreducer with a flowmeter that can withstand a pressure of at least 1.5 times the maximum service pressure (200 bar) of the bottle.
- In the case of bottle blocks, use only manometers graduated to at least 315 bar.
- Use flexible connection elements in wall outlets provided with specific nozzles for Medicinal Air.
- Open the valve progressively.
- Never force the valve to open, nor open it completely.
