9. Oxygen statement
The Poseidon Xstream Deco, Duration, Duration90 and Oxygen are all approved for use with gaseous oxygen up to 99.95 %
purity at maximum 300 bar supply pressure and a maximum gas temperature of 60˚C
Using gaseous mixtures containing oxygen at high pressure always presents a certain level of risk for equipment failure due
to combustion. Greater concentration oxygen, greater pressure, greater temperature, respectively represents factors that
contributes to increase the mentioned risk.
In diving operations, the use of oxygen is essential for the human metabolism. In addition, oxygen concentration levels greater
than in air, can improve safety, especially but not only, by lowering the risk for DCS and Nitrogen narcosis.
Therefore, Poseidon has taken every precaution using "state of the art" technology, expertise, industrial standards, and knowledge
to lower the risk as far as possible. Both Xstream Deco and Xstream Duration are engineered for oxygen use, assembled and
cleaned in a clean room environment, made up by materials chosen to expose lowest possible risk x failure-effect product, and
are tested and approved for oxygen use.
It is strictly prohibited to use the Poseidon Xstream Deco/Duration with oxygen (ref. "definitions") without being fully trained and
certified in the use of oxygen by a recognised training agency. Failure to have such training and certification could lead to death
or serious personal injury.
It is likewise absolutely essential that the end user strictly follows the mandatory guidelines given in the users manual for the
Xstream models. Regular maintenance, servicing and cleaning is a prerequisite for keeping the risk as low as possible.
Servicing and cleaning must be carried out by an authorised oxygen service dealer. Poseidon has developed and verified a
servicing and cleaning method, which guarantee acceptable levels of contaminations. Poseidon can not be held responsible for
the effects of other un-verified cleaning and servicing methods.
Failure to adhere to these mandatory requirements transfers the responsibility to the owner.
