Information Letter on INOmax® 800 ppm mol/mol, gas for medical use: difficulties with closing cylinder valves after use

Active substance: Nitric Oxide

The company Linde Healthcare AB informs that INOmax® cylinders that are not completely empty cannot be closed properly after opening. The correct administration of INOmax® is not affected by the reported malfunction. When the malfunction occurs, the bottle valve should be closed via the INOmeter by applying firm pressure by hand. If necessary, a replacement system can be used for administration.
