What is required at the emergency oxygen supply connection (EOSC) for monitoring?

The requirement for the emergency oxygen supply connection (EOSC) mandates that there are four alarm connection points for monitoring. This standard is in place to ensure that any potential issues with the oxygen supply are promptly detected and addressed. The four connection points generally include alarms for the following critical aspects: low gas pressure, high gas pressure, system failure, and an emergency signal or alert.

Having four distinct connection points allows for comprehensive monitoring of the system's performance and ensures that healthcare facilities maintain a reliable, safe oxygen supply during emergencies. This level of oversight is crucial for patient safety, especially in environments where oxygen is a vital resource for patient care.
