The Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation on 31st December 2021 has directed all the LS-1A licensees (hospitals/refillers/LMO manufacturers) who have been granted licenses for storage of Liquid Medical Oxygen(LMO) in bulk by PESO to install the telemetry devices on LMO storage vessels at the earliest and report in this regard incorporating the license number, telemetry device number, location of installation (including name of the State & District) shall be submitted to PESO on or before January 15, 2022 through email on email id: ndgawade@explosives.gov.in and asonbarse@explosives.gov.in.
Liquid Medical Oxygen is high purity oxygen, which is used for medical treatment. Telemetry devices are installed in these liquid medical oxygen tanks so that it can be monitored in real-time. The telemetry device will help in transmitting the live information of the amount of oxygen present in each liquid medical oxygen tank.
The Device will help the management of hospital to take timely decision about indenting LMO and also help LMO supplier to prioritize the supply of LMO among their customers i.e. hospitals and refillers which in turn will reduce the turnaround time of LMO transport tankers. This will also help Oxygen monitoring control rooms to have direct access to the oxygen storage levels of all LMO storage vessels in the country during the crisis times.
