Mustaches may raise burn risk with home oxygen therapy

---  the original post follows below  ---

Read the full article: Mind the mo: Moustaches may raise burn risk with home oxygen therapy - MedCity News:

"To test their theory that facial hair places oxygen therapy users at a higher risk for burns, the researchers set up mannequins with and without human hair mustaches, outfitted them with the nasal tubing and exposed them to a spark.

The tubing on the mustached models ignited while those without mustaches did not, suggesting that concentrated oxygen together with kindling in the form of facial hair is a dangerously flammable combination."

FDA Wants Infusion Pump Risk Reduction

• People also think highly of this California HMDR Exemptee license training class - Register now to take this state-approved online training certification course from the best choice for Exemptee training.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a new initiative to address safety problems associated with external infusion pumps, which are devices that deliver fluids, including nutrients and medications, into a patient’s body in a controlled manner.

As part of its initiative, FDA is moving to establish additional premarket requirements for infusion pumps, in part through issuance today of a new draft guidance and letter to infusion pump manufacturers. FDA is also announcing a May public workshop on infusion pump design, and launching a new Web page devoted to infusion pump safety, FDA - Infusion Pumps.

Although this is directed toward manufacturers, it's probably a good idea for everybody using pumps to follow what emerges from this initiative.
