In this film, let us have a quick look at the PIN Index Cylinder. Now, a cylinder is exactly the same, the key part of a PIN Index Cylinder is the bit at the top and this is the part, so rather than have a cylinder with an inbuilt regulator that we have looked at in other videos, the PIN Index regulator has two locator pins, that go into these holes here and this hole is where the oxygen comes out and on the back here there's a securing hole, that is just where the cylinder attaches. So the PIN Index system, the top hole is where the oxygen is flowing through, so your regulator will just literally clip over the top and the two locator pegs go into these holes here and you just clamp that in place on top of the cylinder. The PIN Index Cylinders are used, especially if you have got a high concentration of oxygen you want to give to the patient and they are also used in some medical situations in hospitals and ambulance services and generally speaking an oxygen kit will always have a standard regulator, a cylinder with a regulator on. If you do see these, you will need a special regulator, there is no way of transferring this from here directly to a non-rebreather mask, for example, or a BVM because you will need to have the regulator that sits on to the top of that. So the regulator that fits onto the PIN Index system is typically this and this particular one here has got two outlets here for demand valves, but a lot of them will not have that, so you have a constant flow on the end, you have a knob on the end to actually turn the actual oxygen flow so, well, it goes from zero down to up to 25 or 15 litres a minute, whichever they are and all you do with this is locate it in place. Once it is located in place and you have got the two locator pins carefully in the holes, you just literally just wind this around it at the end, till it's on and that's now, secure, in place and then you can turn the cylinder and the gas on in the cylinder, and also then turn the flow on here. When you dismantle this, it's important to turn the cylinder off first, then purge the system out and so open it up and just let the oxygen in the system go, otherwise, you are not going to be able to get it off, or if you do, it could force the regulator out because it's under pressure, so always purge these regulators before taking them off the cylinder.
