PCI Gases supports international efforts to remove access barriers to Medicinal Oxygen
Every Breath Counts members and other organizations have expressed concerns about the current draft revision to the WHO International Pharmacopoeia for hospitals
We are sharing the Open Letter on behalf of several Every Breath Counts members and other organizations, including the World Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists (WFSA), the ISO Technical Committee 121 (Anaesthetic and Respiratory Equipment), and the International Association of Manufacturers of Medical Gas Generators for Hospitals (MEDIGHAM).
These organizations have expressed concerns that the current draft revision to the WHO International Pharmacopoeiacould further restrict access to medical oxygen by making it difficult for hospitals to work with oxygen sourced from both oxygen 93% and oxygen 99.5%. The contents of this Open Letter has a big importance in the context of the vital work that WHO is leading to close the wide gaps in access to medical oxygen that continue to plague health systems in low-resource settings, elevating deaths from COVID-19 and many other causes and conditions.

VSA Technology
To produce oxygen from air, PCI uses a proprietary Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) process that eliminates many of the design problems associated with traditional on-site gas separation systems (PSA). Our innovative VSA system eliminates the need for process valves, feed air compressors, associated dryers and feed air filtering systems. Our robust VSA oxygen process extracts maximum sieve and power efficiencies = low cost (both CapX and OpX) high purity oxygen generation. Oxygen produced is 93% purity. Additional product/systems features include load following, remote monitoring and diagnostics along with an industry only 10-year warranty on the adsorber bed vessel. Average life span of our systems is 10-15+ years.
