Thanks for posting Adrian, although not really sure if this is SOS pressure products (Ron Glossop) which were based in Manchester and moved to Flint. It is was my old club had an SOS O2 kit. I will phone them tomorrow and confirm if it is them or not.

There's been a stack of these going out on ebay over the past 3 weeks...

Wonder if it's related and whether dodgey kit that has been removed from service is being offloaded on the unsuspecting and unwashed masses..?

Check what you are bidding for is the best advice

Not good

Thanks for the heads up

BSAC should be getting this information and passing it on to clubs - we just voted to purchase a second-hand o2 set in our club last night - we will obviously need to do a bit more digging on the background now!

Off to email BSAC...!

A bit unfair, just how do BSAC get this info? It's been published for 6 weeks by an agency I have never heard of. I wonder how many who work in the NHS have even heard of it.

Should BSAC (whoever that is) be constantly scanning the web etc? I just don't see how to make this possible. There are far too many agencies involved, what others may be relevant that we have never heard of?

It is easier to argue that the agency should know the organisations that use emergency O2.

I have just phoned the company I know as SOS products, this company as I previously mentioned traded in Manchester (Ron Glossop) they moved to Flint some time ago, this must have been when the company went in to liquidation and has since had a change of Directorship in October 2003.

I have just been informed that this problem has been identified by their Technical Director and she was surprised I had only just become aware of it.

What you need to do if you have one of these kits is contact SOS products and they will check it out, if it is OK they will refill and get it back to you, if not they will advise you what you need to do.

I have just told her that there seems to be a lot of O2 kits on Ebay at the moment I almost bid for one the other day, DO NOT buy one from eBay, unless you know it is OK.

My old club had one of these kits and I will contact them about this. My advise is get them to check it before anyone uses it.

SOS products contact number is 01352 736050

Adrian, sorry, I wasn't clear enough - BSAC should be provided this info by the agency, so they can then pass it on - wasn't being critical of BSAC!

Cheers to Adrian and Fiona for digging out details on this.

I've forwarded them to the Yorks Regional Coach, so the notice should make its way around at least the Yorks BSAC branches soonest.

Regards

I bought my SOS O2 kit when they were in Manchester and in the process of moving to Flint. As far as I am aware they are now Medical Gas Solutions Ltd. Does this mean that "Medical Gas Services" changed to Medical Gas Solutions" while they were at the Flint HQ.

Presumably the normal Dive Kit with seperate Regulator is NOT affected by this problem. All very confusing.

TBH I got a bit confused on the phone, my advise would be just get in contact with them and check, for your own piece of mind.
