These mobile cylinders contain CONOXIA® medical oxygen which is manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
Colombo, 17 July 2015 - Ceylon Oxygen Limited (COL), a member of The Linde Group, has signed a three-year deal with Falck, the world's largest international ambulance fleet and emergency medical services provider in Sri Lanka, to supply all Falck ambulance with CONOXIA® medical oxygen packaged in lightweight aluminium cylinders which are equipped with a LIV®. Through this partnership, COL and Falck will help to raise the quality of mobile oxygen therapy during emergency medical services as the care giver will be able to dispense CONOXIA® to the patient safely and with ease during patient transport as compared to the traditional steel cylinders which have a separate regulator.

During emergency situations, CONOXIA® medical oxygen can be dispensed quickly and easily with just a twist of a knob, allowing for faster response and reaction during highly critical and life-threatening situations. This unique combination of CONOXIA® medical oxygen packaged in lightweight aluminium cylinders which are equipped with a LIV® enables care givers to focus on the patient and provide better care throughout the journey and during the patient transfer. We look forward to the start of a long-term partnership.“
