What must be done after cutting tubing in medical gas systems?

After cutting tubing in medical gas systems, deburring the ends is crucial to ensure the safety and functionality of the system. Deburring involves removing sharp edges and burrs that can occur when the tubing is cut. These imperfections can create risks such as injury to personnel handling the tubing or potential blockages in the gas flow when the tubing is connected to other components.

Additionally, any burrs can interfere with the integrity of seals or fittings, leading to leaks or failures in the gas delivery system. Properly deburring ensures a smooth finish, allowing for secure connections and safe operation within the medical environment. This step is vital in maintaining the system's reliability and adhering to safety standards for medical gas systems.
