Spotlight Oxygen cylinders at BOC Does a member of your family have breathing problems? If so, then you probably ought to keep an oxygen cylinder at home. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry. In Dhaka City you can either buy or rent oxygen cylinders from BOC. A 1.36 cubic metre medical oxygen cylinder with accessories is sold for TK 14727, while it is rented with accessories for TK 15304. Initially it might appear strange to you that it is more expensive to rent a cylinder than to purchase one. However, actually it is cheaper to rent, as out of the TK 15304, TK 15000 is kept as a security deposit. In other words, when you return the cylinder to BOC, they will refund TK 15000. For each day you rent a cylinder, BOC will charge you TK 25 in addition to the initial payment of TK 15304. Although renting an oxygen cylinder is the better option of the two, it is worth mentioning that a cylinder can only be rented for a maximum of 30 days. Therefore, if you require a cylinder for more than 30 days, you simply have to purchase one. How long a 1.36 cubic metre oxygen cylinder will last depends on how regularly it is used. In other words, if you use it on a regular basis then you will have to get it refilled frequently, while if you hardly use it then you will probably never have to refill it. It is worth mentioning that BOC charges TK 76 for refilling an oxygen cylinder. Please do keep in mind that an oxygen cylinder should be used very carefully, as there is a risk of a fire happening if it is handled carelessly. Also, flow rates and concentrations should be clearly specified by a doctor, as incorrect administration can have fatal consequences. In conclusion, an oxygen cylinder can prove to be a lifesaver for a person suffering from acute breathing problems. Therefore, it is judicious to keep one at home. By getting in touch with BOC, you can obtain an oxygen cylinder.
