If the Nitrox Ready status is to be maintained after servicing, only service kit marked with EAN40 and oxygen compatible lubricant may be used. Servicing must only be carried out by persons who have been trained and certified by Poseidon. Servicing Xstream Deco and Xstream Duration requires an additional certification as “POSEIDON OXYGEN TECHNICIAN”...
2. Introduction Markings This manual contains servicing and repair instructions and product information for the Poseidon Xstream regulator series. The different Xstream regulator models are most clearly identifed by their color. There is always a possibility that the customer has altered the colors himself, why it is important always to check the permanently marked article number as part of the identification of the product.

Xstream Deco/Duration Cleaning for Oxygen Use The process of cleaning for oxygen use and the information given herein shall be strictly adhered to. Only then can Poseidon guarantee the regulator will be cleaned to a cleanliness level which is acceptable for its intended use. This process has been verified to produce hydrocarbon residual levels less than 50mg/m2 and a particulate level less than Cleaning Test Level 100 (ASTM G 93 Spec.)
Wash your hands before this cleaning process. Always ensure the UltraSonic cleaner is absolutely clean inside Fill the UlraSonic cleaner with Poseidon FineClean Ultra and water in the ratio 1:5. Let the UltraSonic cleaner reach its working temperature 60-70°C . Place all parts in the basket. The parts shall be placed so that no air is trapped inside.

Oxygen statement The Poseidon Xstream Deco, Duration, Duration90 and Oxygen are all approved for use with gaseous oxygen up to 99.95 % purity at maximum 300 bar supply pressure and a maximum gas temperature of 60˚C Using gaseous mixtures containing oxygen at high pressure always presents a certain level of risk for equipment failure due to combustion.

In the past some claimed that using gasses containing les than 40% oxygen did not require any special procedures such as e.g. oxygen cleaning. Since it is only a matter of what level of risk that can be accepted, and Poseidon’s standpoint is to lower the risk as far as possible for our customers safety, Xstream Deep 90 regulators and 1st stages with serial number 1500001 and higher are delivered ”Nitrox Ready”...
There are no level of percentage of oxygen which can be guaranteed as safe. There are only factors which increases or decreases the risk for combustion. The O 4 concept Poseidon has introduced the O concept, which stands for oxygen engineered, oxygen compatible, oxygen clean, and oxygen approved.

Tools have to be re-cleaned every month or after 10 serviced regulators, whichever comes first. An ultra-sonic cleaner Poseidon XXXX shall be used. In addition to the instructions for use and maintenance in the users manual, the bath shall be cleaned with IPA and a lint free mop or lint free paper on a regular basis, or when contamination can be suspected. This is to ensure that a possible trace of an oil-film on the inside of the bath is removed.
