Fields:

Text
In the pin index safety system (PISS), air is assigned to the index pins {{c1::1}} and {{c1::5}}. 
Extra
Each gas cylinder (sizes A–E) has two holes in its cylinder valve that mate with corresponding pins in the yoke of the anesthesia machine.

The relative positioning of the pins and holes is unique for each gas.

The pin index safety system is also ineffective if yoke pins are damaged or if the cylinder is filled with the incorrect gas.
