Pin Index Safety System

Pin Index Safety System

The Pin Index Safety System, or PISS, is a safety system that uses geometric features on the yoke to ensure that pneumatic connections between a gas cylinder and a machine that uses pressurized gases are not connected to the wrong gas yoke. This system can be seen on an anesthesia machine.

Each gas cylinder has a pin configuration to fit its respective gas yoke. Refer to the figure on the right; units are in millimeters.
