    Report summary

    Gaenor Moore, who had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and required an oxygen concentrator with humidifier, became breathless, deteriorated and died at her residential care home after the humidifier cap was not properly engaged, preventing oxygen flow to her nasal cannula. Concerns included the absence of a visual or audible alarm to indicate loss of oxygen flow and training and literature that did not explain the implications of failing to properly engage the humidifier cap.
