Systems and methods for intelligent gas source management and/or systems and methods for delivery of therapeutic gas and/or enhanced performance verification for therapeutic gas delivery

A therapeutic gas delivery system, comprising:

• at least one gas supply subsystem comprising,
• a therapeutic gas source comprising a compressed gas cylinder of therapeutic gas;
• a gas source identifier attached to the therapeutic gas source, wherein the gas source identifier contains information at least of the identity and expiration date of the therapeutic gas supplied by the therapeutic gas source;
• a gas source coupling configured to receive the therapeutic gas source and form a fluid flow connection with the therapeutic gas source;
• a gas source valve adjacent to and in fluid communication with the gas source coupling, wherein the gas source valve is configured to have at least an open state and a closed state;
• a gas pressure sensor adjacent to and in fluid communication with the gas source valve, wherein the gas source valve provides a gas flow path from the gas source coupling to the gas pressure sensor, and the gas pressure sensor is configured to measure a gas pressure at the gas source coupling at least when the gas source valve is in an open state, to be in communication over a communication path with a therapeutic gas delivery system controller comprising a CPU, and to communicate a pressure value over the communication path to the therapeutic gas delivery system controller;
• a therapeutic gas flow regulator down stream from the gas pressure sensor, gas source valve, and gas source coupling, and in fluid communication with the gas source coupling, gas source valve, and gas pressure sensor;
• and
• one or more display(s) configured to be in communication over a communication path with the therapeutic gas delivery system controller.
