If removed from a bag and resealed it can increase the failure rate: the gas in the bag should not be dry nitrogen.

Alex,

Regarding the resealing of sensors, I've come to understand that statement from a couple of other experienced Rebreather divers. Do you have any material information that can be thrown in the public domain that illustrates that the statement is accurate?

Can you clarify the second part of your statement? Is the bag being filled with dry nitrogen associated with the failure or were you just noting that you shouldn't fill the bag with nitrogen? And if not nitrogen, what do you fill it with?
