IIRC there was a little bit of a mix up on that point a while back.
Then you might have cared to look for the incident again, before referring to it.

Maintenance personnel used a nitrogen cart filled with nitrogen. No mixup there.

The problem was, they were using it to top up the oxygen tanks. And since the fittings didn't, well, fit, they exchanged them for ones that did.
