Next time watch the significant difference on how medical use vs

to insure there is nothing else in the tank before it is filled.

How exactly could something get into the tank in the first place?

If it's connected to a manifold system, then yes, the gas from a
higher-pressure tank could flow into it. But doesn't that
higher-pressure tank already contain known-pure O2?

If it's never connected to a manifold system or to another tank, then
how exactly could something get into it? Deliberate tampering?

Temperature changes. If you have an open tank and let the gas inside
expand, then contract, it will draw in outside air, moisture, or whatever.
Leave that tank long enough and you can get all sorts of contamination, not
all of which is harmful, but it would still not meet medical criteria.
