The O2NE+ is an oxygen depletion monitor ideal for use where there is threat of a potential leak or build-up of inert gas such as:

• Nitrogen
• Argon
• Helium

The O2NE+ provides two audio visual alarms which are pre-set at 19.5% & 18% (but can be adjusted) to warn personnel of a potential leak which may cause the O2 levels to deplete to a dangerous level.

The use of inert and speciality gases is widespread and varied and includes many industries and processes, the applications of which throughout the medical market are listed below. Should there be a leak or build-up of these gases in a confined space this will deplete the level of oxygen and can pose a danger to employees and members of the public visiting your workplace.

• MRI rooms (Helium is used as a coolant for a superconductors in MRI machines)
• Cryopreservation (LN2 used for blood, sperm and egg preservation)
• Tissue preservation
• Deep freeze – pathology
• Breathing observation – Asthma, Emphysema (Helium)
• Cancer treatment (Argon lasers)

The O2NE+ main sensor unit is wall mounted at normal working head height in the area/s recommended as a result of risk assessment (often where the gases are stored and/or piped). The repeater unit/s (which take their power from the main unit) are then situated at the entrance/s to the area to let staff or visitors know if it is safe to enter or not.
