Medical professionals across the globe dedicate their lives to caring for patients, and in the current climate, pressure on healthcare facilities has never been higher. Our doctors, nurses, surgeons and other key workers are risking their lives daily to ensure the protection of others.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) has many uses in the medical and healthcare industries. As well as being used in minimally invasive surgeries, including endoscopy, arthroscopy and laparoscopy – carbon dioxide is also used in Cryotherapy as well as being used to stimulate the respiratory system after anaesthesia. Undoubtedly, CO2 has many properties which make it the ideal gas of choice in the healthcare and medical industry.
Carbon dioxide does however need to be treated with care. Wherever the gas is used – the immediate atmosphere needs careful monitoring to ensure that levels of CO2 in the atmosphere remain at safe levels. Partly because the gas is impossible to detect with the human senses alone.
Failure to detect and measure levels of CO2, can lead to a build-up of the gas – which can very quickly overwhelm individuals. Typical signs of carbon dioxide poisoning are sickness and nausea, followed by death by Asphyxiation. As CO2 that leaks from a gas cylinder is denser than air, dangerous pockets of the gas can build up low to the ground.
Typical areas which can have a build-up of carbon dioxide includes poorly ventilated areas where the gas is used. Storage facilities also need to be carefully monitored for leaks, alongside the pipes and tubing which transports carbon dioxide through a building.
At Analox, for almost forty years we have been designing and manufacturing cutting edge carbon dioxide monitoring equipment that are all easy to use and setup – keeping your people safe with minimum fuss.
You can view the full range of these products below, and as always – if you have any questions about monitoring CO2 in your hospital or medical facility, please do just get in touch and we will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
Oxygen Solutions
Enriched oxygen (O2) is widely used in Intensive Care Unit’s (ICU), High Dependency Unit’s (HDU), Accident and Emergency (A&E) and the Emergency Room (ER). Inert gases such as nitrogen (N2), helium (He), argon (Ar) and liquid nitrogen (LN2) are also used in medical facilities.
Both enriched oxygen (O2) and inert gases can pose a danger to life and should be closely monitored to ensure the safety of those in the area.
Analox offers a choice of wall mount or personal solutions:
If you need a simple, ready to install and cost-effective gas safety monitor – we’ve got you covered.
The Ax60+ is easy to install and already programmed for your local regulations.
The DOM can be retro fitted to any existing Ax60+ installations and provides real-time monitoring of the Ax60+ and communicates with customers remote systems such as a Building Management System (BMS).
A single point wall mountable safety monitor for oxygen (O2) depletion. This uses a partial pressure oxygen (O2) sensor so it is not cross sensitive to helium (He) ingress.
A single point wall mount safety monitor for oxygen (O2) depletion and enrichment that has a ppO2 sensor.
A portable, personal safety monitor for both carbon dioxide (CO2) enrichment and oxygen (O2) enrichment and depletion.
Carbon Dioxide Solutions
Carbon dioxide (CO2), R744 and Dry Ice are also commonly present in medical facilities. These can all have toxic effects on the human body so it is important to have a carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring system in place.
If you need a simple, ready to install and cost-effective gas safety monitor – we’ve got you covered.
The Ax60+ is easy to install and already programmed for your local regulations.
The DOM can be retro fitted to any existing Ax60+ installations and provides real-time monitoring of the Ax60+ and communicates with customers remote systems such as a Building Management System (BMS).
A portable, personal safety monitor for carbon dioxide (CO2) enrichment.
A portable, personal safety monitor for both carbon dioxide (CO2) enrichment and oxygen (O2) enrichment and depletion.
A single point wall mounted safety monitor for carbon dioxide (CO2) enrichment. Typically found in restaurants, pubs, bars, fast food establishments, breweries, hospitality venues, laboratories and medical centers.
Due to American legislation, this is not suitable for the American market, please look at the Ax60+.
Multi-Gas Solutions
If you are using multiple gases or are looking for an analyzer, we can also offer a solution.

A process gas analyzer for single or multi-gas monitoring.
OEM Sensors
For when you want sensors for simple integration into your own analysis system or medical equipment.
A single gas GFC (Gas Filter Correlation) technology sensor available in: carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O).
A single gas NDIR (Non-Dispersive infrared) sensor for carbon dioxide (CO2).
A single gas MEC (Mini Electrochemical) sensor available in: carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen (O2), He and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
