Medical Breathing Gases

A Quick Summary

Analysis of Medical air is surprisingly complex in sampling as well as analysis, but it is further complicated by the variety of Medical Air specifications. Our Universal Air Sampling kit allows a single person to pull a sample from any part of the air system compressor (LP or HP) without help, in 10 minutes. Analysis takes about 3 days. We FAX (or E-mail) and mail the report immediately thereafter. If there is a failure, we will tell you what caused it and how to fix it. If your facility is remote, you can purchase a sampling kit for on-site analysis (Drager Tubes and special filters).

A Universal Sampling Kit

The sampling kit that we use for hospital air systems (including Hyperbaric Chamber air) is our Universal Air Sampling Kit. This kit allows full control of pressure and flow at a wide range of flow rates, thereby guaranteeing a statistically correct sample. For an in-depth discussion about sampling kits, see Sampling Kits a Common Sense View.

Laboratory Analysis

Our laboratory has a wide range of analytical instrumentation to accommodate the complex specifications of Medical air. (See also Laboratory Methods).
