Analox Sensor Technology has launched the Sub Aspida – a new, portable dual-gas monitor which is ideal for use with portable decompression chambers.

The Analox Sub Aspida is a compact, portable monitor capable of detecting both carbon dioxide (CO₂) and oxygen (O₂). By combining continuous monitoring of O₂ and CO₂ and compensating for atmospheric pressure, the unit offers highly accurate readings ideal for portable and transportable decompression chambers.

Vicky Brown, Sales and Marketing Director, Military Division for Analox Sensor Technology, said: "The safety of the patient is paramount. Constant monitoring of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels within the decompression chamber are vital. What the Analox Sub Aspida provides is accurate monitoring despite any change in atmospheric pressure, in a robust unit which is small enough to be easily portable. This makes it ideal for use with portable decompression chambers."

The Analox Sub Aspida can be mounted on the control panel of a decompression chamber and provided with a pressure reduced sample line from inside the chamber. An oxygen-only monitor is available, suitable for use with Air Diving systems.

The Sub Aspida offers audible, visual and vibrate alarms. To ensure its practicality, the unit is easy to use, robust in design and can be easily mounted on a bracket on the chamber panel. It offers 12 hours of battery life from one charge and can also be powered by a 9 volt DC supply. The software enables easy configuration, calibration and downloading of data and also ensures optimum performance of the unit by informing what maintenance is required and when.
