Cryotherapy

Enhance Cryotherapy Safety with Oxygen Monitoring

Our Oxygen (O2) deficiency sensors and monitors meet the OSHA requirements that state O2 safety monitors must alert individuals if O2 levels fall below 19.5%.

These monitors also protect employees and staff from oxygen depletion hazards or asphyxiation. In addition, they give accurate visual and audible alarms should O2 levels reach a dangerous threshold. With an oxygen deficiency monitor you can ensure long-lasting protection with O2 sensing technology that lasts 5+ years.

What are the potential dangers of cryotherapy?

While there are many added benefits to those using cryotherapy, such as treating injuries or reducing inflammation - there are also risks involved. The main risks of cryotherapy are exposure to nitrogen which is used to chill the air to extremely low temperatures. At these temperatures, nitrogen, oxygen, helium, and argon all become liquids. With the exception of oxygen, all of these gases are asphyxiating.

An asphyxiate gas is a nontoxic or minimally toxic gas that reduces or displaces the normal oxygen concentration in breathing air. Breathing oxygen-depleted air can lead to death by asphyxiation or suffocation. Making the need for oxygen depletion monitoring, vital.

What is a cryogenic oxygen monitor used for?

Oxygen deficiency monitors are capable of measuring and detecting the oxygen level in the air. If the oxygen level falls below the typical atmospheric level of 20.9%, the deficiency monitor will sound an alarm and activate relays that can be used to operate building management systems or ventilation fans.

For those facilities that are larger and hold multiple locations where the need for an industrial oxygen monitor or controller is vital, we offer our MSC2 series. An industrial fixed oxygen detector continuously monitors the oxygen levels in the air, providing real-time alerts if the oxygen concentration falls below safe thresholds. This is crucial in cryotherapy settings where rapid changes in atmospheric conditions can occur, ensuring that any drop in oxygen levels is immediately detected and addressed to prevent asphyxiation hazards.
