ICON - In-Circuit Oxygen aNalyser

ICON is an in-circuit oxygen analyser for use in veterinary operating theatres and intensive care wards. There are many situations where knowing the level or percentage of oxygen is beneficial, but monitoring or measurement is difficult.

The ICON unit can be placed on the fresh gas outlet of an anaesthetic machine or within the re-breathing limbs of a circle system, wherever the oxygen concentration needs to be known.

This is particularly useful where breathing systems are not run with 100 per cent oxygen and different oxygen levels are required. It is also useful to know the actual concentration of delivered oxygen from an oxygen concentrator, or oxygen generator, as this may vary with load and flow rates.

It does not require a pump or delivery system to deliver gas to its sensing element. The active element is very close to the surface and this enables accurate measurements to be made in open-air environments, such as oxygen tents or oxygen cages.

ICON can be supplied with magnetic or velcro mounts for easy attachment to cage sides. ICON has a good response time, stabilising to a reading within 10-15 seconds.It uses a standard single AA battery which has a lifespan of approximately one year when used for eight hours a day, every day.

The sensing element is a long-life galvanic sensor which has a working life of approximately two to five years, based on an oxygen exposure of 100 per cent, to 21 per cent, respectively.
