16:17 GMT, February 25, 2011 Analox Sensor Technology/Analox Military Systems has launched a new Carbon Monoxide (CO) analyser for use by navy divers. A number of diving incidents involving Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning prompted Analox Sensor Technology to design the new analyser. the EII CO is a compact portable analyser that divers can use to check for CO contamination of their gas prior to diving. this new analyser has been developed in response to increasing concern about incidents of CO poisoning amongst divers. A small concentration of CO can affect the body, and symptoms can include headache, fatigue, confusion and dizziness. Prolonged exposure could lead to unconsciousness, brain damage or even death. Vicky Brown, Sales and Marketing Director – Analox Military Systems, said: “Navy divers need to be confident that they are taking the appropriate safety precautions before diving. we have responded to the growing concern about carbon monoxide contamination of tanks. Now divers can easily check their gas immediately prior to a dive. the new EII CO is an essential piece of protection.” the new EII CO is similar in design to the O2EII, but coloured red. Analox Sensor Technology recommends that divers, using mixed gas, equip themselves with both the EII CO carbon monoxide analyser, and the O2EII oxygen analyser. for more information about the EII CO or any other products designed for military diving, contact Andrew Skinner on +44 (0) 1642 715952.
