Cryotherapy
Our Oxygen (O2) deficiency sensors and monitors are used as a safety solution to monitor confined spaces and alert individuals if O2 levels fall below 20.9%.
- Protect employees and staff from oxygen depletion hazards or asphyxiation
- Gain accurate visual and audible alarm should O2 levels reach a dangerous threshold
- Ensure long-lasting protection with O2 sensing technology that lasts 5+ years
Cryogenic fluids are a special sub-set of pressurized gases. Cryogenics is the science of very low temperatures. In general, all temperatures below 120 Kelvin (-244°F or -153°C) are considered cryogenic.
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, methane, 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.
