A number of incidents involving carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in sport diving prompted us to design a CO analyser specific for the sport diving industry.<\/p>\n

Introducing the new EII CO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benefits of the EII CO:<\/p>\n

Benefits of the EII CO:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It is designed for sport divers, and allows for accurate checking for CO contamination of their own gas prior to diving.<\/li>\n
  2. Being portable the analyser can be easily transported with other kit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Carbon monoxide – the problem:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A small concentration of CO can affect the body, and symptoms can include headache, fatigue, confusion and dizziness.\u00a0 Prolonged exposure could lead to unconsciousness, brain damage or even death.<\/p>\n

    A number of incidents of CO poisoning in sport divers have been reported around the world.\u00a0 In August 2010, an Australian diver was reported to have suffered CO poisoning.\u00a0 He was flown by rescue helicopter from a dive in North Queensland, with symptoms including memory problems and a severe headache.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The new EII CO is similar in design to the O2 EII, but coloured red.\u00a0 Analox Sensor Technology recommends that divers are equipped with both the EII CO carbon monoxide analyser, and the O2 EII oxygen analyser.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    We recommend that with every EII CO, a bump test gas kit<\/a> is also purchased. Analox have produced a quick video to show you how to bump test your EII CO:<\/p>\n
