P & S APPLICATION
MEDICAL GASES
Gases used for medical treatment are regulated under the same rules as medicinal drugs . These regulations – typically covered in a publication called a Pharmacopeia – specify how each gas should be produced and validated , the acceptable purity level , and official measurement records .
For example , under European Pharmacopeia ( EP ) rules , medical oxygen ( O 2 ) requires an assay measurement to ensure O 2 purity is better than 99.5 %, and impurity measurements of carbon monoxide ( CO ) and carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ). The impurities must be less than 5 parts per million ( ppm ) of CO and less than 300ppm of CO 2 .
Our high-performance solutions and technologies deliver the measurements required to meet US and European Pharmacopeia concentration limits for medical gas quality using industryapproved sensing techniques .
KEY SOLUTIONS
An advanced solution for purity assay and impurity detection , the SERVOPRO MultiExact 4100 offers a combined solution for all three analytes , meeting EP standards and providing the measurement limits required . A multi-gas analyzer capable of monitoring up to four gas streams simultaneously , it can be fitted with a Paramagnetic cell for a highly stable O 2 reading , and a customized Infrared Gas Filter Correlation ( Gfx ) sensor for CO and CO 2 .
