ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES
1. OXYGEN FAIL SAFETY SYSTEMS
The Niox Make Conscious Sedation unit incorporates a crucial safety feature: the Oâ‚‚ fail-safe mechanism. This mechanism guarantees that nitrous oxide (Nâ‚‚O) will only be delivered if there is oxygen (Oâ‚‚) flowing to the machine. As a result, the risk of administering 100% Nâ‚‚O to a patient is effectively eliminated, enhancing patient safety during sedation procedures. This feature is vital in preventing hypoxia and ensuring a controlled and safe sedation environment.
2. MAX NITROUS OXIDE CONCENTRATION LIMITER.
The Niox Make Conscious Sedation unit includes a max nitrous oxide concentration limiter, which is a critical safety feature designed to prevent excessive nitrous oxide delivery. This limiter typically restricts the concentration of Nâ‚‚O to a safe maximum level (70% of Nâ‚‚O) when mixed with oxygen. This ensures that patients receive a balanced and safe mixture, minimizing the risk of hypoxia and maintaining adequate oxygen levels during sedation. This feature enhances overall safety and provides peace of mind for both practitioners and patients.
3. 30 % 0F OXYGEN CONCENTRATION ASSURANCE.
The Niox Conscious Sedation unit maintains a minimum oxygen level of 30%, effectively safeguarding against the risk of hypoxia. This key safety feature ensures that patients receive adequate oxygen during sedation, enhancing their safety and comfort.
4. PIN INDEX SAFETY SYSTEM
The Niox Nitrous Oxide Conscious Sedation machine is equipped with a precise configuration of pins and holes that facilitates secure connections between nitrous oxide (Nâ‚‚O) and oxygen (Oâ‚‚) gas cylinders. This carefully designed system effectively prevents the accidental interchange of gases, significantly enhancing patient safety during sedation procedures.
5. DIAMETER INDEX SAFETY SYSTEM.
The Niox Nitrous Oxide Conscious Sedation machine features a system of standardized connections with varying diameters between nitrous oxide (Nâ‚‚O) and oxygen (Oâ‚‚) regulators and pipe connectors. This design effectively prevents accidental interchange of the gases, ensuring that each gas is connected only to its appropriate regulators and Pipe Connectors.
6. MAX OXYGEN FLOW LIMITER.( FIRST IN SEGMENT )
​The Niox Conscious Sedation unit includes a maximum oxygen flow limiter, which is a crucial safety feature. This limiter ensures that the oxygen flow does not exceed a predetermined maximum level, typically around 10-15 liters per minute. By controlling the maximum flow, the unit helps maintain safe and effective oxygen delivery during sedation, preventing potential complications associated with excessive oxygen levels. This feature enhances patient safety, ensuring a balanced and controlled environment throughout the sedation process.
7. NITROUS OXIDE DEPRESSURISING BUTTON.( FIRST IN SEGMENT )
The Niox Conscious Sedation unit features a nitrous oxide depressurizing button, a pioneering safety mechanism that sets Niox apart as the first company to implement a dedicated button for depressurizing nitrous oxide in the head unit, pipe lines, and yoke after closing the cylinders. This innovative design allows healthcare providers to quickly and safely release any residual nitrous oxide from the system, facilitating easy resetting and maintenance without the risk of accidental gas exposure.​
8. OXYGEN FLUSH WITH DEPRESSURISING BUTTON
The Niox Conscious Sedation machine is equipped with a dedicated oxygen flush button, allowing for the rapid delivery of 100% oxygen to the patient in emergency situations.
