The Pelagian has two 02 cells that are monitored by a neat and small LCD device. The P02 meter shows you three decimal places, unlike most PO2 meters that only show you two. Andy has further refined the position of the cells so that you can easily validate the cells by exhaling, triggering the ADV device and then quickly verifying the output of the O2 cells.

I would have thought the view that 2 sensors was rendered to the world of putting butter on burns.

Can someone explain to me how one can validate sensors if there are only 2? As I see it a dil flush drops the pO2 sure but with only 2 sensors you can't tell if the bung sensor has failed high or low. Bailout is the only prudent option. There are unfortunately enough dead people to bang this point home to us.

Assuming that bailout is the trained drill then why mention sensor validation at all?

What is the go?
