Environmental Monitoring Tech

Our Halogenated Anesthetics (Isoflurane, Enflurane, Halothane, Desflurane, and Sevoflurane) Vapor Monitoring Badge comes with detailed instructions, a monitoring record sheet, and an address label. They are designed to provide you with the ability to check exposure levels to Halogenated Anesthetics. Returned samples are analyzed at an AIHA (American Industrial Hygiene Association) certified laboratory. All laboratory fees are included.

Current Regulatory Status
NIOSH Recommends that when halogenated agents are used alone, exposure should be limited to 2 ppm based on a 1-hour sample. When halogenated agents are used in combination with nitrous oxide, exposures should be limited to 0.5 ppm for halothane and other volatile anesthetics and 25 ppm for nitrous oxide. When nitrous oxide is used alone, exposures should be limited to 25 ppm.
OSHA Follows NIOSH requirements
JCAHO Requires effective monitoring program - follows NIOSH/OSHA guidelines
