TOM-2 Total Oxidizer Monitoring & Mitigation

The TOM-2 Total Oxidizer Monitoring & Mitigation system (patent pending) from EMS Healthcare LLC is designed for the continuous regulation of oxygen below the limit of 23.6 percent in combined-use vacuum systems. The heart of the monitoring & mitigation system is a PLC that interfaces to an oxygen sensor, a vacuum transducer, and a control valve. The unit monitors oxygen concentration and vacuum pressure and takes appropriate action based on these input parameters. The PLC operates a valve plumbed to a regulated gas source (e.g., carbon dioxide or nitrogen) or ambient air to maintain levels below the critical threshold of 23.6%. Maintaining system vacuum pressure is always prioritized over oxygen levels; as long as vacuum pressure remains acceptable, increasing oxygen levels to the vacuum pump inlet will be mitigated.

The TOM-2 is recommended for use in all healthcare facilities where oxygen from patient procedures is evacuated through oil-lubricated vacuum pumps. The TOM-2 continuously monitors and logs total oxygen concentration in order to provide periodic reports for compliance purposes.
