How it works
- The exhaled breath containing nitrous oxide is collected via the Ultraflow demand valve into the MDU.
- A catalytic process in the reactor breaks down nitrous oxide (N2O) at high reaction temperatures into oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2).
- The hot purified air is led into the heat exchanger, where the heat is recycled to warm up the incoming exhaled air. The cooled harmless purified air is released into the atmosphere.
- An integrated control system monitors the process and can be read remotely via a web interface.
- The reaction that converts to N2O to O2 and N2 is virtually self-sustaining. Once at operating temperature, there is almost no power required to maintain the reaction temperature.

Reliability and monitoring
The MDU is constructed with few moving parts and components, this gives it a high degree of reliability and a long product lifespan.
The MDU has an integrated control system that continuously monitors several parameters including temperature and gas flows, it stops automatically if overloaded.
On delivery, the device is set up for remote monitoring, and it is easy to connect the unit to Medclair’s technician for remote monitoring.
