The 21% Balance of Life Depends on This Single Part
In intensive care or on the operating table, the oxygen concentration (FiO₂) delivered to a patient can never be based on assumptions. Believing that 100% oxygen is being administered while the device is actually delivering only 40% can result in irreversible hypoxic brain injury. The only component that measures and controls this delicate balance is the oxygen sensor (O₂ cell).
These electrochemical (galvanic) sensors are consumable, time-depleting components that eventually stop the device from operating once exhausted—making them one of the most critical parts in any respiratory system.
At Mak Medikal Turkey, we supply 100% compatible, long-life, fast-response oxygen sensors for all your equipment—from anesthesia machines and ventilators to incubators and oxygen analyzers—serving hospitals across Turkey and international markets.
Don’t take risks with life-critical measurements. Secure your device calibration with Mak Medikal Turkey.
Oxygen sensors are “living” components that begin chemical consumption the moment they leave their sealed packaging. Aged stock or non-original sensors carry serious risks:
Calibration Failure: During device self-tests, the sensor may fail to verify ambient air at 21%, forcing the device into Out of Service mode.
Slow Response Time: Delays in detecting rapid changes in patient oxygen levels.
Loss of Linearity: Inaccurate readings between 21% and 100% oxygen, especially deviations at high concentrations.
Oxygen sensors are the heart of every system that mixes gases or delivers oxygen therapy:
Anesthesia Machines
Monitor the oxygen ratio in the gas mixture delivered to the patient. They serve as the reference point for Hypoxic Guard systems that prevent hypoxia during nitrous oxide (N₂O) use.
Mechanical Ventilators (ICU)
Continuously verify—second by second—that the set FiO₂ value (e.g., 60%) is accurately delivered to the patient.
Transport Ventilators & Incubators
Prevent dangerous rises or drops in oxygen concentration during transport or neonatal care.
Oxygen Analyzers
Handheld devices used for manual verification of gas sources.
For biomedical and technical service teams, oxygen sensor management is a defined process:
Shelf Life vs. Operating Life:
Oxygen sensors are electrochemical fuel cells. Even unused, they lose lifespan while on the shelf. Mak Medikal Turkey supplies freshly manufactured sensors to ensure maximum operating life (typically 12–18 months).
Easy Replacement:
Screw-type or jack (Molex) connectors allow replacement within seconds.
Wide Measurement Range:
Accurate readings across 0–1500 mBar partial pressure range.
Mak Medikal provides sensors compatible with nearly all respiratory equipment on the market, using OEM manufacturers such as City Technology, Envitec, Teledyne, Maxtec, and more:
Ventilator Systems:
Hamilton, Maquet (Servo-i / Servo-s), Puritan Bennett (840 / 980), Dräger (Evita), GE Healthcare
Anesthesia Systems:
GE (Datex-Ohmeda), Dräger (Fabius / Primus), Mindray, Penlon, Spacelabs
Monitoring & Analyzer Systems:
Philips, Masimo, Nellcor
Device Continuity:
A ventilator with a sensor error cannot be used on a patient. Backup sensor stock prevents costly downtime.
Cost Efficiency:
Instead of purchasing full maintenance kits from authorized services, replacing only the depleted sensor significantly reduces service costs.
Patient Safety:
Ensures the accuracy of gases delivered to the patient and minimizes medical malpractice risk.
When an oxygen sensor is depleted, the device stops. Don’t let your ventilators or anesthesia machines fail at critical moments. Replace sensors on time and rely on Mak Medikal Turkey’s fresh stock, original compatibility, and fast delivery assurance.
