Abuse of Oxygen
Sensor by divers (workshop)
“Examining the myths and misunderstandings of Oxygen
sensors”
By Eurotek presenter John Lamb
|
| Since its introduction into recreational diving
in the early 1990's the oxygen sensor has been continually misunderstood,
misrepresented and has become surrounded by myths especially
on bulletin boards. The publishing of “ Oxygen Measurement
for Divers “ in 1999 was intended |
to address the misconceptions developing
through the 90's and enable any diver from the sports diver
upwards to gain a basic understanding.
At the 2008 conference John spoke about the myths and the distribution
of erroneous information that continues to be passed on .
His 2008 workshop addressed the basic fundamental properties
of oxygen sensors, such as pressure, temperature, moisture,
quality control, manufacturing, batch problems and records/traceability.

The 2010 workshop will cover, specifically, abuse of Oxygen sensors
by divers. There will be ample time to put questions to a person who
has lived with and solved problems with oxygen sensors in the diving
and medical environments for 40 years. John will show how a sensor
is built and how every component can be diver abused.this presentation
will be a bit more technical than the 2008 presentation but will have
plenty of simple diagrams that divers should be able to understand
and follow. At the last show John concentrated on the myths surrounding
sensors so this time he thought discussing how divers actually and
probably unwittingly abuse them may be interesting.
The actual content, what a sensor is, how it works, and how it dies
does not change will also be covered.
John Lamb Profile
John having studied Applied physics and electronics began a
career in Medical instrumentation in the early 1960's. In the
late sixties he was involved in the introduction of micro-fuel
cells now, known as oxygen sensors into the critical areas of
medicine. Having formed his own medical company Viamed Ltd in
1977 he continued with oxygen monitoring as a main product line
becoming the master distributor world-wide excluding North America
for Teledyne sensors and products in Medical, automotive, and
diving.
Being an active diver since 1988, with the introduction of mixed
gases he formed Vandagraph Ltd.(1993) as an offshoot company

| focused on the recreational diving industry. Vandagraph supplies
Teledyne oxygen sensors to several re-breather manufacturers
and has concentrated exclusively on the manufacture and distribution
of gas measurement products priding itself on reliable service
and technical support. |
