Compact Nitrox Analyzer/Labeler for Scuba Divers
This proposal introduces a Compact Nitrox Analyzer/Labeler designed to accurately analyze O2 content of dive cylinders, resist water, and assist divers in setting PO2 limits. It aims to enhance diver safety and efficiency by providing critical information through easy-to-read labels and electronic logging capabilities.

ECE 445 TA Pitch: SCUBA Nitrox Labeler Stasiu Chyczewski
Background: Nitrox Diving Scuba divers accumulate N2 in their tissues as they dive due to the increased partial pressure at depth. Divers using air often need to spend large amounts of time on the surface to off-gas and extend no-deco times on subsequent dives. Nitrox (breathing gas with a higher percentage O2 than air) can mitigate this problem. 2
Background: Nitrox Diving Nitrox diving has additional hazards associated with it, most notably the onset of oxygen toxicity at shallower depths. To mitigate this hazard, divers are taught to analyze and hand-label their tanks before their dive with information such as the percentage O2 and MOD (maximum operating depth). 3
Proposal: Compact Nitrox Analyzer/Labeler Key Requirements Accurately analyze O2 content of dive cylinders Would be nice Water resistant, buoyant housing Allow users to set max PO2 and calculate resultant depth limits Electronically log analyses and transmit for easy integration with digital dive logs Print easy to read label with critical information (O2 percentage, MOD, date, etc.) Long lasting, rechargeable batteries Handheld device 4
