GAO Tek’s hydrogen gas detectors have the following applications in the healthcare and social assistance industry: 

• Medical Gas Monitoring: GAO Tek’s hydrogen gas detectors can be utilized in medical facilities to monitor the levels of hydrogen gas in environments where hydrogen-based medical equipment is used, such as hydrogen-powered surgical lasers or hydrogen fuel cells for backup power. Ensuring proper ventilation and monitoring hydrogen gas levels is critical for maintaining a safe healthcare environment. 
• Laboratory Safety: In research laboratories within healthcare institutions, hydrogen gas may be used as a carrier gas in gas chromatography or as a reagent in certain experiments. GAO’s hydrogen gas detectors can help in monitoring potential leaks or spills to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of laboratory personnel. 
• Hydrogen Therapy: Some healthcare facilities may offer hydrogen therapy as an alternative medical treatment. GAO Tek’s hydrogen gas detectors can be used to ensure the safe administration and monitoring of hydrogen gas levels during therapy sessions, preventing overexposure or potential hazards. 
• Hydrogen Storage Safety: Healthcare facilities that use hydrogen as an energy source or for medical purposes may have hydrogen storage systems on-site. GAO’s hydrogen gas detectors can help in monitoring these storage areas for any leaks or abnormal hydrogen concentrations, ensuring the safety of staff and patients. 
• Emergency Response: In the event of a hydrogen-related emergency, such as a leak or spill, GAO Tek’s hydrogen gas detectors can quickly detect the presence of hydrogen gas, enabling prompt evacuation and appropriate emergency response actions to mitigate potential risks to patients, staff, and visitors.
