The ToxiRAE Pro Single-Gas Detectors, manufactured by RAE Systems, were purchased by KYOSH in 2017. A replacement was needed for the aging and irreparable Quest SafeLog 100s, which were used for carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) detection. The units themselves and parts were no longer being manufactured and existing part stocks were quickly dwindling. Because KYOSH responds relatively frequently to imminent danger calls concerning carbon monoxide, it is imperative to employee safety that KYOSH continuously has functional detectors. The SafeLogs could no longer provide that assurance.

Enter the ToxiRAE Pro. It is a complete replacement for the SafeLog detectors, as there are ToxiRAE Pros for CO detection and NO2 detection.
