The SAX-D Area Alarm System from Shire Medical represents the next generation of medical gas pipeline monitoring, combining intelligent digital control with robust reliability to meet the demanding needs of modern healthcare environments.

Designed for use in wards, operating theatres, and clinical areas, the SAX-D provides clear, high-visibility monitoring of up to six independent medical gases downstream of the final AVSU. Each gas is displayed on its own 1.7” OLED screen, delivering intuitive, colour-coded status updates—green for normal operation, yellow for pressure drop warnings, and red for critical high or low pressure conditions.

This advanced system doesn’t just monitor—it actively protects. With high- and low-pressure alarms, early warning indicators, and continuous system fault monitoring, the SAX-D ensures that any issue—whether pressure fluctuations, wiring faults, or power failure—is immediately identified.  An audible alarm and clear visual alert allow for rapid response, helping maintain uninterrupted patient care and compliance.

Engineered for precision and flexibility, the SAX-D uses 4–20mA pressure and vacuum transducers and includes features such as a fail-safe fault relay output, temporary alarm mute with auto reset, and engineer lockout functionality for safe maintenance.  The addition of a Bluetooth configuration interface and Modbus/SAX Bus connectivity enables seamless integration with existing hospital infrastructure and modern control systems.

Installation is straightforward for qualified professionals, with a reliable encoder-and-display configuration and clear wiring requirements. The system also supports future scalability, backed by Shire Medical’s 10-year compatibility guarantee, ensuring long-term value and adaptability as facility needs evolve.

Fully compliant with HTM 02-01, ISO 13485, EN ISO 7396-1, and UK/EU MDR standards, the SAX-D Area Alarm delivers peace of mind alongside exceptional performance.
