Drive Devilbiss Check And Go Oxygen Analyzer
Drive DeVilbiss Check and Go Oxygen Analyzer (Model 18580)
0.0% to 99.9% Oxygen Concentration
±1% Full-Scale Accuracy | <15 sec Response
3.0 oz (85g) Pocket-Sized Sealed Unit
Over-The-Counter (OTC — No Rx Required)
Executive Product Overview
The Drive DeVilbiss Check and Go Oxygen Analyzer (Model 18580) is a pocket-sized diagnostic tool designed for rapid verification of oxygen purity output. Engineered for respiratory therapists, biomedical technicians, and durable medical equipment (DME) providers, this analyzer provides spot-checks of oxygen concentration output from residential concentrators, portable POCs, and clinical gas lines.
Weighing just 3.0 ounces (85 grams), the Check and Go integrates a medical-grade Galvanic Max-250 oxygen sensor. Delivering a rapid response time of less than 15 seconds with ±1% full-scale accuracy, it requires zero warm-up time upon activation. Featuring a single-button calibration system, the unit is powered by an internal, factory-sealed lithium battery providing up to 1,850 hours of active testing time (~24 months of standard field spot-checking), complete with an automated 80-second power-down mode to preserve cell capacity.
Key Performance & Operational Features
- Galvanic Max-250 Internal Sensor: Delivers linear measurement accuracy across a 0.0% to 99.9% oxygen concentration spectrum.
- Maintenance-Free Sealed Chassis: Built as a factory-sealed diagnostic tool that eliminates cell cleaning, internal sensor maintenance, or wiring care.
- Automated Microprocessor Sleep Mode: Powers down the 3-digit LCD window after 80 seconds of non-use, extending cell life up to 1,850 active hours.
- One-Touch Ambient Air Calibration: Calibrates instantly to room air (21.0% O2) with a single button press before equipment verification.
- Ultra-Lightweight Field Portability (3.0 oz): Compact housing fits easily in diagnostic tool kits or lab coat pockets for clinical rounds.

Product & Compliance FAQs
Q: Does purchasing the Check and Go Oxygen Analyzer require a medical prescription?
A: No. Oxygen analyzers sold as equipment testing and diagnostic tools are Class I diagnostic accessories and do not require a medical prescription to purchase or operate.
Q: Can the internal battery or oxygen sensor cell be replaced when depleted?
A: No. The Check and Go 18580 is engineered as a factory-sealed, maintenance-free unit. The internal galvanic sensor and lithium cell are integrated directly into the housing circuitry. Once the sensor or battery reaches the end of its operational lifespan (~24 months of standard field spot-checking), the device is recycled and replaced.
Q: Why does the analyzer show fluctuating readings when testing high-flow (8–10 LPM) concentrators?
A: Oxygen analyzers are sensitive to backpressure. Exposing the sensor port directly to high-velocity oxygen lines exceeding 3 PSIG can create internal pressure buildup, leading to artificially low or unstable readings. Always use a T-adapter or bleed-off line to allow excess gas pressure to vent safely during high-flow testing.
