ts the critical upper limit. The list, initially published by the US Navy, is nowadays known as the IANTD- list. We
modified this list for the use with Aladin
®
Air Z Nitrox in cooperation with Dr. Bill Hamilton, Hamilton Research
Ltd. (Tarrytown, NY), a well-known specialist.
Since long term oxygen intoxication is almost irrelevant for diving with independent diving equipment it is the-
refore not considered in the calculations of Aladin
®
Air Z Nitrox.
Safety Considerations
• The Aladin
®
Air Z Nitrox is designed for dives with Nitrox (max.50% O
2
) and compressed air
(21% O
2
) only. Do not use the Aladin ® Air Z Nitrox for dives with other breathing mixes.
• It is essential to check the O
2
settings of your computer before each dive and to compare them
with the gas mixture you are using. Always remember: Wrong mixture settings can result in
insufficient calculations of decompression time and oxygen-toxicity, which can be fatal!
• The danger of nitrogen narcosis must always be taken into consideration, regardless of the gas
mixture you are using. The Aladin
®
Air Z Nitrox gives no warning about this.
• Always check the diving limits considering the oxygen content and standard sports diving pro-
cedures. Do not dive deeper than 40 metres (130 feet).
• If the CNS O
2
status reaches 75% you must ascent immediatly!
• Only dive with Nitrox after you have been thoroughly instructed by a recognised institution.
• When diving with Nitrox only use components that have been authorized for diving with Nitrox
equipment.
• Only use Aladin
®
Air Z Nitrox with open breathing systems. Aladin
®
Air Z Nitrox must be set for
a determined gas mixture. In semi-closed and closed systems the gas mixture can vary consi-
derably. The calculations may yield results different from those necessary for the actual mixture.
• Only use Aladin ® Air Z Nitrox for diving with an independent breathing apparatus. Aladin ® Air
Z Nitrox is not designed for long-term exposure to Nitrox.
• Make sure your surface interval is long enough (just like diving with compressed air). Oxygen,
too, needs sufficient time to leave the body. Do not start your next dive before your CNS O
2
%
status has dropped below 40%.
