  • Mobile Destruction Unit study in Anaesthesia Reports

    In a recent UK clinical study where Medclairs mobile destruction unit was used, the median ambient nitrous oxide levels were 81% lower than the baseline when handling nitrous oxide via a low-profile face mask. Anaesthesia Reports is the official journal of the Association of Anaesthetists. The journal was previously published under the title of 'Anaesthesia Cases'.

  • Industry Recognition

    Work environment studies from independent third-parties have been conducted that validate our equipment. It was found that the destruction of nitrous oxide was higher than 99.9%, the noise level was below 35 decibels, and the energy consumption was estimated to be in the range between 3.1 kWh and 14.2 kWh per kg N2O.

Answers to frequently asked questions

  • N2O is a colorless and non-flammable substance that has important medical applications. It functions as a mild anesthetic and is highly utilized due to its cost-effectiveness, safety, and ease of administration.

  • Nitrous oxide is a gas possessing analgesic and anxiolytic properties, commonly utilized as a treatment during labor, pediatrics treatments, procedural pain management, dental surgeries, and emergency room settings. It is highly valued for its ability to provide fast, reliable, and safe relief from pain and anxiety.

  • If not properly collected and destroyed, N2O can have effect on both the climate and the staff administering it. N2O is 298 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2), making it crucial to implement nitrous oxide collection and destruction technologies to mitigate its impact on the environment and ensure the safety of personnel.

  • Medclair has developed a state-of-the-art technology that can be centrally installed, allowing it to operate several treatment rooms simultaneously. Additionally, we offer a mobile unit that can be easily transported and utilized in various settings. Our systems are available in both high-flow and our patented low-flow designs, providing optimal solutions to meet the needs of any environment.

  • While it is not possible to completely eliminate all concerns related to nitrous oxide in healthcare, Medclair offers a comprehensive solution that addresses the major concerns associated with the gas. Our technology is designed to measure, collect, and destroy N2O, thereby addressing issues related to patient safety, work environment, and general emissions.

  • A single central unit that can handle large volumes of nitrous oxide emissions and effectively destruct them from multiple treatment rooms. Our system operates at a purification efficiency of above 95%, ensuring highly efficient capture and destruction of N2O emissions.

  • The mobile unit has a high degree of efficiency, with a purification rate of above 99%. Additionally, our mobile unit allows for easy movement from patient to patient, making it a convenient and versatile solution for managing nitrous oxide emissions in healthcare settings.

What our customers are saying

  • "It’s going to help change the future and it’s going to massively help the environment, not just for ourselves but for future generations as well."

    First Midwife in UK to deliver gas and air climate-friendly birth at Newcastle Hospitals NHS Trust

  • "By virtually eliminating the production of nitrous oxide in this way, we are creating a safer space for mothers during labour and helping to protect the environment their babies will grow up in."

    Director of Midwifery, Frimley Health NHS Trust Foundation

  • "This destruction technology offers us an opportunity to address this issue head on and we look forward to breaking new ground with the mobile units the minute they arrive! Both Medclair and BPR Medical have been a huge support throughout this journey and our teams have learned so much already about what this will offer.”

    Consultant Anaesthetist, St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

  • “I feel very privileged and proud actually – it’s the little things you don’t often think about and it’s nice that someone thought about making these changes which will be better for the environment and for midwives who are working here all the time."

    The first person in the UK to use climate-friendly pain relief during labour after giving birth at Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary, September 2021

  • "Yesterday we had a very special delivery - as Rosie Martha O’Sullivan became the UK's first baby to be delivered by climate-friendly gas & air. This Medclair technology purifies 99.6% of exhaled nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas. It's better for the environment, patients & staff."

    Chief Executive Officer, Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, September 2021

  • “Thanks to BPR and Medclair, our goal of significantly cutting our nitrous oxide emissions, as laid out in our SHINE sustainability strategy, is now on track. The MDU is now a part of the day to day running of our maternity award, offering patients climate friendly pain relief. We now look forward to seeing this technology being scaled out across the NHS, and as forecast in the NHS Net Zero white paper, seeing anaesthetic emissions cut by over a third.”

    Sustainability lead at Newcastle Hospital

  • "Now we can continue to offer nitrous oxide to patients with dentophobia, without having the negative climate impacts that this previously entailed. The mobile destructor breaks down approx. 99% of the residual gas. This plays an important part of our environmental work."

    Dentist, Dentist Clinic in Västmanland, Sweden

  • "Using nitrous oxide, which is both a painkiller and a sedative, makes a huge difference in these procedures that have previously been very traumatizing for children or required anesthesia to be carried out. I think the mobile units should be available at health centers and everywhere."

    Pediatric Nurse, Children's Emergency Department in Huddinge, Sweden

  • "The Dentist Clinic Örnen in Avesta has been using a mobile destruction unit since 2015. The potential to prevent nitrous oxide release and the fact that the unit is portable made it an easy decision. This equipment has become a very important resource and has facilitated and improved the quality of our work in many ways."

    Dentist & Direct of Department at the Dentist Clinic Örnen in Avesta, Sweden

  • “This is such an important project for the Delivery Suite and Newcastle Birthing Centre at the Royal Victoria Infirmary. Both on an individual level for staff, reducing their exposure to high levels of nitrous oxide, but of course for the environment. Entonox is a really helpful analgesic in labour which many women benefit from and we are delighted to be able to provide this in a significantly more sustainable way.”

    Consultant Anaesthetist at NUHT

  • “The team from BPR and Medclair have worked closely with clinicians and patients to ensure this technology is accessible to trusts across the NHS. The efficacy of the technology in converting nitrous oxide emissions is also promising, with initial estimates from Medclair backed up by the recent study in Manchester. This has been an overwhelmingly successful project in dealing with analgesic gas emissions which we continue to work on scaling out across hospitals in the north east to achieve our net zero goals.”

    Leads the NENC Sustainable Healthcare working group

  • "Our climate is a concern to us all. Also regarding nitrous oxide use. With destruction technology installed we and the women can now use nitrous oxide with a clear conscience. Payers, estate teams, maternity staff, local politicians, industri partners but most important the women."
