Remote gas sample analysis and monitoring system with an onsite onboard gas analyzer calibration system
First Claim
1. A method for calibrating a compressed breathing air analysis module, comprising the steps of:
- providing said compressed breathing air analysis module at a user facility with a compressed breathing air sample from a calibration canister contained on-board on said compressed breathing air analysis module;
detecting, on said compressed breathing air analysis module, one or more compressed breathing air characteristics of said compressed breathing air sample;
comparing, on said compressed breathing air analysis module, said one or more compressed breathing air characteristics of said compressed breathing air sample to known calibration data stored on said module, said known calibration data corresponding to the actual characteristics of said compressed breathing air sample; and
in response to determining that said detected compressed breathing air characteristics are dissimilar to said actual characteristics of said compressed breathing air sample stored on said module, adjusting said compressed breathing air module to account for dissimilarities.

Abstract
A gas analyzer system for analyzing and monitoring samples of compressed or ambient gas such as breathing air and informing the user as to the results of the sample'"'"'s gas purity without the gas sample having to be physically transported to an accredited laboratory. The system comprises a gas analysis module situated at a user facility for receiving the contents of a gas sample and detecting gas impurity characteristics, and a server situated at a remote certification and monitoring center and electrically coupled to the gas analysis module via a bi-directional communications link such a computer network connection. The remote server receives and stores the gas purity characteristics in the form of gas impurity data obtained from the analysis module. The module includes a calibration canister containing a known gas. The module executes onboard calibration by analyzing the calibration gas and comparing it to known data stored on the module.
