Description
Ventronics 5576 Polarographic Monitor Oxygen Analysis Measurement
The Ventronics 5576 is a polarographic oxygen monitor designed for precise measurement and monitoring of oxygen levels (pO2 — partial pressure of oxygen) in laboratory, clinical, and medical gas applications. Polarographic monitors are standard instruments in respiratory therapy, anesthesiology, intensive care, and gas-analysis environments where real-time dissolved oxygen or gas-phase oxygen measurement is essential. This unit reads oxygen concentration and partial pressure through a polarographic sensor cell, providing stable numeric output for monitoring oxygen levels in blood gas analysis systems, medical gas delivery, and laboratory research.

Applications
Polarographic oxygen monitors like the Ventronics 5576 are essential analytical instruments in medical and laboratory settings. They are commonly used in respiratory therapy units, intensive care, operating rooms, and anesthesiology to monitor and measure oxygen levels in blood samples (blood gas analysis), medical gas mixtures, and laboratory solutions. The polarographic method — measuring the electrical current produced when oxygen is reduced at a cathode — is a proven, stable approach that has been the standard for clinical oxygen measurement since the mid-20th century. The Ventronics 5576 represents mid-era benchtop laboratory equipment from when digital oxygen monitors were becoming standard in hospitals and diagnostic labs. Today, these units remain in use in legacy systems, teaching laboratories, and facilities maintaining older blood gas analyzer suites, as well as in research environments requiring reliable oxygen measurement. The monitor integrates into blood gas analysis workflows and can operate as a standalone oxygen measurement device.
This Ventronics 5576 polarographic oxygen monitor has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The unit is sold without a sensor; the monitor itself has been visually assessed and is ready for use with an appropriate compatible polarographic sensor (contact us to confirm sensor compatibility for your application). Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
