I was very happy when I successfully hid our Miran 1B in the back closet &
everyone forgot about it. It never served us well at any hazmat scene on
our campus. It was easily knocked around (its not as portable as that old
Aetna commercial made it look!) and the calibration would skew. An
equipment rep for the new Miran offered us a few hundred dollars as a
trade in, but we didn't have the money & couldn't justify buying the new
model.

Hi All,
I am working with a client and we have discovered a Foxboro Analytical
Model
Miran 1B2 Ambient Air Analyzer in a storage closet. It appears to be
complete
except for the filter. It was due for calibration in 2000. Yes, you read
that
right - 11 years ago.
My question to the list is: Does anybody know if this piece of equipment
can
still be calibrated / repaired / maintained / etc.? Would it be worth the
client's while to get it back into running condition and sell it or should
they
just junk it? Their emergency response team has no one trained to use
this, nor
do thye really want to have their people trained to such a high level that
they
would need this (they want a "see the spill, notify, evacuate" level).
Thanks,
Wendy
