fairly accurate with its predictions when operated in typical conditions of exercise and CO2 load.
Doesn't the Hollis Prism or maybe it's the Explorer have a co2 sensor?
Edit: Looks like it's the SCR Explorer that also has the infrared sensor.

"While at depth, the greater partial pressure of oxygen in the breathing supply forces more oxygen into solution in the blood plasma. Some of this additional oxygen reaches the cells and helps to offset the hypoxia. In addition, the increased partial pressure of oxygen forcibly displaces some carbon monoxide from the hemoglobin. During ascent, however, as the partial pressure of oxygen diminishes, the full effect of carbon monoxide poisoning is felt."
This would suggest that contaminated gas is not necessarily a "silly theory". I have little knowledge of rebreathers but wonder if coming off the loop reduces the PP of O2.
Maybe Tony Chaney should contact DAN to have them correct their literature:Care to elaborate? I've also been taught CO kills you on ascent.
Only reason I'd expect no CO is because of the gases used, but since there's still a compressor involved...
