Blackline Safety will begin shipping our new Cartridge F2 for diffusion devices starting May 1, 2025. This update follows our certification on a new performance standard for LEL sensors. Your device behavior will remain unchanged when using the new cartridge and you will notnotice any differences in day-to-day operation as long as your firmware is up to date.
