Description
MSA ALTAIR io™ 6 Multigas Detector - Coming Soon!
The MSA ALTAIR io 6 Multigas Detector is MSA Safety’s newest connected gas detection solution, purpose-built for confined space monitoring and pre-entry sampling. As MSA’s first six-gas detector with integrated cellular connectivity and a built-in pump, the io 6 delivers advanced visibility, control, and data access across demanding industrial environments.
Introduced at the 2025 National Safety Congress & Expo and the A+A International Trade Fair, the ALTAIR io 6 expands the MSA Connected Work Platform by complementing the ALTAIR io 4 Gas Detection Wearable. While the io 4 focuses on continuous personal monitoring, the io 6 is engineered specifically for job-site and confined space sampling applications where verification before entry is critical.
Designed for Confined Space Sampling
The ALTAIR io 6 is optimized for pre-entry and on-site gas sampling, helping safety teams identify atmospheric hazards before workers enter confined or enclosed spaces. Its integrated pump and compact design allow the unit to be used either handheld or worn, adapting easily to varying site requirements.

Connected Work Platform & MSA Grid
As part of the MSA Connected Work Platform, the ALTAIR io 6 integrates seamlessly with MSA Grid software. Sharing the same interface as the ALTAIR io 4, both devices can be deployed together and managed within a single connected fleet.
- Real-time device location tracking
- Instant alert notifications
- Centralized access to data from individual units or entire fleets
- Simplified fleet management for mixed io 4 and io 6 deployments
This unified ecosystem enables safety managers to improve compliance, response time, and operational efficiency across complex or geographically distributed worksites.
Key Features & Benefits
- Six-Gas Detection for complex hazardous environments
- Integrated Pump for confined space and pre-entry sampling
- Cellular Connectivity for real-time communication without local infrastructure
- MSA XCell® Sensors for proven accuracy and reliability
- Large, High-Visibility Display for clear readings in challenging conditions
- Removable Rechargeable External Battery for flexible power management
- Wearable or Handheld Design to match site-specific needs
ALTAIR io 6 vs. ALTAIR io 4
| Primary Function | Confined space and job-site sampling | Continuous personal gas monitoring |
