venTest OPERATORS MANUAL
2 Overview
Datrend venTest is a compact, mobile and easy to handle measuring device for ventilation
parameters, which is able to be adapted to nearly every ventilator measuring task. It is appropriate
for testing ventilators of virtually any type, as well as other measuring tasks in which you have to
measure gas flow and pressure.
To successfully manage your measuring tasks, it is of prime importance to read this manual
entirely and follow the instructions accurately.
You can configure the venTest exactly to your preferred measuring conditions. This may require a
high level of parameter adjustment, which is accessed via a clearly arranged, menu driven user
interface. Handle the venTest with care. The flow and oxygen sensor have the benefit of not being
integrated into the device, and therefore may be placed in areas that a larger system may not
normally fit. However, it is necessary to handle the sensors with care. The same applies to the
corresponding sensor cables.
Exposure to direct sunlight on the venTest, as well as on all connected sensors should be avoided
because this may cause a rise in measured values. It is not recommended to use the device
outside.
L
ATTENTION!
The venTest is not a monitor to be connected to a patient. It is a
testing and measuring device.
During patient care via a ventilator, connection to the venTest is
prohibited.
