1 Introduction
The Certifier
®
Flow Analyzer (FA) Test System is a multi-functional pneumatic tester
designed specifically for the medical industry. Specific measurements for ventilator
testing are programmed and include flows, volumes, pressures, oxygen concentration,
and breath timing. The Certifier
®
FA Plus Test System is designed for hospital, home
care, field service, and laboratory settings.
Certifier
®
FA Test System components include:
Interface Module
The keypad and touch screen display allow you to select test
measurements and units for display. The Interface Module
connects to the High or Low Flow Module.
High Flow Module
Measures air, oxygen (O
2
), nitrogen (N
2
) and carbon dioxide
(CO
2
) flow rate over a range of 0 to 300 standard liters per
minute (0 to 40 standard L/min for CO
2
). A 150 PSI (10 Bar)
gauge transducer, a barometric pressure transducer, and a
150 cm H
2
O differential pressure transducer are also in the
High Flow Module.
Low Flow Module
Measures air, O
2
, N
2
, CO
2
and nitrous oxide (N
2
O) flow rate
over a range of 0.01 to 20 standard L/min with greater
accuracy than the High Flow Module at low flow rates.
Oxygen Sensor
Used with the High Flow module, allows the High Flow Module
to measure O
2
concentration and other measurements for any
mixture of air and O
2
.
You can connect or disconnect the flow modules and oxygen sensor at any time during
normal operation without interrupting the operation of the instrument.
Lithium-Ion batteries or an AC adapter can be used to power the test system.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of explosion,
do
not
use in the presence of flammable anesthetic
gases.
Only TSI qualified and trained service technicians are authorized to service the
Certifier
®
FA Test System.
