Flow Probes in two sizes are available for use with the Console. Each Flow Probe is a
reusable, non-patient contacting ultrasonic Flow Probe which is optimized to detect flows
from 0-10.0 LPM or 0 – 3.0 LPM depending on probe size.
The Flow Probes can detect retrograde flow. Retrograde flow of up to 2.0 LPM is
displayed as a negative number such as “-0.65 LPM”. Retrograde flow greater than 2.0
LPM is displayed as downward arrows “vv.vv LPM”. A disconnected or malfunctioning
probe will display dashes “--.--“. If the probe detects forward flow of more than 10 LPM
then it will display as “^^.^^ LPM”.
The Flow Probe used with the CentriMag
TM
Pump is an em-tec Adult Flow Probe that is
compatible with 3/8” ID PVC tubing with a 3/32” wall thickness. The Flow Probe used with
the PediMag
TM
Pump is an em-tec Pediatric Flow Probe that is compatible with 1/4” ID
PVC tubing with 3/32” wall thickness. Both probes incorporate a molded clip-on design for
easy care and handling.
