outside the nursing sector. It must not be used directly on patients or devices that
are connected to patients. The measuring instrument FlowAnalyser is intended for
over-the-counter sale.
FlowAnalyser is the solution for measurements in the following areas:
• Flow Low (-20 – 20 L/min)
• Flow High (-300 – 300 L/min)
• Volume
• Differential pressure
• High pressure
• Ambient pressure
• Oxygen
• Temperature
• Air humidity
• Dew point temperature
In addition, various ventilation parameters can be measured:
• Inspiratory volume, expiratory volume
• Ventilation rate
• I:E
• Inspiratory time, expiratory time
• Ppeak
• Pmean
• Pplateau
• PEEP
• PF Insp (inspiratory peak flow)
• PF Exp (expiratory peak flow)
• Ti/TCycle
• Cstat
• Delta P
FlowAnalyser is a measuring instrument for checking and calibrating
ventilators and anaesthetic machines. It must not be used for patient
monitoring. During patient treatment by the ventilator it is not allowed
to connect to FlowAnalyser.
