Ventilator Analyzer -
VentMeter
P/N: 1901509
– Rev 05
The VentMeter Gas Flow Analyzer is a device designed to carry out lung ventilator
evaluation. The measured parameters are: Flow, Volume, Pressure, Times, Frequency,
Compliance, and Resistance, among others. For these measurements, the analyzer
counts with a flow sensor and transducer set extremely precise that grants measurement
precision.
This analyzer coupled to lung ventilator under test and a lung simulator allows its complete
characterization.
Basic Characteristics:
•
AC Input 100 ~ 240 V
AC
– 50 ~ 60 Hz;
•
Internal battery with intelligent charger;
•
Graphic LCD display to show monitored parameters and pressure curve, flow
curve and volume curve;
•
FiO
2
monitor, maximum pressure, mean pressure and PEEP/CPAP pressure,
respiration frequency (rate) and I:E ratio;
•
Key to navigate among many available screens;
•
Key to select the monitored parameters to be visualized;
•
Allows
– serial communication to a PC for registering results.
•
PulmoTrend Software
– to register data and best visualization.
Warning
•
This symbol
indicates to read the instruction manual to get more information.
•
This equipment should be used exclusively to evaluate lung ventilators performance. It
should not be used to monitor patient ventilation in Intensive Care Units.
•
This manual should be completely read, to safely and correct use of the equipment and to
get maximum performance.
•
Disconnect the equipment from electrical power source before cleaning.
•
Do not expose this equipment to liquids to avoid electrical shock hazards. Do not use the
equipment if the internal components were being exposed to liquids.
Caution
•
The Ventilator Analyzer
don’t emit electromagnetically waves that interfere in the functioning
of the
equipment’s in its proximity.
•
The Ventilator Analyzer should be CALIBRATED yearly. All the maintenance service
procedure should be done by trained personnel only.
•
Use only parts, pieces, cables and sensors specified and acquired from
MAGNAMED
. Part
Number in chapter 12.
•
Turn on the equipment and proceed to the verification and basic adjustments
– follow the
instructions;
•
Wait at least 30 minutes to get temperature stabilization in order to have stable pressure and
flow readings.
•
Observe the correct connection of the flow sensor and verify that no obstruction is present
inside the sensor.
•
Do not expose the equipment to extreme temperatures. To get correct measurements be sure
that the ambient temperature is between 18 and 40 ºC during its use.
•
Do not use the equipment if any problem cannot be solved.
