    Gas Calibration Scope

    Parameters Measured

    Flow Rate

    Measures bidirectional gas flow up to ±300 L/min with automatic compensation for ATP, NTP, and BTPS gas standards.

    Airway Pressure

    Evaluates Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP), Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP), and mean airway pressure up to 160 mbar.

    Tidal & Minute Volume

    Calculates inspiratory and expiratory tidal volumes (Vti, Vte) down to 0.1 mL micro-delivery for neonatal ventilation.

    Oxygen Concentration

    Integrated fast paramagnetic oxygen sensors measuring FiO₂ concentration levels continuously from 0 to 100%.

    Gas Temperature

    Monitors inline gas delivery temperatures to prevent thermal airway injury during humidified ventilation.

    Relative Humidity

    Analyzes relative gas humidity levels (0 to 100% RH) to compensate for BTPS conditions in heated breathing circuits.

    FAQ Helpdesk

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is ventilator testing?
    Ventilator testing involves verifying the volumetric delivery accuracy, airway pressure curves, oxygen concentration (FiO₂), and breath timing of mechanical ventilators and anesthesia delivery workstations per ISO 80601-2-12 safety standards to ensure patient ventilation safety.
    Our analyzers support intensive care (ICU) ventilators, neonatal micro-flow ventilators, transport ventilators, anesthesia gas machines, CPAP/BiPAP non-invasive devices, oxygen concentrators, and spirometry flow equipment.
    Key parameters include peak flow rate, inspiratory/expiratory tidal volume, minute volume, airway pressure (PIP, PEEP), oxygen concentration (0-100%), breath rate, I:E ratio, inspiratory time, gas temperature, and relative humidity.
    Healthcare guidelines typically require preventive maintenance testing every 6 to 12 months. In addition, full flow and pressure verification should be conducted after any valve maintenance, sensor replacement, or software update.
