Standardized Protocol

How It Works

1

Connect Analyzer

Inline connect the gas flow sensor between the ventilator inspiratory circuit and standard test lung.

2

Select Profile

Choose adult, pediatric, or neonatal gas standards (ATP, NTP, BTPS) and gas composition (Air, O₂, N₂O).

3

Run Performance Test

Initiate mandatory ventilator delivery cycles across varying PEEP, inspiratory flow, and pressure controls.

4

Measure Parameters

Verify real-time peak inspiratory pressure, PEEP, tidal volume, O₂ concentration, and I:E timing on screen.

5

Export Report

Sync recorded gas logs to MED-eBase software to print official ISO 80601-2-12 compliance certificates.

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.
