The MetaNeb® System Instructions for Use (174432 REV 10) 39
Bench Performance Checks—Breathing Simulator
BENCH PERFORMANCE CHECKS—BREATHING
SIMULATOR
The performance checks shown on page 40 through page 42 were
measured by use of a breathing simulator.
WARNING:
Warning—Due to excessive restriction of valves in the Controller, reduced
performance levels may result when gas supply pressures < 50 psi (345
kPa) are used.
For these checks, we used a compressed gas supply of 50 to 55 psi
(345 to 379 kPa). The breathing simulator was configured with different
compliance and resistance values to represent different degrees of lung
health.
