5.3.1.2 Precautions for Use of Flow Sensor Pressure Sampling Pipeline
Test Fixture
There are two connectors for pressure sampling lines on the flow sensor pressure sampling
pipeline test fixture, as shown below.
The connector for pressure sampling line can be connected with Φ6 silicone tubes.
When using the flow sensor pressure sampling pipeline test fixture, remove the expiratory
or inspiratory flow sensor from the patient circuit first. Then mount the flow sensor
pressure sampling pipeline test fixture onto the position where the expiratory or inspiratory
flow sensor was originally mounted and tighten the inspiratory/expiratory connector rotary
caps, as shown below. Perform test after connecting the Φ6 silicone tube to the connector
for pressure sampling line.
