(0.001g) and Rainout characterization kit will be required. Refer to the Advanced
features section in the
flexiWare
user manual for further information.
Verify the results when they are displayed. The nebulizer output rate should be greater
than the values listed below for each nebulizer type.
Fine mist (ANP-1100): 0.1 ml/min
Standard mist (ANP-1000):0.3 ml/min
Additional channels may require calibration depending on the template selected.
Please refer to application specific documentation for further instructions.

Proceed to dynamic tube calibration .
This calibration must be performed with a cannula attached to the end of the Y-tubing.
Use the exact cannula that will be used for the experimentation.
The Dynamic Tube Calibration Wizard provides detailed steps for this process. In short,
there are 7 steps in tube calibration as follows:

Perturbation Selection
Each perturbation loaded into the template that you have selected is displayed. All
perturbations that are used during the experimentation session that follows should be
calibrated; they are not available for use otherwise. The Deep Inflation and SnapShot
perturbations must be calibrated in order to perform the quality control check of your setup and
ventilator circuit as described further. Ensure that each perturbation is preceeded by a
checkmark as in Figure 3-9 and click
