In a typical example, a patient
monitor manufacturer desires to add Respiratory Mechanics monitoring to a
new ventilator. After researching the market, the manufacturer
decides that a system compatible with a fixed orifice flow sensor (like
the EZ-Flow Sensor) is desirable for proximal monitoring and minimal
per-patient cost.
The manufacturer finds our website
and decides to purchase the Respiratory Mechanics Evaluation Kit.
The PC software is loaded, and the engineers begin to evaluate the
functionality of the Module. Below is a screen capture of the
demonstration software.
After observing the basic
functionality of the Respiratory Mechanics Module, the engineers begin to
plan the integration of the Module into the final product. The
engineers use the Communication Protocol included with the Kit to send
commands and observe responses from the Module. The manufacturer
decides to proceed with the product development, and places an order for
more Modules to build prototypes and clinical test units. If
desired, the Modules can be ordered in custom configurations:
-
19,200 or 38,400 baud
-
even, odd or no parity
-
waveform datarates from 0 to
100Hz
-
enabled or disabled transmission
of numeric parameters
-
with or without purge pump
-
with or without tubing detection
