EZ-FLOW Airway Flow Sensors
|
|
 The EZ-Flow flow sensor was
designed to take the cost out of respiratory mechanics monitoring without
compromising performance. The sensor is classified as a fixed orifice,
differential pressure device. It is unique in that it exhibits a
differential pressure / flow curve which is much more linear than other
fixed orifice sensors. This is important in many aspects such as maximizing
low flow resolution and minimizing overall
added airway resistance. |
|
EZ-Flow is available for patients of
all ages and sizes. Our regular EZ-Flow was designed for the
flow/volume ranges of adult and pediatric patients. Our newest EZ-Flow
can handle the most demanding neonate patients, with reliable volume
measurements down to 10cc! We offer our standard tri-tubing for use
with the METEOR Respiratory Mechanics Monitor, or our larger inner diameter
tri-tubing for long term / high humidity environments.
