Ultrasonic Flow Sensor, Flow Path Valve and eDemand
The calibration-free ultrasonic sensor breaks new grounds in measurement technology. The heart of the system is a high speed transducer, engineered for accurate and reliable clinical results. The ultrasonic flow sensor is waterproof, can be easily disinfected and is characterised by low resistance and dead space.
Furthermore the Vyntus ONE is equipped with an innovative Flow Path Valve and eDemand. The maintenance free, quiet and fast magnetically-controlled shutter delivers a more comfortable testing experience for the patient.
To further improve your patients’ experience, the electronically controlled gas eDemand valve reduces cracking pressure and is highly responsive to the patient’s effort. And, since it’s closer to the patient it maintains ease of breathing throughout the testing manoeuvres.
By using our MicroGard II filter the ultrasonic sensor and the Flow Path Valve and eDemand needs to be cleaned only every 3 months (based on the Bio Burden DIN EN ISO 11737-1: Report 17AA0042).
Digital Volume Transducer for the CPET Measurements
The Digital Volume Transducer DVT is the ideal volume sensor for high ventilation during exercise and can be connected directly to a mouthpiece or mask. The precise bi-directional DVT is compact, lightweight (45g only), insensitive both to water vapor and breathing gas concentrations and has a low dead space (30ml). The renowned DVT has been proven to be highly accurate in many clinical studies.
