Vapotherm Precision Flow Features
The Precision Flow is a flow system that offers humidified respiratory therapy. The humidifier adds warm moisture to breathing gases from an external source for neonate, pediatric, or adult patients to make it easier to breathe. The Precision Flow also adds heat and moisture to other blended medical airs. The system provides flow rates up to 40 LPM for adults and 8LPM for infants. The humidifier provides blended oxygen that is heated and humidified for maximum patient comfort and compliance. The Air is administered through a nasal cannula.
- The patient circuit is detachable and disposable: no disinfection is necessary
- Minimal downtime between patients: less than five minutes to change disposables
- Built-in oxygen/air blender
- Built-in electronic flowmeters and controllers
- Self-testing and self-calibrating
- Internal battery backup maintains flow and oxygen percentage for at least 15 minutes if AC power is cut off. Battery recharges in 2 hrs.
- All internal sensors are self-calibrating and self-monitoring
- A single button starts and stops the device
- Temperature, flow, and oxygen percentage are adjusted via a single setting control knob on the front panel
- All values and alarms are displayed in a single large color-coded panel
- Flow range 1-40 L/min
- Oxygen percentage is fully adjustable from 21 to 100% when two 40 psi (276 kPa) gas sources are used
- The inlet gas pressure range is 4-85 psi (28-586 kPa)
- Single gas operation the Precision Flow® detects inlet gas pressure and blends flow based on demand required and available supply. Supply pressure determines FiO2 and delivered flow; if demand exceeds supply an alarm sounds
- At low gas inlet pressures, maximum flow rate and oxygen percentage settings are automatically reduced to match the inlet pressure
- Automatically senses cartridge type: maximum flow setting is automatically reduced if low flow cartridge is installed
- Warm-up time is less than five minutes
- The sterile water supply is connected to the disposable water path using a standard spike
- Universal power requirements allow use anywhere with only a change of power cord
