The DPM5 adds an integrated pump and dual-port design aimed at streamlining pressure testing across common hospital equipment.
Fluke Biomedical has introduced the DPM5 digital pressure meter, a new device designed for testing pressure in a range of medical equipment, including patient monitors, infusion pumps, ventilators, and dialysis machines.
The DPM5 includes an integrated pressure pump, allowing users to generate pressure without external accessories. The company says this design can help reduce setup time and improve consistency during testing. A dual-port system supports both dry gas and water measurements, enabling use across multiple device types.
According to Fluke Biomedical, the meter also includes preloaded applications for common procedures such as occlusion, leakage, and valve testing. A touchscreen interface is designed to allow users to set parameters and review results directly on the device.
Key specifications and features include:
- Dual-port design supporting dry gas (0–1200 mmHg / 0–23 PSI) and dry gas or water (-750–7500 mmHg / -14.5–150 PSI) measurements
- Integrated pressure pump for on-device pressure generation
- Preloaded test applications for occlusion, leakage, valve, and atmospheric pressure testing
- Touchscreen interface for setup and results review
- Battery-powered, portable design for use in clinical and field environments
“The DPM5 Digital Pressure Meter redefines medical device pressure testing by combining precision, portability, and ease of use,” says Lizzy Thompson, product manager at Fluke Biomedical, in a release. “With its built-in pressure pump, dual-port system, and intuitive design, the DPM5 streamlines workflows, reduces manual effort, and helps ensure reliable results for healthcare technology professionals.”
