A breakdown of ventilator test system specs, from measurement ranges to connectivity and calibration needs.

Ventilator test systems are a staple in healthcare technology management (HTM), but they don’t all work the same way. Measurement ranges, gas compatibility, interface options, and portability can vary widely, and so can the software and calibration support behind them. This guide brings those details together so HTM teams can quickly see what each system offers and how they differ.

Description:Co-developed with a ventilator manufacturer, the venTest is the only a-la-carte analyzer available, meaning users can purchase high fow, low flow, oxygen, anesthesia, and high-pressure sensors separately. Combine with vPad safety analyzer to test electrical safety and ventilators at the same time with automatic sequences.The Fluke VT900A Gas Flow Analyzer is a portable, high-accuracy tool for testing gas flow/ventilator performance. With ±300 lpm airflow, oxygen, temp, and humidity measurements, it helps ensure precise results. Its 7″ touchscreen, USB export, and 8-hour battery boost usability. Compact and rugged, it’s perfect for on-the-go use.The CITREX H5 provides a flexible and adaptable platform for testing various medical devices. With its 4.3″ multi-touch screen and advanced user interface, values and measurement curves are displayed in a clearly arranged manner, and they can be completely customized per the user’s preferences. CITREX H5 is ideal for checking ventilators, anesthesia machines, CO2 insufflators.Highly portable, all-in-one gas flow analyzer which measures over 24 parameters of ventilator performance, plus has the ability to test anesthesia workstations with an optional anesthetic agent analyzer. Certifier gas flow analyzers are capable of communicating with common mobile apps via Bluetooth.Modular gas flow analyzer which measures over 24 parameters of ventilator performance, plus has the ability to be mounted directly onto the ventilator to free up workspace when servicing ventilators. Test anesthesia workstations with an optional anesthetic agent analyzer. Communicates with common mobile apps.
