GAS FLOW TESTER (Certifier FA Plus)
Definition
Device designed to check the correct calibration of anaesthesia, intensive care and emergency ventilators. It allows precise control of the various respiratory parameters, such as flow, pressure, frequency, tidal volume, I/E ratio, oxygen concentration, etc...
This tester is capable of testing virtually all types of ventilators (Anaesthesia, Resuscitation, Emergency) as well as all types of ventilation modes (Adult, Child, Neonatal, Controlled Volume, Controlled Pressure...).
This test tool is intended for technical staff (technician, biomedical specialist) in order to carry out a control at least once a year. This device with flow and pressure sensors must be calibrated every year. It is composed of an acquisition module to be connected to the respiratory line between the Y-piece and the test lung, and a tactile reading module for taking measurements.
It can also test a variety of other medical equipment such as anaesthesia gas delivery machines, insufflators and oxygen concentrators.
TSI flowmeters should NEVER be used for human measurements.

To be Ordered Separately
EIMTVETE02- TEST LUNG, 1 l, for ventilator
Instructions for use
To be used by a biomedical flying technician (MIO, RTR, MST, ...) (or someone trained for) for performing the annual control of ventilators.
DO NOT use if the input and/or the output of the high flow module are not protected by the protection caps !
For the pressure measurements, ensure that you are using the good connection, on the high flow module, according to the pressure of the system (high or low pressure).
ALWAYS respect the direction of the flow indicated by the arrow on the high flow module !
ALWAYS use an antibacterial filter BEFORE the high flow module !
In case of using the O2 cell, ALWAYS perform a 21% O2 calibration BEFORE making any measurement.
An annual calibration has to be performed. Send the device back to your biomed referent to perform it.
The device is supplied with different electrical plugs. Choose yours according to your mission electrical system !
Precautions for Use
- To avoid the risk of explosion, do not use in the presence of flammable anaesthetic gases.
- Only TSI qualified and trained service technicians are authorised to service the Certifier® FA Test System.
- To avoid inaccurate test readings, do not obstruct tubing or inlet or exhaust ports, and always use dry gas.
- To avoid damage to the Certifier® FA Test System components, always use bacteria filters upstream of the flow modules, and always cap flow module ports when not in use.
- Always connect the additional adapter for connecting the pressure transducer (marked "+" on the acquisition module) to the breathing circuit through the small tubing provided for this purpose.
- Always ensure that the equipment has been calibrated less than one year before use.
