What are ventilator testers used for?
Ventilator testers are specialised gas flow analysers used to verify the accuracy and performance of ventilators, ensuring they deliver the correct level of ventilation needed for critically ill patients. They are also used to test other medical devices, such as pressure gauges, anaesthesia machines, flow meters, and surgical suction devices.
Why is regular calibration of ventilator testers important?
Ventilator testers play a critical role in patient care, particularly in Hospital departments, where they ensure ventilators are functioning correctly before being used in life-saving situations. Annual calibration is essential to maintain accuracy, giving hospitals confidence in their equipment’s reliability.
