Product catalog summary
Introduction to Ventilators
A ventilator is a medical device used in hospitals to assist patients with breathing, particularly those with lung diseases. It functions by delivering pure oxygen to the lungs and removing carbon dioxide from the body, aiding individuals who cannot breathe independently.

Who Needs a Ventilator?
Ventilators are necessary during surgeries involving anesthesia and for patients with impaired lung function due to diseases or conditions that make independent breathing difficult.

How Ventilators Work
Ventilators use positive pressure to push air or a mixture of gases into the lungs. They can be set to operate at a specific rate, ensuring continuous breathing support if the patient fails to breathe independently.

Importance of Oxygen Measurement
Oxygen sensors are crucial in ventilators to maintain stable oxygen concentration levels, ensuring adequate oxygen supply for patient breathing. If levels drop, the device alerts for necessary adjustments.

Oxygen Measurement Technologies
Various technologies are used to measure oxygen concentration, including:
  • Differential Pressure Sensor: Measures air flow through pressure differences.
  • Low Pressure Drop Flow Meter: Uses a hot wire to measure air mass flow.
  • Electrochemical Oxygen Sensor: Measures oxygen purity through current generated by dissolved oxygen.
  • Paramagnetic Oxygen Sensor: Utilizes oxygen's paramagnetic properties to measure concentration.
  • Zirconia Oxygen Sensor: Uses solid electrolytes to measure oxygen concentration.
  • Ultrasonic Oxygen Sensor: Measures flow and concentration using ultrasonic waves.


Comparison of Technologies
Each technology has its advantages and disadvantages, such as stability, accuracy, cost, and lifespan. The ultrasonic sensor is noted for its stability, long life, and ability to measure both concentration and flow.

Advantages of Gasboard8500
The Gasboard8500 offers several benefits for oxygen measurement in ventilators:
  • Utilizes advanced ultrasonic technology for mainstream oxygen concentration measurement.
  • Compact, stable, and accurate with low cost and long lifespan.
  • No routine calibration required and customizable for various configurations.
  • High flow range capability and compatibility with different oxygen sources.

A Ventilator is a medical device normally used in hospitals and medical organization to help patient breath and recover from lung diseases. Function of ventilator: Bring pure oxygen into the lungs. Remove carbon dioxide out of the body. (Carbon dioxide is a waste gas that can be toxic.) Help people have an easy breathe. Offer breath assistance for people who have lost all ability to breathe on their own.

Ventilators could be used in below 2 situations: 1. During surgery if you’re under anesthesia or under operation (ICU) needs assistance in breathing. If you have general anesthesia during surgery, you'll likely be connected to a ventilator. It is used to induce anesthesia can disrupt normal breathing. A ventilator helps you continue breathing during surgery. 2. If your lung function is impaired by a disease or condition. You will need a ventilator if your breathing is impaired by a disease or condition. It is very hard for you to breathe on your own. For example, you may feel short of breath...

3. How does a ventilator work? Ventilators bring fresh air or oxygen into your lung then take the wasted gas such as carbon dioxide out of your lung. Normally a ventilator uses positive pressure to blow air or a mixture of gases (like oxygen and air) into the lungs. Patients usually exhale( breath out) the air on their own, but sometimes the ventilator will exhale the air out too. Generally a ventilator working mode is set to breathe a set number of times a minutes to trigger the device to blow air into your lungs. But if patients fail to trigger the device within a certain amount of time, the...

into your mouth your throat During ventilator work process, we need an oxygen sensor to measure oxygen concentration to ensure the oxygen concentration is in stable level and oxygen is enough to help patient breath. If the oxygen level is lower than the set value, the device will alarm then need to change oxygen resource to ensure the smooth working of ventilator.

5. How does ventilator measure oxygen concentration? Technical principle Principle Description Differential Pressure Sensor In a bypass configuration, the differential pressure sensor is placed over a pressure drop element/ orifice. An air flow in the main pass will create a differential pressure over the pressure drop element, which is proportional to the air flow. Low Pressure Drop Flow Meter sensor A hot wire mass airflow sensor determines the mass of air flowing into the engine’s air intake system. The theory of operation of the hot wire mass airflow sensor is similar to that of the hot wire anemometer (which determines air velocity) The ...
