Data Sheet AUTOMATED DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVES LARGE INFLATABLE BALLOON-TYPE™ Series 9340, 8240, 8250, 2540, 2550, 2440 Product Description The Hans Rudolph line of Inflatable Balloon-Type directional control valves are designed specifically for use in respiratory circuits where a valve is required for directional control in the breathing circuit. These valves contain a proprietary inflatable silicone rubber balloon assembly that when inflated occludes (closes off) a flow bore of the valve. Valve configurations are available with one (one-way) through four balloons (five-way) depending on the directional control requirements of the circuit design. The inflatable balloon component will operate for several thousand inflations and is easily replaceable in the field. Controllers are available for use with these valves for manual and external input control of the balloon valve actuation. Typical applications include pulmonary function testing, exercise testing, and primarily respiratory research. 9340 Series Two-Way Shutoff Product Features • Valve housings machined and polished of clear Acrylic for balloon actuation visualization • Balloon inflation and deflation actuation is quick at 120 ms response time • Minimal valve breathing resistance to flow • Minimal valve rebreathing dead space volume • Three standard port sizes available • Port connections thread into valve housing for ease of changing sizes • Pneumatic Controllers available for one through four balloon valves • Pneumatic hand controls available for one and two balloon valaves • Sampling ports standard at the common port on all valves • Custom configurations of valves available • Custom connections (medical tapered, o-ring slip-fit, coupler lock-ring assembly) available • Reusable Left, 8240 Series Three-Way Right, 8250 Series Three-Way T-Shape™ 2540 Series Four-Way T-Shape™ Specifications Valve Series (2550 Four-Way Gatlin-Shape™ not shown) Number of Valve Ports Common Position Outlet Position Applicable Standards for medical tapered port connections: Hans Rudolph’s 15mm, 22mm & 30mm tapered port connections meet the ISO 5356-1:2015 (E) Standard for Conical Connectors, Cones and Sockets. General Information Intended Use Inflatable Balloon-Type valves are designed for use as a directional flow control valve in a respiratory circuit. These valves can be assembled with two way non-rebreathing valves to provide additional functions as required by the application. These valves contain a proprietary inflatable silicone rubber balloon that when inflated occludes (closes off) a flow bore of the valve. When the balloon element is not inflated air flow is allowed through that flow bore of the valve. Valves are designed as one-way through five-way configurations. Typical applications are pulmonary function testing, exercise testing and respiratory research. These valves are not designed to be used in life support systems such as a ventilator circuit. The inflatable balloon component of the valve is a replacement item that will rupture after several thousand inflations. Pneumatic controllers are available for these valves.
