Dear Sir,
I would like to know how medical ventilators are calibrated. What setup used for calibration. How much you are charging for that? What std you are following?
Pls send these details.
Can you repair and service the Timeter RT200 ventilator testers. We have several of these in need of repair, and would like to bring them back into service, as our Field Service Technicians prefer these to the newer Respical model. The RT 200 has an error on the low pressure modes, which doesn’t allow you to zero or use the channel. Any info would be very helpful.
We have had several issues with Timeter RT200 ventilator testers, and have full wiring and potentiometer detaiuls for service, repair and calibration adjustment of the meters. PM me for details
Malorkodi. Medical Ventilators are tested and calibrated for several different parameters, depending upon the model purchased. They would generally cover low flow, high flow, low pressure, high pressure, tidal volume, gas concentration and temperature. Some also cover humidity and atmospheric pressure. To calibrate you will need a very accurate system for all these parameters. Our ventilator testers are returned to the manufacturer and calibrated on primary and secondary reference standards, to the manufacturers own procedures. As there is no international standard, we find it best to use the original manufacturer.
We also send our Ventilator Testers back to the manufacturer for calibration, although this is a real pain, as the tester will be away for over 2 weeks. I wasn’t aware of this company prior to the blog, and will contact them to discuss the level of calibration they can undertake.
We have a large stock of used medical equipment calibrators from Fluke, Metron, Zoll, Timeter, Purittan B, etc. Please visit http://www.labx.com
I am to a great extent impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the writer of http://www.youngcalibration.co.uk can continue to provide so much practical information and unforgettable experience to http://www.youngcalibration.co.uk readers.
Anyone have the calibration commands available for use on Respical ventilator testers when using the factory connector. Was told by a Allied rep that the calibration can be adjusted with simple script commands via the rear port connector.
We have many old ventilator calibrators available for purchase, some are for spares or repairs and would be ideal for a calibration service company.
Has anyone any experience of the Rigel 355 Ventilator Tester, in terms of reliability, drift and calibration. Also can this unit be adjusted if outside calibration specification, by internal EBME staff.
Hi Guys,Just registered here and looking to find some user info on the Rigel 355 vs Fluke VT Mobile. Any experiences good and bad much appreaciated.
Never had pleasure of abusing the Rigel 355, but the Fluke VT Mobile unit is a great little performer. Nice and small and after 8 months I’ve not had any issues. The calibration lab technicians ran a check afte 6 months and everything was still within the manufcaturers specification.
Ventilator pros & cons have been discussed on the EBME website, please click here for one of the links.
Great medical blog can be found on Electromedical Info Blog

Gents, just to give some feedback on our IMT Medical PF-300 Ventilator Analyzer. Easy to setup, compact, lightweight, great range of functions and just returned from a calibration, with minimal drift, actually less than 1/4 of the manufacturers specification. Can highly reccomend this flow analyzer.
Interesting to hear about the IMT PF300, we have two and are giving good service todate. Will be going for their first calibration next month.
I am Erika from Los Angeles,CA and I enjoy visiting this site. Respical very popular here, but newer calibrators starting to appear from euro zone. Any info on IMT would helpful
