Pressure Measurements using Manometer

Aussiegrouch · Post by **Aussiegrouch** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 12:11 pm

I have taken some pressure measurements on my Respironics M Series with A-Flex using a manometer plus data logging software.
This first example shows the ramp pressure plus CPAP at 14cmH2O

Forgive me if I'm being stupid, but I'm unsure of the time here. How long did it take for the machine to come up to 14 cm H20?

Tee hee. For some of us... it isn't "tomorrow" (Monday 1/28/08..) yet. Forgetting that you were in Austrailia, I was wondering if your meter was capable of foretelling the future.

Do you have a link for the manometer you are using and the software. I'm guessing it's not cheap, but it look useful. Jim

Hi Folks,
Here are the links to the Manometer & the software.
It is not cheap, but it is a very professional unit.
I have not seen it advertised any where else, so I can only assume that it is an Australian item.

Manometer: $AUD 225.00

Software: $AUD 54.89
http://gastools.com.au/shopping/index.p ... ucts_id=17

I am very happy with the unit.
All measurements were taken at the mask end of the hose via a homemade adapter.
I also use a RS232 to USB adapter as my laptop does not have any RS232 ports.
Cheers
Graham
