This assures the Controller Chassis and Ground Terminal are connected to a good earth ground and reduces danger from electrical shock. Do Not Use A -Wire Adapter. The controller should always be turned off with the power on-off switch. For 0V 50Hz electrical sources, the controller can be ordered with an International Power Cord with appropriate power plug. WARNING: Connect to hospital grade receptacle only. Possible explosion hazard if used in presence of flammable anesthetics. Electric shock hazard-do Not Remove Cover, refer service to qualified service personnel. Replace fuses with the same type and rating, 50 Volt 1/ Amp. CAUTION: On the heated models, the external surface of the PNT is hot, ranging from 5 C to 45 C depending on the control setting. Do Not allow this instrument to contact the patient. Particular care should be taken in neonatal applications where the PNT is mounted close to the patient. Thermal protection is incorporated to shut off the heater permanently if a heater malfunction occurs. CAUTION: Do not mix & match pneumotach components between different pneumotachs. Every PNT Adapter, Screen, Spacer, Body & Shell should be kept together & reassembled as was received originally. The shell (heated & non-heated), body & screens/spacers are all serialized to assure correct reassembly. See section 6.0 Exploded Assembly Drawings, Repair & Replacement parts, Page 8 for location of this marking. CAUTION! READ BEFORE USING PNEUMOTACH! Screen PNTs will not function properly if used in humidified circuits where moisture can collect on the screens and occlude them. Heated models should be evaluated in these situations through visual inspection of the screens after the PNT has been used in the circuit for the desired amount of time.

Page 1.6 Inspection And Usage A visual inspection of the mating tapers should be made to verify a good clean surface free of nicks or scratches, which would allow a wrung grip to disconnect prematurely. There should be no perceptible rocking in any direction when the components are wrung together. If accidental disconnection is a safety or critical concern, the user should attach an elastic band or other device to prevent separations of the connection components..0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Hans Rudolph, inc. Pneumotachs (PNT) have been specifically designed, patented and manufactured for human and animal physiological respiratory studies and testing. The linear and bi-directional patented Rudolph Pneumotach is available in a wide range of sizes from 0- L/min to 0-800 L/min calibrated flow ranges. The pneumotachs are available as heated and non-heated. The Series 850 Heater Control is designed to control the temperature of the screen assemblies, allowing a temperature variance of C to 4 C. Heater Controls are available as one or two pneumotach adaptable, and are 115V 60Hz or 0V 50Hz Switch Selectable..0 THEORY OF OPERATION/PURPOSE OF THE DEVICE.1 General Information Pneumotachometers are air flow sensors which convert air flow into proportional differential pressure. To transmit this proportional differential signal pressure to one of many recording devices (computer, strip chart recorder, oscilloscope, X-Y recorder) an output voltage proportional to the applied pressure must be provided. This is done by connecting a differential pressure transducer to the signal pressure taps of the pneumotach. The pressure transducer converts the differential pressure supplied by the pneumotachometer into an analog electrical value. For this purpose, the transducer must be connected to a measuring bridge or bridge amplifier. Typically the dynamic response of the system is largely affected by the pressure transducer and associated tubing and fittings. Each Rudolph Pneumotach, supplied with a graph showing the signal pressure & back pressure values at incremental flow rates throughout its range is ready to measure flow when connected to a differential pressure transducer and amplifier recording system. The patented Rudolph Linear Pneumotachometer uses a special screen design to convey flow of gases in either direction into a proportional signal of pressure difference at opposite sides of the center screen. The design results in linearity over the complete model series flow range. Sizes are available for specific use in the areas of premature infants, neonates and small animals such as mice, rats & guinea pigs through adults and large animals. Primarily used for pulmonary function testing, stress/exercise testing, respiratory care, metabolic measurements and physiological human/animal research.. Design Criteria All sizes of pneumotachs are designed to have minimum volume dead space and to be linear and bi-directional over entire designated flow range. In applications where humidity & moisture are a concern, leaving water vapor condensation on the screens of the pneumotach, the heated pneumotach and heater control are recommended. If water vapor condensation is not a possibility, the non-heated pneumotach is available. The complete range of pneumotachs are available as heated & non-heated. The heated pneumotach can be used without the heater shell and heater control unit. Likewise, the non-heated pneumotach may be converted to a heated unit by replacing the non-heated shell with a heater shell assembly and heater control unit. Series 840/841, 840/841, 84/8411, 800/811 & 719/4719 pneumotachs have only one screen, with spacers replacing the other two screens, unlike the Series 500/4500, 700/4700, 80/480 and 81/481 pneumotachs which are three screen designs, (refer to exploded assembly drawings). 698-014-05-05 Rev.

Page 4. Principle of Operation The Rudolph Pneumotach (PNT) operates as other differential pressure ( P) flow meters in the equations of flow that it uses. The principal theory may be stated as a mathematical law known as Poiseuille's Law which relates the volume of air flow through a tube to the differential pressure, diameter of the tube, length of the tube and the viscosity of the flowing air. This law is based upon the assumption that the air flow in the tube is laminar. Flows with a Reynold's number less than 000 are considered laminar. The Reynold's number is a dimensionless parameter of the air flow that is used to determine if the flow is laminar or turbulent. In laminar flow, the P is linearly related to the air flow volume of the flowing air, whereas for turbulent flow the differential pressure ( P) is related to the square of the air flow volume of the flowing air. In the typical respiratory flow circuit the air flow is turbulent with Reynolds number >000. Installing a Rudolph PNT into the flow circuit will create laminar flow because the design provides many passageways in the fine mesh screen, each of which has a uniform hydraulic diameter. The degree to which this mesh screen distributes the flow profile is a function of the Reynolds number based on screen wire diameter and mesh opening hole size. The Rudolph PNT geometry has many advantages over other screen type pneumotachs. The higher flow PNTs i.e. 0-800, 0-400, 0-160 and 0-5 L/min incorporate a three screen design where the differential sensing points are on either side of the middle screen assembly. In turbulent flow the axial flow profile is irregular, whereas, in laminar flow the profile is well developed with a parabolic velocity distribution. As the irregular turbulent flow approaches the three screen assembly of the PNT the outer screen disturbs the flow profile creating more even distribution of flow. This improves linearity by controlling the flow profile at the entrance to the middle screen where the P is measured..4 Calibration Each PNT is calibrated in both flow directions without a heater at static flow rates throughout it's full range. Calibration is performed in series with laminar flow elements that are linearized and traceable to NIST. A compressed air flow system is used with flowing air temperature maintained at 1 C, humidity less than 0% RH, the Calibration Data is provided with each PNT. Hans Rudolph, inc. recommends that each PNT should be calibrated in the field to verify the performance in a flow circuit different from the original calibration. If possible, use a calibration gas which simulates the composition, temperature and humidity of the gas to be measured..5 Installation Requirements The recommended installation is five diameters (ID) of straight bore tube upstream of the PNT. If the PNT is used bidirectionally then follow this recommendation for both up and down stream diameters. Eliminate flow disturbances wherever possible such as elbows, reductions or expansions close to the PNT. Attach mating tubing or connectors to the outside diameter of the PNT ports not to the inside diameter. Always verify calibration of the PNT over the entire range of flows in the circuit installation..6 Turndown Ratio Typical turndown ratio for Rudolph PNTs is to 1. This is the range that each PNT is calibrated. For example the 0-800 L/min PNT is calibrated from 80-800 L/min in % increments. Lower flows are measurable and repeatable by applying a curve fit to the measured P..7 Linearity Linearity is better than ± % of reading of Best Straight Line (BSL). This specification is the PNT differential pressure ( P) signal measured on the calibration flow bench at static flow rates with a high accuracy ±.08% of reading P transducer..8 Performance The Rudolph PNT is manufactured of quality materials to offer long term performance. All PNTs can be disassembled in seconds for inspection, cleaning and part replacement. The screen assemblies are a precision subassembly consisting of oxide plated brass rings and a stainless steel screen that is optically aligned and serialized for maximum consistency. 698-4 014-05-05 Rev.

Dead Space Volume Total volume inside the PNT. In some applications this is a critical parameter. Signal Pressure Differential Pressure ( P) output that is a function of the flow rate. A Differential Pressure ( P) Transducer is required that is rated for this pressure range. Tube connections between transducer and PNT should be leak free, non-compliant and minimum length. Back Pressure Pressure drop across the entire PNT. This is measured at each calibration flow rate. Tube Adapter Diameters Ports on the PNT which thread into the main housing are either straight diameters or medical tapers.. Secondary Instrumentation A Differential Pressure Transducer is required to measure the differential pressure signal from the PNT. Full scale pressure range of the transducer should be closely matched with the full scale P signal of the PNT. Two pressure taps are provided on the PNT for.15"(.mm) ID tubing that will mate with a P transducer. Tubing should be noncompliant at these pressures, short as possible and equal length. Connected to the P transducer is a carrier demodulator circuit used to provide transducer excitation and to amplify and demodulate the output from the transducer. Typical output is linear analog ± VDC to ± VDC. These voltage signals from the carrier demodulator are fed into an A/D card in a PC (Personal Computer) converting analog into digital information which interfaces with the pulmonary analysis software. The PC software samples the incoming flow signal and continuously integrates, calculating total volume..11 Viscosity & Temperature Poiseuille's Law states that the pressure developed in laminar air flow conditions is directly proportional to the gas viscosity. Gases show an increase in absolute viscosity with an increase in gas temperature. The differential pressure for a given volume of air flow will increase as stated by Poiseuille's Law as the viscosity of the flowing air increases. The viscosity of a gas mixture can be calculated by weighted averages of the viscosities of the gases composing the mixture. For the types of gases found in respiratory circuits over the temperature range 0-40 C the fractional change in viscosity of the mixture as a function of temperature is in the range of.005/ C. The fractional change in the volume with temperature at constant pressure is.004/ C. When there is a temperature difference between the heated PNT and the flowing gas the correction factor will depend on the flow rate. If the PNT heats the gas it will increase the viscosity and volume of the gas at that instant. The temperature rise will depend on the time the gas is in contact with the screens. This time will vary with the flow rate. An estimation of this correction is very difficult. Temperature and gas composition would have to be monitored continuously at the PNT with corrections made to the instantaneous flow rates. Corrections can be made by calibrating with the test gas..1 Gas Density Gas density is not a factor in Poiseuille's Law so it will not have an affect on the P of the PNT, but it is a factor in the Reynold's number calculation and will affect the maximum flow rate for which the PNT response is linear. 698-5 014-05-05 Rev.

Page 1 9.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 9. 1 Non-Heated Pneumotach a) Connect the Port Tubes (Both Large & Small Flange Sides) to the ga flow circuitry. b) Complete the pressure connection between the Differential Pressure Tapson the Pneumotach and the appropriate ports of the Differential Pressure Transducer. The flow will then be detected by pressure changes recorded in the Transducer Amplifier Recording System. The individual calibration record facilitates converting the signal pressure reading of the Pneumotachometer, Transducer & Amplifier System into a Flow Rate recorded in units of Umin. The calibration records are direct reading values of Differential Pressure in millimeters of water gauge relative to the air flow rate. It should be noted that small differences in absolute values may be experienced through the errors inherent in an electronic transducer amplifier system. 9. Heated Pneumotach & Heater Control l er a) Press the On/ Off Li ghted Power S wi tch. Use only a polarized - wire AC outlet. This assures the Heater Control Chassis and Ground Terminal are connected to a good earth ground and reduces danger of electrical shock. Do not use a -wire adapter. The control should always be turned off with the power on/off switch. A hospital grade cord set is provided for 115V 60Hz U.S.A. power requirements and a foreign country specific cord set is provided for 0V 50Hz International requirements. Plug in power cord and switch to on position. Lighted switch indicates power to the controller. b) Check the voltage selector switch on the rear panel. c) Set the PNT S elector S witch to Pneumotach (PNT) Series that is connected to the Heater Control. d) Set the S creen Temperature S etti ng on the Temperature Controller to the maximum temperature measured in the Flow Circuit. e) For Warm-Up wait approximately 5 minutes with Model Series 840, 840, 84, 800, 500,719 & 700 and approximately 15 minutes for Model Series 80 & 81. f) Connect the Port Tubes to the Gas Flow Circuitry. g) Complete the pressure connection between the Differential Pressure Taps on the Pneumotach and the appropriate ports of the Differential Pressure Transducer. The Heating Pilot Light located on the Front Panel of the Heater Controller is illuminated only when the Thermistor Sensor in the Heater Shell senses a temperature lower than that set on the screen temperature setting. This pilot light should come on when the controller is plugged in and the screen temperature setting is set above room temperature. NOTE: During use the pilot light should cycle on and off. CAUTION: If the pilot does not cycle or light up, and the pneumotach still warms up, the controller is defective and should be returned for repair. If the pilot does not light and the pneumotach does not heat, check the fuses. If the fuses are good return the Heater Controller and the Heater Shell/Cable Assembly for repair, only after you have verified that their is voltage at the 1 or 0 Volt AC power outlet. On all returns provide written description of conditions under which the unit failed. Contact Hans Rudolph, inc. for a Return Authorization Number (RAN). NOTE: If there is visible water vapor or condensate in the breathing tubes leading to the Pneumotach, it is suggested that 1 C to C higher than circuit temperature be selected on controller screen temperature setting. This differential should be able to handle the high humidity and avoid condensation on Pneumotach Screens. 698-1 014-05-05 Rev. O Prices & Specifications subject to change without notice

9.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.) 9. Heated Pneumotach & Heater Control l er (Cont. ) CAUTION: Screen pneumotachs will not function properly if used in humidified circuits where moisture can collect on the screens and occlude them. Heated models should be evaluated in these situations through visual inspection of the screens after the PNT has be used in the circuit for the desired amount of time. Do not use in a humidified ventilator circuit for long term continuous flow monitoring. 9. Electronic Features of the Heater Controller The Pneumotach Heater Control contains the Automatic Temperature Sensing and Control Circuitry, Panel Mounted Receptacle for the PNT Heater Shell and Cable Assembly 5 Pin Connectors and the AC Line Power Conversion Circuitry. The Automatic Temperature S ensing and Control Circuitry is all solid state, utilizing a State-of-the-Art Thermistor Sensor (Thermal Resistor) to provide feedback to a proportional control circuit. The Thermistor Feedback is in the form of Absolute Resistance, which is converted to a voltage signal that is compared to a voltage signal representative of the desired temperature setting. The result of this comparison commands power to be supplied to the Heating Element within the Heater Shell Assembly, proportional to the deviation between the sensed temperature and the desired temperature setting. As the two temperatures close, the power to the heater is decreased and eventually discontinues when the temperatures are equal. Page 1 A Heating Pilot Light illuminates when power is being applied to the heater. As the heater shell temperature rises to the desired temperature setting, the light diminishes and eventually extinguishes when the temperature becomes equal. The AC Line Power Conversion Circuitry isolates the Automatic Sensing and control circuitry and the Heater and Heater Shell Assembly from the AC line. The Solid State Circuitry and Heater all operate at a safe 1VDC voltage level. The AC line portion is protected by Line Fuses. CAUTION: Because of the presence of the AC Line Voltage, this unit should never be used in an explosive or flammable environment. The Temperature Control provides for adjusti ng the temperature of the screens within the Heater Shell Assembly: Between C and 4 C. Normally a temperature setting between 7 C and 4 C will adequately prevent condensation. When not in use, position the temperature setting to C. This setting is normally well below room temperature and will cause the heater to remain off. If the room temperature falls below C, the control will automatically maintain C to minimize the warm-up time. An on/off switch is on the unit to turn power off when the unit is not in use. The Heater Control is adaptable for foreign 0V 50Hz or U.S.A. 115V 60Hz. Select appropriate part number (P/N) from the ordering information section on Data Sheet 697 Rudolph Linear Pneumotachs or the Linear Pneumotachometers section of the Detailed Price List.
