The Instrumentation Industries, Inc. NS Series Airway Pressure Monitors are devices used to monitor patient airway pressure during ventilation within a breathing circuit. The pressure gauge is placed in the patient circuit at a point that provides optimal airway pressure readings. These devices are intended to be used by or on the order of a physician.
A mechanical device designed to provide a visual indication of a patient's airway pressure during ventilation. It is typically contained in a clear housing marked with a pressure scale [e.g., 5 to 60 cm H20 (hPa)], and has a spring-loaded indicator that, in resistance to the expiratory flow of air, registers the airway pressure. It connects to the manometer port of a variety of ventilation devices such as a resuscitation bag, hyperinflation bag, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mask, or a CPAP circuit. It may be used in a healthcare setting (including ambulatory) or in the home. This is a single-use device.
