A device designed to graphically record the instantaneous flow (velocity) of air at the mouth or, using an integrated signal, the volume of air per breath during inspiration or expiration. This recorder consists of a resistance attachment (e.g., wire screen...

Laminar airflow hood

74 GUDID devices

A ventilated laboratory enclosure designed to prevent airborne biological contamination of laboratory specimens contained within, and personnel handling the specimen, by creating a barrier with a forced flow of uniform-velocity and parallel-direction air. I...

Class-I biological safety cabinet

A furniture-like device designed as a partial or total enclosure to provide a class I biosafety level (BSL) to the operator and the environment during the manipulation of microorganisms and other biological hazardous materials (usually up to category 3 path...

Home-use sleep apnoea recording system

36 GUDID devices

A battery-powered device assembly intended to continuously measure and record patient physiological parameters (e.g., arterial oxygen saturation level, pulse rate, respiration effort/pattern, airflow waveform) during sleep in the home, to facilitate the dia...

Sleep disorder interpretive software

35 GUDID devices

An interpretive software program intended to collect and analyse patient physiological data during sleep and publish reports to assist a healthcare professional in the diagnosis of sleep disorders (e.g., insomnia, snoring, sleep apnoea) or to help evaluate ...

Nasal breathing aid, internal, reusable

19 GUDID devices

An internal device intended to improve breathing by decreasing nasal resistance, thus increasing nasal airflow. It is typically in the form of clip, constructed from metal or plastic, that is placed inside the nostrils; it acts by pushing the nostrils open ...

Surgical laminar airflow unit

17 GUDID devices

An electrically-powered device designed to filter air [usually through a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter] in surgical theatres by producing a directed, non-turbulent flow of clean air to provide an area free of contaminants and reduce the risk...

Class-II biological safety cabinet

16 GUDID devices

A furniture-like device designed as a partial or total enclosure to provide a class II biosafety level (BSL) to the operator, the product, and the environment during the manipulation of microorganisms and other biological hazardous materials (usually up to ...
