NewLifeBox-R is a precision instrument for measuring airway flow and mask pressure. The device is individually calibrated, and complies to EN 60601-1-2 regarding electrical safety. NewLifeBox-R can be used in a broad range of pulmonary science applications.
NewLifebox-R connects to exchangeable medical flow transducers that are available in many countries world-wide. The flow transducer probe is placed between the resuscitator T-piece or ventilation bag and the mask. At this location, flow and pressure applied to the patient can be precisely measured. The probe adds approximately 2.8 cm to the height of the T-piece-mask unit. It adds a dead-space of only 0.7 mL.
NewLifebox-R is able to measure air flows from 24 mL/min up to 30 L/min. Via the same tubing system, the applied pressure is also measured.
Using our special software it is possible to measure small tidal volumes with a deviation of less than 1.5% of expected volume per breath (measured with a calibrated syringe for 10 and 20 mL using a new, unused flow transducer). Pressure measurements we have shown to have a deviation of generally less than 1% of the expected pressure.
