iFlow 40 S Proximal Flow Sensor – Neonatal/Infant
The iFlow 40 S Proximal Flow Sensor is a high-precision respiratory monitoring sensor designed for neonatal and infant patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Installed close to the patient airway (proximal position), the sensor accurately measures airflow directly at the breathing interface, allowing clinicians to monitor ventilation parameters with exceptional sensitivity and reliability.
Engineered for neonatal applications, the iFlow 40 S supports accurate measurement of inspiratory and expiratory flow during respiratory therapy. Its low dead-space design helps maintain safe ventilation for newborns and premature infants, where even minimal volume differences are clinically significant.
This single-patient-use sensor integrates easily with compatible ventilator systems and breathing circuits, helping healthcare providers maintain accurate respiratory monitoring in neonatal intensive care environments.
Clinical Applications
The iFlow 40 S proximal flow sensor is used in critical neonatal respiratory monitoring and ventilation support, including:
Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU)
Mechanical ventilation monitoring for newborns and infants
Non-invasive and invasive neonatal ventilation systems
Respiratory therapy and pulmonary monitoring
Hospital ventilators requiring proximal flow measurement
Proximal flow sensors measure airflow directly at the airway opening, ensuring accurate monitoring of pressure and flow with fast response times during ventilation therapy.
