Purpose: 

To insure the accuracy of data by the pulmonary function machine. To simulate the activity of a human during a pulmonary function test. To implement a proficiency test for all labs. This syringe will also provide external calibration for daily use to collect, compile and compare data with like models / series.

To report all data for certifications, and early detection of error. To make the super syringe more versatile while maintaining it’s originality.

The Calibration Syringe Plus measures every test done in a complete P.F.T.  Lung volume test are, performed directly and indirectly. Tidal Volume is breathing while @ rest. When plunger #5 is placed between # ‘s 2 and 3-w/F.R.C. bag #6 attached. FRC bag # 6 is equipped with communication Tube #11 which is connected to the PFT analyzer #9. The FRC bag is filled with air; air consists of 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. With each stroke of the plunger, 100% oxygen replaces the air in the FRC bag; analyzer #9 measures this volume.  Slow vital Capacity (SVC) is the maximum amount of air volume produced from a maximum inhalation to exhalation. Remember stoppers # 2 and 3 must be in the upward position, plunger #5 withdrawn completely, and pushed forward. Now all volumes are ready for calculation. FRC simple volume, (ERV) Expiatory Reserve Volume is achieved, from normal exhalation to exhaling all volume possible. The (RV) Residual Volume is calculated by subtracting the ERV from the FRC. The (TLC) Total Lung Capacity is calculated by adding the SVC and the RV. This concludes all volume testing. Allowing a patient to breathe carbon monoxide to maximum inhalation, hold for 10 seconds, then maximum exhalation performs single breath diffusion. A portion of the carbon monoxide is diffused into the blood; the other portion is exhaled back into the pft#9 analyzer and compared to a predicted value. Height, weight, age, and sex determine all predicted values. The DLCO #7 technology allows to perform the same test. Not by diffusion but by dilution. The DLCO bag #7 is filled with air (79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen) when plunger # 5 is extended, the air from the DLCO bag #7 and the carbon monoxide from the PFT analyzer#9 is mixed for 10-20 seconds inside the super syringe #4. Now depress plunger #5 completely, the analyzer does the rest. If volume is important in this test the one way valve can and should be eliminated, then the inspired and expired volume would be equal.

Summary:

In todays Pulmonary Function Labs, Calibrations are done daily by using a 3- liter syringe, air volume is measured. Currently, technicians perform this test by comparing two tests. This method is not scientific. Before each Diffusion Test the carbon monoxide analyzer is calibrated. Quality Control is the Calibration Syringe Plus’ most promising quality as it checks all connected tubing, opening and closing of valves, and calculations of nitrogen and carbon monoxide. The Calibration Syringe Plus simulates the action of the human lung.

One of the patents that we own is described here. Patent# 6,651,666 is shown above . In today’s medical practice, in instances where patients cannot breath on  their own, i.e., drug overdose, heart attack, crushing injury to the chest, chronic smokers, infection and complications resulting from surgical procedures, We place an intubation 86 tube into them and we save lives. The intubation tube 86 is made of plastic  with a cuff 30 at one end filled with air and a  pilot balloon 92, located outside the body (the two are connected by a very small tube 94.

 

Breathing occurs in two part inspiration and exhalation. Reference page 3 of 3--- During the inspiratory cycle part of the air goes into the V.C.P.A. by way of 60, 64, 70, 76, 92, 94. The cuff receive the correct ammount of pressure at the right time. During the expiratory cycle the pressure decreses, 30, 94, 92, 76, 72, 66 this allows blood flow to return. The thumb wheel allows healthcare provider to adjest the pressure. Hospital policies/ Federal regulation (JCAHO) requires monitoring patients at all times that is the importance of the pressure manometer 76. Both cycles of pressure are measured

 

The intubation tube 86 is connected to the ventilator 18 and circuit 24. A ventilator 18 is  mechine that pushes air into the LUNGS (P). Listed below are the complications associated with artificial airways.

 

(1)   Low Cuff Pressure that leads to aspiration, aspiration is when fluid getting into the lungs (P) this causes pneumonia.

(2)   High Cuff Pressure stop blood flow, this causes tissue death adjacent to the cuff 30 (stenosis).

(3)   Pilot Balloon Leaks can cause harm to the patient, the prescribed amount of air not being delivered, also makes the ventilator 18 alarms sound. This changes the entire chemistry of the patient blood. The V.C.P.A. corrects all the above problems because the action occur with each breath.



It is understood that while certain forms of the present invention have been illustrated and described herein, it is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangements of parts described and shown.
