FlowQCHT310/HT320 Ultrasonic Transonit-Time Flowmeters

Compact Ultrasonic Flowmeters with Basic Features

 


HT310: single channel

HT320: dual channel for simultaneous flow measurements

Features
  • Large Visible Display of mean volume flow (ml/min)
  • FlowSound®: an audible indication of volume flow .
  • Invert: indicates direction of flow
  • Signal Quality Indicator: tells quality of ultrasonic contact
  • Easy Operation: one button operation

 

CompatibleFlowprobes

FMV

HQ-Series Flowprobes for Real-time, quantitative measurements of blood flow.

  • Perivascular flowprobes: non-constrictive, simple application to exposed vessels
  • Precalibrated Probes - report pulsatile, directional flow in ml/min
  • Tubing Flowsensors - report flow in bypass tubing
  • Safe, Low Power Transonic Ultrasound
     

a_bayonet_probe_web

Micro-Flowprobes - used to compare baseline and post-clip flows during aneurysm surgery.

  • Designed for deep intracranial surgery.
  • Their bayonet handle permits use under a surgical microscope .
  • A flexible neck segment permits bending the flowprobe as needed for any vessel orientation.
  • Disposable (to prohibit spread of Creutzfeld-Jakobs Disease [CJD])
     
Flowsensors

Transonic XL Sensors
Ultrasonic transit-time sensors, specifically designed for tubing, measure volume flow with highest accuracy. Most non-aerated liquids can be measured including saline and buffer solutions, blood, water and even diesel fuel. No physical contact is made with the fluid media.

XL-Series Flowsensors can be calibrated and programmed for up to 4 different fluid / temperature / tubing combinations and will work with most flexible tubing types. Sensor size is determined by outside diameter of the tubing.

Specifications

HT310/HT320(-CS): HT310: Single channel flowmeter; HT320: Dual-channel flowmeter; HT310, 9.3 lb (4.2Kg, HT320: 10 lbs (4.5 Kg) 11"(27.8 cm) wide x 4" (9.1 cm) high x 14" (35.4 cm) deep; attached two-meter flowprobe-to-flowmeter extension cable per channel; separate grounded medical grade power line-cord.

Input Power: Universal Power Supply 50-60 Hz; 100-240 V ± 10% (automatic voltage adjustment)

Fuses: 1.5A fast blo, mfg: bussman #GMA1.5,250 VAC
Both power entry conductors are protected by size 5 x 20 mm fuses.

Electrical Isolation: Cabinet is grounded; line to ground leakage current: less than 100 µA @220-240 V line. All electronic components and cabling of the probe extension cable and probe are fully isolated to meet IEC "cardiac floating" specifications. Defibrillator protection: probes can remain attached to the patient during cardiac defibrillation, for instantaneous report on the restoration of flow.

Automatic Meter Adjustments for all operational settings

  • Ultrasound frequency and insonification parameters
  • Probe size and corresponding flow output ranges
  • Volume flow calibration of connected flowprobe
  • Flow sampling rate: optimized for local acoustic conditions

Digital Identification: Probe identification and calibration parameters are programmed on an EEPROM inside the probe connector.

Compatible Flowprobes Meters accept a range of HQ-Series probes for intraoperative surgical use. See probe specifications above or contact your local representative for models, sizes and recommended uses.

-CS Option Flowmeter Inputs Two BNC connectors are provided on the rear panel asa auxiliary inputs (i.e., pressure or EKG monitors). Each accepts a signal range of ±5V.

RS232 output: Optically isolated output connector meeting IEC060 patient isolation. Permits connector to a laptop or other data monitor computer. The ± 5V analog signals (and pressure, EKG Signals for -CS option meters) are digitized at 100 sampling rate with 12-bit resolution. Data is supplied in FLOWTRACE software at 19200 Baud.

Ultrasonic Frequency/Parameters: The ultrasound output level of the flowsensors is factory-set and does not incorporate any interactive system features. These settings are made using "ALARA" principles (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), and are orders of magnitude below the FDA "preamendment levels," the USA insonification safety limits.

  • Transducer excitation: Burst of 10 to 24 waves (probe size dependent).
  • Transducer excitation frequency: 1.2 MHz to 4.8 MHz (probe size dependent).
  • Transducer excitation rate: 1.2 KHz to 14 KHz (probe size dependent), automatically reduced further when probe operates in adverse acoustic conditions that would degrade measurement accuracy.

Regulatory Compliance: Transonic Systems flowmeters and sensors comply with USA standards for medical and dental equipment (UL2601-1), and with European standards for medical and ultrasonic apparatus (IEC 601-1). These products are CE marked per 93/42EEC Annex II. Transonic Systems is an ISO9001/EN46001-certified facility.
