New original Reusable VELA Diamond 16496 Sensor Assembly for Vyaire VELA Diamond Ventilator

New original Reusable VELA Diamond 16496 Sensor Assembly for Vyaire VELA Diamond Ventilator

 
 
► Brief Introduction
 

This is a reusable flow sensor assembly (Part No. 16496) designed for the VELA Diamond ventilator. Its primary function is to monitor expiratory airflow data, providing reliable information to the ventilator; it is commonly used for maintenance and replacement in ICU and emergency department settings.

Constructed from transparent, high-temperature-resistant medical-grade resin, the sensor allows for easy visual inspection of the internal airway for accumulated moisture. It features a locking 6-pin connector with a protective housing, ensuring a secure connection that prevents accidental disconnection or air leaks. Additionally, the unit is latex-free, thereby reducing the risk of allergic reactions in patients.

 
► Features

1. Real-time Bidirectional Airflow Sensing

Simultaneously monitors inspiratory and expiratory airflow data, tracking gas flow in the patient's airway to provide the fundamental measurements required by the ventilator unit.

2. Tidal Volume Calculation

Automatically calculates the patient's tidal volume, ensuring the ventilator delivers ventilation according to preset parameters and maintaining stable ventilatory therapy.

3. Anomaly Feedback

In the event of an air leak or blockage, the sensor data is instantly relayed to the main unit, triggering an alarm to enable rapid troubleshooting by medical staff.

4. Design for Quick Assembly, Disassembly, and Maintenance

Features standardized bayonet connectors for easy installation and removal; the structural design supports standard cleaning and disinfection protocols, facilitating routine equipment maintenance within the clinical department.

►FAQ
 

Q1: Can the 16496 sensor be used with the Vela II ventilator model?

A1: No. The 16496 sensor is designed specifically for the Vela Diamond model; the Vela II requires flow sensor part number 15972, as the connectors and pneumatic circuit designs are incompatible.

Q2: What are the consequences of condensation accumulating inside the sensor's transparent chamber?

A2: Accumulated water can obstruct the sensing path, causing flow reading drift and inaccurate tidal volume measurements; the water must be removed promptly to prevent false ventilator alarms.

Q3: If the ventilator continuously reports a flow sensor fault after installation, what should be checked first?

A3: First, check the tubing for kinks or damage and ensure the connector is fully seated and locked in place; then, inspect the sensor's pneumatic path for any blockages caused by secretions.
