Specifications
Specifications for S-3A/I Oxygen Analyzer:
|
Speed of Response: To 90% of final value in less than 100 milliseconds for a step change in oxygen concentration; achieved without electronic anticipation circuitry. The lag or transport time (time needed for sample to travel from source to sensor), and possible mixing of sample gas front, will be greater with increase in sample line length and diameter, and with decrease in flow rate. |

|
Specifications for CD-3A Carbon Dioxide Analyzer: |
|
Speed of Response: To 90% of final value in less than 100 milliseconds for a step change in carbon dioxide concentration; the lag or transport time (time needed for sample to travel from source to sensor), and possible mixing of sample gas front, will be greater with increase in sample line length and diameter, and with decrease in flow rate. |
|
Accuracy: ±0.02% carbon dioxide or 1% of the reading, whichever is larger |
|
Sensitivity: ±0.01% carbon dioxide |
|
Resolution: Digital Display: ±0.01% carbon dioxide |
|
Range: 0-15% carbon dioxide |
|
Display: Continuous display of CO2 concentration or End Tidal for each breath |
|
Analog Output: Buffered 0 to 15% CO2 |
|
Sample Flow Rate: 10-1000 ml/min |
|
Stability: ±0.02% carbon dioxide at 5% in 8 hours maximum drift |
|

October 24, 2000 (905) 525-9140
x24465 Mr. Henry Ginsberg Dear Mr. H. Ginsberg and J. Veltre: I am writing this letter to let you know that since purchasing your Moxus metabolic cart 8 months ago we have been extremely happy with the performance of this product. Our decision to purchase and AEI system was based on my and my co-worker's past experience with a number of other metabolic carts including the Physiodyne Max-1 cart, Vacumed systems, and various Sensormedics systems. I can honestly say that based on my past experience and my current experience, your system has outperfomed all of the aforementioned systems in the areas of both reproducibility and accuracy (when compared with Douglas bags) of ventilation, V02, and VCO2. Interestingly, in a recent comparison (using 6 subjects) of both the peak and steady-state VO2, VCO2, and ventilation values and we obtained from a set of AEI's old (both more than 15 years) oxygen and carbon dioxide analyzers the values were within 3±1% of that obtained with the new Moxus cart. This level of stability is no doubt enviable amongst your competitors. Moreover, I would like to add that the level of service and courtesy that we have received from your company has been over and above that received from both Physiodyne and Sensormedics. I would go so far as to say that your professional and accommodating attitude eclipses that of your competitors! In short, please feel free to use me as a reference for people who may be considering purchasing your system. I would be happy to tell them what a tremendous and highly reliable product you have and what great service you offer. I wish you continued success at AEI; however, I suspect that with continued service such as you now offer along with solid products I suspect that success will not be a problem. Sincerely, Stuart M. Phillips, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, McMaster University |
