Assured, repeatable accuracy to enable safe, effective weaning.

Microflow microdial installed on a regulator which is on an oxygen tank. Also seen is a Microflow Microdial installed onto a hospial oxygen wall outlet.

What is Microflow used for?

Microflow is primarily used to supply supplementary oxygen to infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).

BPD is common in very low birth weight and pre-term infants that have needed mechanical ventilation or have been treated with high oxygen concentrations due to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)/ chronic lung disease (CLD).

The risk of RDS/CLD is inversely related to birth weight and gestational age.

Infants may need very low supplementary oxygen for many months to compensatefor underdeveloped lungs.

Microflow benefits

  • Enables baby to receive oxygen therapy at home, putting families together sooner and increasing parent satisfaction
  • Less time in hospital, lower cost of care
  • Accurate, repeatable steps
  • Micro step changes in flow
  • Enables low flow rates to achieve target saturation
  • Enables oxygen flow to be weaned

“We are using Microdial for infants on a small amount of oxygen, for more precise oxygen delivery and titration. Other flowmeters tend to fluctuate more easily and are not as precise as the Microdial.”
